My league pass isn't working except for listening. Sucks. Will Rudy be worth 36 mill a year the three years after this? We would have had to pay him 46 next year without the extension so it's more like 32 mill a year for the 2 extra years. Iffy. I hope it works out.

What is Julius Randle doing out there? He has no effort. Is that his MO?

This is the version of Julius Randle I absolutely did not want on my favorite team.

Pretty depressing game, even if kind of expected.

That's why he should have been traded to Detroit.

Randle's defensive effort and awareness are just abysmal. I think I'd rather see Josh Minott at this point.

Bring RD out Finch

Naz shot 40% last year and it wasn't good enough for you?

I am talking how the team shooting 3s the first half. Naz does suck so far in today's game

The Lakers can't hit the broadside of a barn all game long and we are getting our butts kicked simply because of the huge gap in effort and urgency between the 2 teams.

I would play Minott at this point

Not ONE SINGLE MINUTE for any of the young guns tonight. Finch grow a pair and give them some run.

Back within 9. We can win. Let's do it.

Rudy 2-2 trip. But we can't get a stop now. Come on.

Very concerned about Rudy having to rest. Game might get away, at that point.

But everyone said Garza would be great as a backup 5, and we had plenty of size....

Honestly I kinda expected a lot of rust and maybe an L in the first game.
But the lack of urgency and awareness out there is disturbing.

Randle air balls an 8 foot shot

TC should have just blown the team up when he traded KAT for a player who wont be staying and not getting back a C to replace Rudy.

TimberKat · Post #119 » by **TimberKat** » Wed Oct 23, 2024 3:49 am

I feel like we really missed Towns defensive presence :-?

I've liked some of the DD/Rudy synergy I've seen. For being so new to one another they seem to have pretty good feel.
