Lots of defense being played in that game....

If you call everyone who thinks Obi sucks a Randle fan, you’re gonna be calling 90% of this board a Randle fan.

There’s enough hate in us for both nepotism Obi and Randle.

Seriously, y’all are underestimating just how much Leon Rose helped nepotism Obi by drafting him. The least he could have done to repay Leon was to start trying on defense. Now they both look like fools.

Who is Leon's son representing in the upcoming draft? When I find that out, I'll know who the Knicks are drafting.

In the meantime, will have to settle for Jacob Toppin Westchester Knick highlights.

Another coach, one who has won a championship, realized after 12 games he isn’t a starting caliber player and benched him, I said for years he is a bench player and he was already in a perfect role that he belongs in, the role of bench energy guy. Thibs was using him exactly how he should have and exactly how the pacers are now doing. Hiding him from the best power forwards in the nba. Now when they play the Knicks he won’t have to get demolished by Randle. Lucky you

He played 34 minutes second to Haliburton 37 and closed the game with 6pt and 5 assist in the 4th.

Dude's a great second option when he's even fit to play but he's not the guy, never has been, and never will be.

you turn hating into an art. im a fan

That Bubble Championship was on AD...Lebron was along for the ride.

that is not true. but shooting 37.8% from the field in the first 14 games after shooting 37.4% in 10 playoff games is different story tho.

Random stat - he had 135 pts produced (his own points & the points generated off his assists) with zero turnovers in his back to back games vs PHI earlier in the year. That's the most points ever produced with zero turnovers in a 2 game span since the turnover stat has been tracked

It's impressive AF but who TF at ESPN is spending time looking up these random scenarios :lol:

When did Randle have a 32/12/8 game this season? That's one helluva game I'd love to rewatch the highlights

Then pick one from any of the last few years. He's had games in the ballpark. Yet he's an awful villain.

Obi fits well with that Pacers team. Evan Fournier should also be in the rotation over there too; does not need to play any defense, can chuck threes all game.
