So many good things happened on this game.
Got to give Deuce some shout out too. Came in. Played ferocious defense and hit his one shot.

Now that I got to think about the game some, Thibs benching Randle really is a revelation. This is something big.

And RJ, man that dude came to play. He had so many good moments but one stuck to me was that sweet-sweet fadeaway on the baseline. That was beautiful.

Off for 2 weeks

Randle again playing like crap: "oh he's been sitting for 2 weeks. He just needs to regain his conditioning"

When is the management gonna realize this man is not it. I hope some point in these playoffs he proves me wrong but his overall demeanor is killing the positive vibes out there. He needs to be seen the door this summer.

Thibs always has excuses for Randle. Has never once criticized him even at his absolute worst. Now it’s that he’s coming back from
Injury when everyone player has injuries in the playoffs.

This BS that he is fighting to play is just that - BS. If it’s as bad as you say then don’t play. He hasn’t produced anything positive so what’s the purpose of having him out there? We’re going to act like he’s pulling a Willis Reed and helping us? At least Willis knocked down 2 open jumpers.


Truth! I like Julius this year as he turned a leaf, but if he is hurt that bad then don‘t play.

WE WOULD HAVE LOST THIS GAME.

Bisme's good people but they shoulda locked with the poll intact and made a new one in the new thread. He wouldn't play that game but I don't know if he changed the poll.


I would say bisme ranks just after the ads on this site in terms of value.

Randle, RJ and IQ from downtown: 0-12 and 1-16 if Hart included!!

These games could have been a massacre if our shots would fall at normal rate from beyond the arc

Gotta give Thibs a ton credit for that I thought for sure he would put him back in

He is a net plus and helps team ball while Julius is a net negative AND CAN‘T LIFT HIS DAMN ARMS ON DEFENSE (of a guard!)

Mitchell is a great player - but he ain't so great that you give up what Ainge was asking for.

We could’ve used him.

Why would we have to give up a pick for an All NBA non max player?

He not great in the playoffs ? Losing Robinson to keep randle isn’t a good idea . Robinson going get paid ..

Robinson already got paid...did you miss the memo?

I'm okay with that. Then just keep his azz on the bench. If he wants to help us then cheer for Obi from the sidelines and support your team any way you can OFF THE COURT!!!. What we don't need is that ATL Julius Randle showing up anywhere in this series!

At this point it's now been 9 straight playoff games. I will be pleasantly surprised if we see it but I'm not expecting it.

It's a mental thing but it's crazy it effects his entire game. You think he would lock in on defense and rebound absolutely everything in site.

Glad thibs decided to stick with obi. His activity was key. Even his ability to show on screens when randle never moves his feet.

I feel like it’s the opposite. He’s straight bully ball and high IQ vs JR who at his best was skilled shooting and elite athleticism

Bisme's good people but they shoulda locked with the poll intact and made a new one in the new thread. He wouldn't play that game but I don't know if he changed the poll.

I'm pretty sure he did, cause he PM'd me saying he was the mod who did it.

I'll take your word on him being good people, I just don't really buy his reasoning, the GB has never changed those 'who ya got in the series' polls just because one of the results 'wasn't possible' anymore. That is the whole point of doing the poll before the series starts to try and get an unbiased consensus opinion from the GB on a series outcome.

with Mitch and our youngins ironically the least valuable player is Randle!! Or the more tradeble to be more fair!

Randle and Fournier along with all the picks we have can make us a real contenders for a decade
