everyone thinks it'll be ant x randle that clash heads


maybe it'll be gobert x randle bc randle plays with 0 effort on defense leading to multiple posters on top of gobert

Randle is such a stat padding losing player.

Thibs MADE Randle into a useful player.

Without Thibs, just an Empty stats loser who hates defense.

He looks even more putrid on defense than before.

Shocking how bad he is (only shocking because he could play better, but he just DGAF; not shocking because we already expect this lack of effort from him)

all the moping around and standing while watching really sticks out now doesnt it


When you see it on another team the normal response is that guy sucks, what a loser. When he's on your team, you're always hoping for the best and trying to balance the negatives with the positives, i.e. "Randle is a great bully ball player on offense even if he is abysmal on defense."

But seeing it now when I don't have to give a chit that he's a Knick I just feel disgust for his lazy defense.

Minnesota fans will also soon realize the difference between


a player that sucks on defense but not bc of effort or bbiq

and

a player that sucks on defense because of effort and bbiq

i'd put money on gogurt trying to confront randle on his defensive deficiencies then randle snapping back which leads to them blowing up before an ant situation.

Ant can't even get into an offensive rhythm with that ball-stopper killing the spacing. Sad.

Wolves are cooked.

Even if KAT can be a bonehead on defense and commit some stupid fouls, he's already shown himself to be more useful on defense than Randle. Not only does he give effort, but he can play defense well enough to actually help us.

Naz should start


bc randle cant shoot threes


teh spacing is already bad with gobert.



bring randle off the bench and give him the green light to iso ball.


doubt they do it, but thats the lineup that makes sense

he is, but toronto is a much better team without him. they just beat boston with their starters playing 30 mins. addition by subtraction. eventually toronto will trade him

if randle is passing up threes, which he did multiple times today


in favor of bully ball and putting more wear and tear on his body


we 100% made the right decision on him
