Thanks for the Game Thread Rady .. At the start of the season did u predict the Knicks would have a 33-27 record at all-star weekend?
Having a qualified starter PG Brunson, and a healthy veteran PG D.Rose, plus a young combo-guard Quickley's role at leading the point too in the rotation, had me predicted close to 40 wins by all-star break having a 10 man rotation.

Tonight game vs Washington Wizards is the start of a back to back game, tomorrow its the NO Pelicans in MSG.
Having a 10 Man rotation preparing for the two-day games are better than the 9 or 8 man rotation that also have a couple of inconsistent players ( ??) in the 9 or 8 man rotation.

We have to out score Beal KP and Kuzma tonight, plus lock down their scoring in the 4th quarter with some Knicks defense.
























close to 40 wins by All-star weekend having PG Brunson & PG D.Rose
 
Randle didn't even try to defend KP 19 pts in the 1st qtr. ??????

I miss Taj Gibson, he was the best big man coach on our bench
 
64-60 WAS at half. Good push at end of 2Q to make this a ballgame. Kuzma called Randle small and now JR has 25
 
Half Time .. Knicks 60 - Wizards 64

Randle went on a 13 pt charge in the 2nd quarter to have 25 pts at the half
Quickley looking good on and off the ball
MitchRob picked up a lot of cobwebs his time off that he have to knock off in these two back to back games
 
WAS with 18 made 3s… NY with 10. Brunson is 5-18… 6 to go and Knicks down 1. 98-97 after an 8-0 run.
 
Randle to MRob for the nail in the WAS coffin. 113-109… up 4 with 11 to go. Randle with career high 46. Kuzma makes a 3 but out of bounds. Let’s see if they get ball to Julius. Try to get him a 50 burger.

Brunson 6-20 but hit a huge shot in final minute.
 
After Kuzma taunted Randle, Knicks went on a 25-2 run. KP had 19 in first then held to just 4 FTs final 2 minutes of 4th for 23 points. Randle over KP in 2019 best thing that happened to Knicks since Allen Houston signed on.
 
Well, Randle's 46 pts snatched a Knicks win in Washington over the Wizards on Friday night Knicks ..
Next stop MSG vs NO Pelicans without Zion.
MitchRob return gets a double-double 1 steal 1 block in 28 min
 
RJ only 28 minutes......he had a great 3 minute span in the start of the 4th with 2 baskets and a great assist and then Thibs took him out.
Love that !!! in the words of Dark " let him earn it ".......You cannot be complacent on the court
 
With Hart on board, time for RJ to improve decision-making, body language, vision and activity… earn it!
 
RJ was great tonight. Knicks blow out NO….

On the night the Knicks honored the 1973 championship team:

73 first half points

Randle/RJ/Brunson combine for 73 points

They blow out NO. RJ with 25-4-7… Knicks could finish 4th for second time in 3 years. Meanwhile, Nets are a mess, DAL dumped KP, and Zion has played in half the games Barrett has…

Yet RJ still considered a bust while Zion escapes criticism.

I missed a Knicks blow-out win game over the Pelicans tonight .. I missed the Knicks grabbing a 21 pt half time lead, plus holding the lead throughout the 2nd half of the game for a 128-106 WIN.
The return of MitchRob's double-double Defense does bring wins !!!
 
If RJ can do what he did tonight the rest of the season then we can be a force in the playoffs....Not sure why he needed Hart to wake his ass up.
