After losing three straight games its hard not to notice every small detail to the reasons why we're losing, but one that I believe has gone unnoticed is the lack of playing time for Anthony Randolph. Boston we didn't necessarily need him, Miami we needed some sort of spark in the second half, and in Cleveland Amare looked tired and in pain.
The Knicks are looking to acquire some outside help in the back court (Telfair), but the problems don't stop there. Amare is becoming spent, Turiaf still recovering while playing, andh Mozgov's slow learning it may be time to get Randolph some steady minutes in these next few games. According to reports he has been doing and saying all of the right things, he's has way to much talent to just spend his days on the DNP list every night. The emergence of Shawne Williams play has halted others playing time but we showed in the last few games that we need another force down low besides Ronny.
Yesterday's game(Cleveland 12/19) the Knicks had 4 of the 5 starters played 40 minutes or more, versus Boston the same this cannot continue, Chandler needs a break, Amare, etc. A total of 102 minutes for AR thus far for his talents is unacceptable.
