Thibs is ruining his own reputation by having a double standard. One for Randle, one for the rest of the team. Toppin plays an average of 17-18 minutes a game despite have a double digit plus/minus. On top of that, with Randle on the floor, the defense is bottom quarter in the league. Thibs was known for his defensive acumen, and that rep is sinking too.
Finally, Thibs is not being fair to Knick fans. It cost a small fortune to go to a game and all Thibs has done by pandering to Randle is to force Knick fans to watch horrible basketball and hope that the second team can come on to the court to save the team.
Enough of this Thibs ! Treat Randle the same way he coaches ask the other players.
It will be very interesting to see how Thubs handles the rotation with Randle sidelined... And should Obi continue to play well with increased minutes - how Thibs handles the rotation once Randle is cleared to return
