ding ding ding... It's no coincidence that the offense came to life when Quickley was on the court. He's nowhere near as good as Young, but he's a good as the Knicks have. Thibs is basically sacrificing a net 6 to 10 points each half by starting Payton... this will not work in the playoffs, especially in a game where you lose on the last possession.

Playoff basketball is different... the Hawks are going to scout every one of Randle's pet moves and have their players take the exact angle they need to take to either force Randle into a shot he can't hit or get rid of it. Randle needs to stop forcing shots and find the open man and of course the that open man has to actually hit the shot. This playoff series comes at the perfect time for the Knicks in terms of long term planning... going into the playoff my belief is outside of Randle and maybe RJ, there isn't a player on the team who should be considered untouchable. Based off a one game sample, I'd say even Randle and RJ are tradeable. It will be fascinating to see if those two guys can step up.

The worst thing that can happen from here on out is Randle's regular season performance doesn't translate to the playoff basketball but the Knicks give him big money anyways.
