RJ Barrett takes exception to ‘reasonable’ Knicks playoff goal
NY Post
The Knicks won 21 games last season after posting just 17 the previous year, a combined total of 38 they have a chance to match or surpass during their 2020-21 rebirth under first-year coach Tom Thibodeau.
They clearly have exceeded outside expectations as the No. 4 team in the Eastern Conference with 10 games remaining, despite their nine-game win streak ending with Monday’s tough loss to the Suns at the Garden. While acknowledging the need for the Knicks (34-28) to get back into the win column in Wednesday’s homestand finale against the Bulls, RJ Barrett dismissed any suggestion that a “reasonable” goal before the season was simply to qualify for the playoffs for the first time since 2013.
Just to get the formalities out of the way, Juan Soto officially declined the qualifying offer by Tuesday’s deadline.
