Julius Randle Articles - Page 11

The New York Knicks and Cleveland Cavaliers were locked in a battle reminiscent of the early 2000s as both teams struggled to get into a rhythm throughout the night. The referees became particularly whistle-happy, as they called a season-high 13 traveling infractions that just sapped every sort of chance for either team to get into […]

A quarter of the way into the 2022-23 NBA season, the New York Knicks look like a team in basketball purgatory. The squad owns a mediocre 10-11 record, good enough for the 10th-best in the Eastern Conference. On the one hand, the team isn’t bad enough to have a legitimate shot at a top pick […]

Julius Randle was on one for the New York Knicks on Tuesday night. Randle exploded for a season-high 36 points to go along with seven boards and five dimes to lead the Knicks to a resounding 140-110 victory over the injury-ravaged Detroit Pistons. What spurred such an eruption from the 28-year old lefty, you may […]

Julius Randle is having quite a birthday Tuesday, as the New York Knicks just collected a 140-110 road win over the Detroit Pistons. Randle, who just turned 28 years old, made sure to put together a fantastic performance on his big day, leading both sides with 36 points while also adding seven rebounds, five assists, […]

Are the New York Knicks figuring things out? Perhaps. Jalen Brunson and Julius Randle led the way for the Knicks in their 106-103 victory against the Denver Nuggets, snapping their ignominious 16-year losing streak in Colorado. Randle, in particular, had his way against the Nuggets defense, dropping 34 points (on 11-21 shooting from the field) […]

Julius Randle and the New York Knicks have finally won in Denver, and it was quite a long wait for ‘Bockers fans. Apparently, prior to Wednesday’s showdown at Pepsi Center, the Knicks haven’t won in Colorado for over 16 years. The last time they did was back in November 2006, when the team was led […]

There are fewer things that stir the emotion more than witnessing your favorite sports team suffer a heartbreaking defeat. So with the New York Knicks in “desperation” mode, with rumors swirling around that head coach Tom Thibodeau is in the hot seat following a string of inconsistent performances, Julius Randle knew exactly how to get […]

The New York Knicks’ players decided to take action following their recent 145-135 loss at the hands of the Oklahoma City Thunder. Julius Randle reportedly called for a players only team dinner on Monday night ahead of the Knicks’ road game against the Jazz in Utah, per Steve Popper. The players said it was a […]

The New York Knicks entered the 2022-23 season full of expectations. The team had hopes of returning to the playoffs, especially after signing Jalen Brunson to a four-year, $104 million contract in free agency. But so far this season, things have been far from perfect. The team is just 5-5, tied with the Indiana Pacers […]

In a clash against old rivals Trae Young and the Atlanta Hawks, the New York Knicks appeared likely to take home a much-needed victory had they sustained their first-half performance. With 6:59 to go in the second quarter, the Knicks took a 51-28 lead after an RJ Barrett triple, and the raucous crowd in Madison […]

The New York Knicks had a big offseason after a disappointing 2021-22 campaign. Through two games so far this season, it’s looking like some of the changes the Knicks made could pay off in a big way throughout the season. It’s admittedly only a two game season, but getting our first look at how all […]

The 2022-23 NBA season is here, which means it’s time to make our wagers on NBA over/under wins for the season. When looking at this season’s NBA odds, one of the most interesting bets is the New York Knicks over/under wins total. The team made some franchise-altering moves this offseason, like giving RJ Barrett a […]

One of the teams under the most pressure in 2022-23 is certainly the New York Knicks. After a long-awaited playoff appearance in 2020-21, fans expected an improvement in 2021-22. However, things did not go as planned. The Knicks went just 37-45, finishing 11th in the Eastern Conference. Part of it was due to New York’s […]

The New York Knicks 2022-23 season begins against Memphis Grizzlies on October 19. As one of the most important teams in the NBA, there is no shortage of Knicks predictions for the 2022-23 NBA season, so here are our bold Knicks 2022-23 season predictions. The Knicks has an eventful offseason, although they didn’t make the splash […]

There aren’t a lot of expectations for the New York Knicks this season in a jam-packed Eastern Conference, especially after missing out on Donovan Mitchell, who ultimately got traded to the Utah Jazz. Pretty much nobody really likes the Knicks either, except for their massive fanbase. RJ Barrett has taken notice of that and plans […]

Derrick Rose was his usual, calm self sitting in front of the New York media earlier this week. His words for his Knicks teammates may not have been fiery in his tone, but they were in his message. D-Rose was vocal about the mindset that his teammates must adapt to next season, focusing on one […]

The 2021 – 22 NBA season did not go according to plan for the New York Knicks. After a surprise run to the playoffs, expectations in the Big Apple was high. Many expected the team to build off of that season and take baby steps to becoming a true contender again. Instead, the Knicks did […]

In the 2020-21 NBA season, Tom Thibodeau led the New York Knicks to the playoffs for the first time in eight seasons. In the 2021-22 season, though, the Knicks couldn’t replicate that magic, finishing 37-45 and 11th in the Eastern Conference. Heading into Year 3 of the “Tibs” Era, the team’s roster looks largely the […]

If there’s anyone who knows what it takes to succeed under the bright lights of New York, it’s former New York Knicks coach Jeff Van Gundy. Van Gundy memorably coached the Knicks into an improbable run to the NBA Finals during the lockout-shortened season of 1999, where they promptly lost to the burgeoning San Antonio […]

