The New York Knicks are facing a difficult road ahead after losing two of the first three games of their Eastern Conference Semifinal series against the Miami Heat. The Knicks need to address two major issues: coaching and Julius Randle's lack of consistency. The Knicks' head coach, Tom Thibodeau, must adapt and make in-game decisions quicker to keep up with Erik Spoelstra's Heat. On the other hand, Randle must focus on playing within the team's system and avoid taking ill-advised shots. His questionable shot selection and inconsistency have been significant issues for the Knicks throughout the series.

The team must rely on better shot selection and execution, especially in the second quarter, where they've struggled the most. Players like sixth man Immanuel Quickley, who is doubtful for the next game, need to play better if they're healthy enough to suit up. The Knicks need a more disciplined approach from the coaching staff and players if they want to regain their footing and take back homecourt advantage in South Beach. Addressing these issues could help the Knicks turn this series around and avoid elimination in the Eastern Conference Semifinals.
