Julius Randle when asked on if Jarrett Allen foul was dirty: Does it matter? My a** and elbow hurt, I'm ready to go
Steve Popper: Julius Randle when asked if he thought the Jarrett Allen flagrant was dirty: “Does it even matter at this point? I got, my a** hurts, my elbow hurts, and I’ve got to get ready to play for tomorrow. So it don’t matter at this point. I’m ready to go.”

@EJ_Stewart and I discuss the Knicks Game 2 loss in Cleveland…. Should Randle have been on the floor late in the 4th… How will NY bounce back in Game 3 … and, out in a Golden State, should Draymond Green have been suspended??

Was thinking the same thing as @JCMacriNBA, in terms of Thibs saying he kept Randle on the court late in the game because Randle asked to keep playing:

#Cavs J.B. Bickerstaff on Jarrett Allen’s late foul: “It was a contest of a dunk. If you’re going to get a steal, and they kept playing hard, they kept running through passing lanes, why would one team play hard and the other one not? There was nothing dirty about the play.” – 11:43 PM

Tom Thibodeau was asked what the thinking was in having Julius Randle on the floor down 20 late in 4th when Randle went down hard after a Jarrett Allen foul. Thibodeau said he was going to sub Randle out a few possessions earlier but Randle had asked to stay in to get more rhythm – 10:25 PM

Refs rule that Jarrett Allen committed a Flagrant 1 when he contested a Julius Randle dunk on a fast break, which caused Randle to land hard on his back. Randle’s in discomfort, upset with Allen and has words for JB Bickerstaff. His dunk & FT cut Cavs lead to 20 w/2 min to play. – 9:55 PM

Just watched #Cavs & #Knicks Game 1 again. There were 4 plays from Julius Randle that could’ve been viewed as crossing the line of usual playoff physicality. Wouldn’t be surprised if Cavs submitted them to NBA to make them aware. Three elbows. And a foot to Cedi Osman’s head – 11:38 PM

More on this storyline
Fred Katz: Julius Randle was nothing short of giddy doing media today. Said he’s having more fun playing ball now than ever before in his career. “My mental is just in a great place,” he said. Says of the playoffs, “I just enjoy it. I enjoy the challenge. I look forward to it. I’m excited.” -via Twitter @FredKatz / April 20, 2023
New York Knicks star Julius Randle took issue with contact he received from Cavaliers center Jarrett Allen late in the fourth quarter of Game 2 of the teams’ first-round series Tuesday night in Cleveland. With the Knicks down by 23, Randle went in for a breakaway dunk and was hit by Allen, causing New York’s All-Star forward to fall awkwardly out of bounds. Randle was upset by the contact and exchanged words with several Cavs players and coach J.B. Bickerstaff. “I thought it was a little unnecessary … typically when you make those kind of plays, you run across their body, not through them,” Randle said. “But it’s fine, it’s irrelevant. We get to go back to the Garden and we’ll see them there.” -via ESPN / April 19, 2023
Allen was called for a flagrant foul, which Bickerstaff felt was undeserved. “They kept playing hard. They kept running through passing lanes. Why would one team play hard and not the other?” he said. “There was nothing dirty about the play. It wasn’t a flagrant foul. He contested a shot at the rim. It’s that simple.” Randle scored 22 points in the 107-90 loss, which tied the series at 1. It was his second game since returning from a left ankle sprain that had sidelined him since March 29. -via ESPN / April 19, 2023
Danny Cunningham: #Cavs big man Jarrett Allen on the team’s mindset today: “Today, I wouldn’t say it was a looser practice, but we weren’t so bogged down by the loss of three days ago. We came in here and ready for tomorrow, ready for another chance at the New York Knicks.” -via Twitter @RealDCunningham / April 17, 2023
