As someone that didn't like Randle (personality and gamewise) let me go on record saying that Randle's playoff criticism has been widely overblown. I see him playing a very solid series. Something like at least:

18+points
9+rebounds
4+assists
47+%
33+% from 3

He won't be like sensational, but roughly were he has been in the regular season.....

I’m excited to see him healthy for the first time in the post season since 2021. And he has some talent around him this time as well

Loved Davion’s game in college. He had Coby white in hell.

Heat are an interesting matchup for the Cavs. Heat have size to match up with the Cavs. The difference really is just that the Heat don't have anyone as good as Spida nor Garland.

Hopefully the Heat injure a few Cavs players, since that is the Heat MO

Shame the Knicks decided to copy this model

Scott Perry could end up back in Sacto. And the world goes round.

To be clear, I didn't watch. I just have knowledge of the situation and the situation is that their defense sucks.

Yeah, the Kings can't guard anyone.

Maybe we can snatch LaVine for these losers Mikalikina and Hart. Then trade this career loser Towns for KD and try to make the playoffs … uhhh…. win a championship!

Lavine had 20 points and 9 assists. Meanwhile your guy Sabonis had 11 points on 36% FG and was a -26 which was the worst on his team. So I’m not sure why you’re talking

I don’t think I need to explain.

LaVine was -80 with the Kings for the season, both of Sabonis and DeMar were + on the season with the Kings, while only Alex Len had a worse total +/- than him. Somehow LaVine in only 32 games with them had a worse total +/- than Trey Lyles who played 70 games with them. The Kings were 14-18 with him, the Bulls were 18-24 when they traded him and went 21-19 right after they traded him.

The definition of an empty calorie loser.

Yeah you need to explain why your boy is an empty stat player that chokes in every big game.

I have no idea what they were thinking with this team, nothing about it makes sense from a floor balance standpoint. Like, the gm should have been fired just for signing DeMar with Fox already on the team, how can you look at Sabonis' game and think that you need DeMar added to it. Then the LaVine trade, why?

DeMar DeFrozen has been doing this his whole career. I'm so glad the Knicks never entertained signing him. Well...he'd actually be a good sixth man for us.

He makes too much to be a 6th man, it's why teams always have to start him, plus he doesn't strike me as the type that would be good with coming off the bench.

Scott Perry officially back to the Kings.

Yep, I can’t blame him for going for the money too. I don’t think teams can win it all with him in that role.

Even though he was a bit of a mixed bag for us, I think he’ll help the kings

I agree. Especially if they're looking to tear down. A "voice of reason" guy can only help that insane franchise.

With Perry on the Kings, I would offer Dadiet for Keegan Murray
