The knicks played so solid, the starters played big minutes so they dominated the Pacers. It's a new look Knicks now and once again, I'm seeing the good numbers from Julius Randle, he scored 20 points and played almost 30 minutes, hopefully, this guy will mature and will not tank in the playoffs, it's hard to watch the Knicks struggles because Randle struggles.
Hopefully that will happen. Randle is still young and has a lot to improve.
with the help of those veteran stars who have much deeper experienced he might learn how to balance,
all in all, the guy already gaining star caliber player.
Nice win bro. Congratulations. All home teams won for this day. 1 of 2 for me.
Kemba and Fournier are excellent additions to the Knicks. Randle is no longer the playmaker, scorer, or mr. everything, which should help tremendously in improving team's shot quality/selection. Fournier is a significant upgrade over Bullock, he can not only catch and shoot, but he can also create and is a underrated passer. With those two in the starting lineup, the Knicks' spacing and overall ball movement are so much better.
I agree with the Fournier analysis and it looks like the floor will be stretched for the Knicks with Kemba around unlike last year where if Randle is having an off night they are having troubles looking for an outside shooter. A young core team guided by veterans will be a team to look at. They had a good spot in the playoffs last year and I bet it will better now.
I like Fournier visions. He's quietly facilitating a good passer and a deadly shooter if chance gives him the open look.
Knicks is more improve stats wise but still too early to say if how good they will go this season, looking forward to see more plays like this when the regular season start.
