Tom Thibodeau sounds like he’s out of excuses for Julius Randle’s Knicks slump
nypost.com
It wasn’t a scolding from Tom Thibodeau. Rather, an animated pep talk through the postgame presser. And though the coach refrained from naming Julius Randle, the questions were about the All-Star, …

This article was written after the Bucks game and mentions clearly the steps that Randle had needed to take to improve. Ironically no mention of any injury affecting Randle.

    We gotta get out of this black and white approach. Nuance exists. It is possible that Randle’s poor play in the first couple games was a combination of 1) His ankle not being 100% and him trying to regain his rhythm AND 2) Randle made several mistakes on the court and his decision-making wasn’t the best.

    I think the criticisms listed in the article is fair, but none of it negates the fact that his ankle is probably part of the reason why he struggled out the gates.

    I find nothing wrong with the article tho.
