Julius Randle Blasts Refs After Knicks vs. Clippers Game

The New York Knicks fell to the LA Clippers on Saturday afternoon, and Julius Randle was very upset with the refs after the game:

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.”

Randle added that his individual performance was bad regardless of the officiating, but was particularly upset about a technical foul he received. It was an overall bad game for Randle, who went 5/24 from the field.

Knicks head coach Tom Thibodeau also shared his thoughts on the officiating, and particularly the play when Julius Randle received a technical foul:

"I want to look at the replay. I know they were tangled up and there was a lot going on prior to that. Sometimes that ends up being a byproduct of all the other stuff. Like I said, I don’t have a problem how a game is being called as long as there is a consistency to it. If we’re calling it tight, call it tight. If we’re calling it loose, call it loose. Just make sure it’s the same for both teams. That’s probably the biggest thing. I don’t want to put it on them, but we played really well in the first half and I thought for the most part played well in the third quarter. I didn’t like the way we started the fourth and right now our margin of error is small. We have to play with great intensity throughout. We have to understand the intensity of the fourth quarter is different. So be ready to handle that."

Randle and the Knicks could not get anything going offensively, and fell to a Clippers team that has now won three-straight.
