Kolek statement game incoming

In other news TWolves fans have already had enough of Randle. I thought it would take at least till all-star game before Randle showed his true side.

That's bologna. A loud person isn't an accurate depiction of T-Wolves fans and Randle right now. T-Wolves fan aren't NYK fans. They are far more patient and despite early season success, there are still some gelling and conditioning that needs to happen with Randle (and Divo with gelling). Hell, the last 20 comments on that tweet lean more towards Randle support than against. If anyone thinks this Randle is a final product, they don't know basketball.

Randle isn't going to change. He's as finished as they get. He's finished here which is all that matters. Good riddance.

Who's asking him to change? T-Wolves aren't asking for that. All I'm saying is that he'll return to form. I don't know why (oh, but I do) gelling is an excusable defense for KAT, but not Randle.

Everytime I see brunsons stats I'm confused because my eyes aren't seeing him play that well or maybe my expectations are off. Cause to me he has been struggling some. But his numbers say he is playing pretty similar. Maybe i was just expecting him to take a leap with the space. And who knows it might happen. Kinda think it needs to for us to truly contend.

Maybe he's been streakier. It feels like he goes on little mini-runs of his own.

Are you refuting everyone of their points? I mean Randle only plays defense when he wants to. When hes not scoring his body language is garbage. He does have several lapses where he doesn't make any effort in transition. How many times have we seen him run into double teams and force things which lead to TO's? I mean they are all valid points and his stats this season point to him having a rocky start so I can imagine many T-Wolves fans are a little concerned/furious with him and the overall trade in general.

I'm refuting that you're saying "TWolves fans have already had enough of Randle" when you're quoting a Knicks tweet from a T-Wolves disgruntle fan. They're not a fickle as NYK fans are and are not going to go from kissing his ass last week after being 6-3 and dogging him because 2 straight loses. It's such an ass pull. There is more support for Randle then not in Minnesota. In fact, the fanbase has more of an issue with Finch's adjustments then they do with Randle.

It's prolly that or I've let green arrow lead me astray.

I know what you mean though. There are sequences where it's like "what is he doing" but the stats don't really show it.

He had some of those "what is he doing" moments last year, too. Its early in the season. And it's honestly nice that his numbers are good and that's him "struggling". He is still getting used to this team. I don't think its unreasonable for us to expect him to take his game to another level.

You may be right on the percentages for now (more support than not), but acting like this is just one loud fan and everyone else is supportive is just factually incorrect. This is the thread that post came from last night, and the most up-voted comments are the ones calling Randle lazy, a black hole not worthy of rooting for, and wishing the trade had never happened.

Has to be a result of trying to balance scoring with getting KAT, Bridges and OG more involved. Hell, even Hart.

Its still early to fully judge but most guys who have come here last 4 years have an UPTICK in performance while the ones who leave seem to have a downtick in performance.
