Julius Randle criticizes officiating after loss against Clippers
Fred Katz: Julius Randle, not thrilled with officiating today. Asked what he was unhappy with, he said “All you gotta do is watch the game.” When asked about the refs having a no-blood, no-foul approach, he said “Oh, there was fucking blood.”

Officiating was a major topic after Wednesday’s Raptors game, with FVV getting a tech and donating $30K afterwards.
Momentum in tonight’s game shifted after Julius Randle’s LBF/tech gifted LA 3 points end of 3rd.
It’s another reminder for Tyronn Lue’s team to stay poised. pic.twitter.com/MvaKog42Wm – 8:16 PM

Asked Randle if it was a “no-blood-no-foul” mentality today, he said, “Oh, there was f**king blood out there for sure. I ain’t rolling with that. There was blood out there, for sure.” – 7:34 PM

And Randle shooting 5-of-18 is no where near the biggest problem today.
NY was about to head into the 4th quarter with the lead. Instead, Randle throws an elbow at Plumlee’s face with 0.3 seconds left. After the tech and two more FT’s, Knicks are down 2
Sparks a 14-4 run for LA – 6:31 PM

And then Randle throws a temper tantrum on the sideline, exploding at teammates and coaches and security personal.
Randle then pouts at the end of the bench for the first 6 mins of the 4th quarter. – 6:31 PM

LA allowed 35.6% FGs to Knicks today.
Only LA opponent this year to shoot worse from field: Lakers in October (35.1%)
Julius Randle: 19 points, 5/24 FGs. – 6:29 PM

Julius Randle has played phenomenally well most of the season. Much of his turnaround has been correctly attributed to his improved mental approach
That said, this loss today in LA is on him. Randle should apologize to each of his teammates, who continue to play their hearts out – 6:25 PM

Everything Randle got going into halftime as far as momentum goes, he gave right back in that 3rd quarter, saving worst for last.
Brutal LBF/tech sequence gives LA 76-74 lead going into final quarter of play.
Leonard woke up, scoring 19 of his game-high 29 points in 3rd. – 5:49 PM

Julius Randle is in foul trouble. He’s also 1/11 FGs inside the arc, 3/19 overall. He has been frustrated.
Knicks have benefitted from refs not really calling fouls on either team, but he was extra after Mann miss and now we have a Billy Kennedy review. – 5:45 PM

Fouling Randle allowed him to end nasty first half on good note for him AND Knicks, who now lead 49-47 at halftime.
The streak of prohibiting 30 points in a quarter snaps at 6 for Clippers. LA held to only 5 FT attempts in 1st half, and they missed 4 of them. – 5:08 PM

Knicks bench (and normal bench guy Quickley) keeping them afloat, somehow up two at halftime with Randle 2-for-11, Barrett 1-for-4. Grimes and Quickley playing well, along with bench players – Hart, Hartenstein, Obi. – 5:06 PM

Randle started this game missing 9 of first 10 before his first FT attempts.
Let’s see how the stripe influences his turnaround (he split the pair) – 5:03 PM

One of those days — Josh Hart with the pass ahead to Randle and Paul George blocks him from behind and he’s now 1-for-8. – 4:56 PM

LA off to 8-2 start over Knicks. Thibs timeout 3.5 minutes in.
Barrett got eaten up by Kawhi at MSG, so Randle is taking that matchup on to start. Kawhi missed first two, but then got in Randle chest in paint.
Morris: 2 3s already. He was 2/17 3s in previous 6 games. – 4:17 PM

Knicks starting Immanuel Quickley in place of Jalen Brunson to go with Quentin Grimes, RJ Barrett, Julius Randle, Mitchell Robinson. That was a good lineup in Sacramento, esp. with Grimes getting hot.
Usual LA starters (Westbrook, George, Leonard, Morris, Zubac) – 3:34 PM

With Mitchell with 25 at half, the Heat opponent high this season is 49 by Jayson Tatum. Knicks’ Randle had 43 points against Heat earlier in this homestand. – 9:21 PM

More on this storyline
Steve Popper: Randle opted not to go the Vanvleet route — asked if he felt it was something personal with the officials today, he said, ” I actually like the officials. Billy (Kennedy), Tom (Washington), the other guy whatever his name is (Brandon Adair), I actually like ’em.” -via Twitter @StevePopper / March 11, 2023
Fred Katz: Randle also said he was “bad” today, independent of officiating. Also said he was going after an official on the bench when they were holding him back, not anyone on the team. -via Twitter @FredKatz / March 11, 2023
Stefan Bondy: Julius Randle now leads the NBA in total minutes. Asked by reporters if he’d consider resting Randle, Thibodeau said, “You can give them a day off. And you can give them a day off when they’re not playing too. There are different ways to give days off.” -via Twitter @SBondyNYDN / March 11, 2023
