Golden State Warriors Draymond Green spoke about the Knicks and Julius Randle‘s struggles:
“It would be interesting to see if Julius Randle returns for Game 2,” Green said on his podcast The Volume shortly after he eliminated the Sacramento Kings.
Before Green and the Warriors beat the Kings in the anti-climactic end to their grueling series, the Randle-less Knicks fell to the Miami Heat 108-101 in Game 1 of their Eastern Conference Semifinals series.
“You definitely don’t want to get off 0-2 headed for South Beach,” Green added. “I think with them losing 0-1—Randle was pulling on Sunday —he’ll be out there in Game 2. But he’s lost sometime these last few weeks, and the pace and everything start to come into play, conditioning, adapting because now they have to enter it. It’s not like you’re just attacking someone. Julius has a lot of the ball in that attack, so the boys have to find their spots and where to shoot. So, there are a lot of moving parts in that series.”
