Bully Ball: Julius Randle Taught This Nerd Fair And Square Not To Shove A Laptop In His Face During A Game
Here we go again. I basically feel like this overused scene from The Office when it comes to Julius Randle this season.
Except it's consistently at zero. This time it's this video that's going viral today from Saturday's game. Another game the Knicks blew and Julius Randle drama is here. But here's the thing. Clearly something was wrong. Why the hell is there laptop on the bench? It's 2022, doesn't everyone use a tablet there? You don't shove a laptop in a guy's face after the first quarter. You can even tell Kenny Payne is baffled. I'm sure it was all over Randle's bad shot selection late in the quarter. Hey man, it's what we're used to at this point.
Has Julius Randle been a disappointment so far this season? Of course. But you gotta know who you're dealing with here. That's why I blame the video coordinator. Can't be throwing laptops in a guy's face. You gotta go up to him on the bench and talk to him first. Maybe he showed him something not even game related. Anyone think of that? Perhaps he's pissed that Randle doesn't follow him on Twitter or something. I'm not ruling anything past nerds with computers.
Sure would have been nice to win that game. Can we do the winning thing again? That was fun.
