After contributing just 14.6 points per game on 13-54 shooting (24 percent) across the first three games of New York’s first round series against Atlanta, struggling Knicks forward Julius Randle at least managed 23 points today
But it still came on just 7-19 shooting (36 percent) and was accompanied by five turnovers and a flagrant foul to top off what has been a nightmare series for the winner of the NBA’s Most Improved Player Award.
NBA Twitter clowned Randle especially hard today as the Knicks went down 3-1 in the series.

RJ Barrett & Julius Randle have played so bad that they’ve literally unintentionally forced D-Rose to enter back into his prime in order for them to even have a chance to win… This shit is crazy…
