Here We Go Again: It Only Took 7 Games For Julius Randle To Look Like An Asshole, Plus We Have People Around Mitchell Robinson Whining

I've spent a lot of time defending Julius Randle, but, uh, what the fuck is this man? I know he sucks to start the season. He can't get anything going, he's forcing shots trying to get into a rhythm. Fine. That's part of the game. But this? This is as embarrassing as it gets. Game on the line and you just straight up don't play defense? You can't be mad at Jalen Brunson during this game. Brunson was basically the only Knick to do anything on offense. It was him and Quickley that helped keep the Knicks in the game and give them a chance to win. 

There's no other way around it. This can't happen. I don't care if you're 0-for-20 in a game. You get a chance to get a stop and win the game, that's the only thing that matters. Especially in the fucking in-season tournament! Everyone knows the in-season tournament is as important as important gets. In all seriousness, just rebrand it the Maui Invitational and people don't lose their mind about what the hell is going on in this thing. 

Now if that's not enough, we have our annual thing of Mitchell Robinson whining: 

Previous examples include: 

And now we have his trainer complaining about it. Man, just realize you're there for defense, rebounding and the 5th option on offense. You can't make free throws. Your best offense is getting a rebound and putting it back. It's all part of, you know, being on a team. I'm so goddamn sick of Mitchell Robinson and those around him whining about getting looks. It's every year with this guy having some sort of meltdown on Twitter. I don't care if this is your trainer, text him to shut the fuck up. 

We're only seven games into the season. Yeah, it's early. But I need Julius Randle to cut this shit out. I need Mitchell Robinson to cut this shit out. And most importantly, I need to win some damn games.