To say that it has been an eventful offseason for the New York Knicks would be a complete understatement. After the high of acquiring Jalen Brunson as soon as the free agency opened, Knicks fans were dragged back down to earth after news of Donovan Mitchell’s blockbuster deal to the Cleveland Cavaliers broke. For his […]

The New York Knicks failed to obtain three-time All-Star Donovan Mitchell, much to their fans’ chagrin. That doesn’t mean, however, that the Knicks are done for the offseason. They can still certainly make a trade between now and the start of the 2022-23 NBA season. In fact, there may just be a couple of possible […]

The New York Knicks are in a dire state of heartbreak right now after missing out on trade target Donovan Mitchell, the ex-Utah Jazz face of the franchise. The epitome of so close, yet so far, the Knicks almost completed a deal with the Jazz that would have had RJ Barrett, the young lefty swingman […]

The New York Knicks dropped the ball on a Donovan Mitchell trade, leaving an entire fanbase frankly disappointed. But, this team still has some intriguing pieces that should help propel them to a bounce-back campaign in the 2022-23 NBA season. They signed Jalen Brunson to a massive deal, extended RJ Barrett, and there is hope […]

It’s no secret that Julius Randle struggled last season to replicate his 2020-21 form. That’s even led to some rumblings that he could possibly be traded this summer, but it’s more concrete than anything. That being said, there are two specific reasons teams are actually quite hesitant to try and make a move for the […]

The Los Angeles Lakers have Russell Westbrook under contract for one more season and fans aren’t exactly pleased about it. He struggled immensely in his debut campaign and evidently didn’t fit alongside LeBron James and Anthony Davis. Earlier in the summer, there were some trade talks surrounding the guard, with the Nets, Hornets, and even […]

According to recent reports, the New York Knicks and the Utah Jazz have re-engaged their trade talks for superstar Donovan Mitchell. At this point, however, the deal does not seem imminent. ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith appears to have a clear understanding as to why this is the case. According to Stephen A, his sources tell […]

New York Knicks fans are salivating right now as they await to see their $104 million man Jalen Brunson suit up for his new team. At this point, supporters will just need to settle for Brunson making his New York “debut” alongside teammates Julius Randle and Obi Toppin. A clip of Brunson making an appearance […]

If the New York Knicks pull off a trade for Donovan Mitchell, LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers may come in and engage them in trade talks for Julius Randle. At least that is what a “plugged-in” source has told NBA insider Marc Stein, who also noted that the Lakers would not have any […]

The New York Knicks struck fast in 2022 NBA free agency, stealing Jalen Brunson away from the Dallas Mavericks and nabbing Isaiah Hartenstein away from the Los Angeles Clippers. The Knicks also agreed to terms on a new deal with free agent center Mitchell Robinson. That’s three significant moves to start free agency. Brunson gives […]

With their recent string of moves, the New York Knicks have basically set the table and laid out the red carpet for the arrival of Jalen Brunson. All he has to do is sign the contract once the NBA free agency period opens. But what about the Knicks incumbent All-Star Julius Randle? Randle went from […]

New York Knicks forward Julius Randle had a rather shaky 2021-22 season, but by the looks of it, he’s gearing up well for a potential bounce-back campaign. On Twitter, a photo of Randle is going viral–and for good reason. The All-Star forward can be seen looking leaner and in better shape compared to the previous […]

The Portland Trail Blazers’ historic post-All-Star tanking efforts didn’t pay off the way Joe Cronin and company imagined. All Portland has to show for its 2-21 finish to the regular season is the seventh selection in the draft come June 23rd, a stark disappointment for a team that entered lottery night with the sixth-best odds […]

Overall, the Toronto Raptors had a successful season this year. After starting the campaign at 4-14, they were able to turn it around and secure the fifth seed in the Eastern Conference. Their 48-34 record and the great number of lengthy defenders made them a frightening postseason matchup. Even so, they were not enough of […]

The magical 2020-21 season for Julius Randle and the New York Knicks feels like ages ago at this point. Randle was a deadly offensive threat last season, providing both scoring and playmaking from the frontcourt position. The Knicks forward parlayed that into an All-Star season and a spot on an All-NBA team. What truly opened […]

The New York Knicks will wrap up their 2021-22 season with a home matchup against the Toronto Raptors. This is a season that New York fans hope to forget. Almost everything went wrong and the Knicks failed to make the playoffs despite somewhat lofty expectations. Knicks president of basketball operations Leon Rose gave a rare […]

It’s been a downright disappointing season for the New York Knicks after such a promising 2020-21. Currently in 12th place, they’re already out of contention for the play-in, which means it makes zero sense to keep playing their starters if not at 100% health. That being said, head coach Tom Thibodeau has ruled out Julius […]

Just when they thought they were in, he pulled them back out. Julius Randle played this trick on fans of the New York Knicks this season. He shined last season and led the Knicks to their first playoff berth. For an encore, he performed much worse, profanely told the fans to shut up and put up […]

The New York Knicks doubling down on their 2020-21 core has backfired horribly. They nabbed Kemba Walker and Evan Fournier in free agency and brought back their key bench pieces in the hopes that it would work out. Now, Walker is away from the team and those three reserves they brought back have been disappointing. […]

Julius Randle has been all out of sorts this season. So have the New York Knicks. Both parties have failed to live up to the lofty expectations they set last season. They both share the blame for it. Rumors surfaced about Randle requesting a trade from the Knicks and displaying bad body language to show […]
