Kobe calling Lin soft as charmin.. well damn.

Read on Twitter

Isn't this the time when Randle was in the back getting treatment and Kobe comes back there going off?

Yep it was

Watch on YouTube

Kobe was crazy man, but i think he was trying to push these guys in his own way. If anyone there didn't get mad and start playing harder/smarter, they proved his point.

I don't know why, but I think this is the most savage anti-Westbrook thing I have ever seen. And I'm sure there's worse, but wow.

Randle at the 5 is the move

I just worry about him getting banged up having to go against 5s.

Do think however that the team should definitely have an OG, Randle, Mikal, Donte, and Brunson line up getting regular minutes together.

I don't see the concern, he's bigger/stronger than Siakam who has spent a ton of time at the 5 the last 3 seasons. He was even starting full-time at center before they traded for Powell.


We have all the ingredients to play 5 out, it's up to the coach to do it.

Poeltl not Powell. Before getting Poeltl the Raptors were starting Siakam OG and Scottie Barnes in the frontcourt and they were kind of flexible as to who was center. Then bring Khem Birch or the rookie Koloko in as backup C. It was an awful attempt at small ball because there wasn't enough three point shooting. Also I don't think any of the 3 forwards liked playing C against really big guys. I'm not sure OG would like it now, if say Mitch was hurt. Precious and Sims can fill in as backup C but we really still need a true C in the rotation spelling Mitch

RIP Al Attles. Close friend of Wilt. One of the toughest fighters in the 60s NBA. Coached Rick Barry and GSW to a sweep of the Bullets in the 75 Finals. Lifetime Warriors guy in Philly then San Francisco.

Autocorrect didn't respect Poeltl and I didn't notice it till after, not that I respect him much either.






Playing Randle at the 5 is something they should do in spurts, it's the only way to get all 3 of the wings (Bridges, Hart, OG) on the floor at the same time which I think is part of the plan. It's the best way to maximize what Randle is on offense, and would give us a true 5 out offense.

It couldn’t have been a Halliburton fan, he’s too scared of contact to high five anybody.

Lamelo career ts% : 54.9
Randle career ts : 55.7

Teams that Lamelo has played on with a top 10 defense: 0

Randle’s teams: 3


Lamelo’s playoffs appearances: 0
Randle: 2 (would’ve been 3)

Are you sure Lamelo isn’t just a souped up Michael Carter Williams?

[SelbyCobra]

I'm no Melo defender - neither the Ball nor the Belly - but those efficiency numbers look really bad for Randle when you consider you're comparing a finesse PG and a bully ball PF. Here is what the league did last year.

[Wildcat]

Why yes, I too prefer to compare 2 vastly different players from one another.
