Julius Randle and RJ Barrett have to regain mojo — and fast
NY Post
ATLANTA — The word was everywhere, all season long, start to finish, up and down the roster. Forget all the adjectives overheated Knicks fans emptied into their water-cooler conversations with each other. One word summed it all up: improvement.

And despite that, RJ Barrett was almost certainly the most-improved player on the team. That’s who the Knicks were. That’s what they were. They embraced it. They rode with it. They let it fuel them to that 41-31 record, to that No. 4 seed, to reinventing New York City as a basketball town again. It served them awfully well.
