Donte and Randle combining for only 10 more points than KAT is wild

Randle was awful tonight. Some of it rust... some of it his usual laziness. The lowlight videos will be crazy. Wolves fans already calling for him to be traded.

Divo wasn't good tonight, either.

Had to take a look at Minnys Reddit Board and they had some of the funniest in-game spot on takes about Julius

“Randle is sucking the energy out of the game”
“Randles effort has been atrocious”
“Randle sets the worst screens ever”
“Randle is literally jogging”
“Does Julius ever box out”
“Randle looks like he doesn’t enjoy playing”
“I don’t like seeing Randle on this team”
“Pray we ship him off at deadline I hate his effort”
“I’ve had one game of Randle and I don’t want to be exposed to anymore”

This one has got to be the Holy Grail :lol:

Nah man, those are the exact people whose opinions mean nothing.

They probably draft Darko over DWade

You wonder if Adam Silver orchestrated the Randle/KAT trade to make it easier for Lebron to win his last NBA title.

Wolves and Knicks managed to pull off that trade that makes both teams worse.

Pretty impressed with Leon. He did that after outdoing the Eddy Curry trade with the Mikal Bridges trade.

Isiah Thomas must be back as an advisor.

Vangundy talked about this last night. He said Randle gives zero effort defensively and boxing out. Ouch.

Not a surprise in the short term. Both teams have to acclimate to new players. Both teams will need time to gel.

We lucked out having the Wolves play right after our blowout. Not too many Knick fans saying they wanted Randle and Divo back last night :lol:

Wandle was terrible last night. Definitely cost them that game. DDV wasn't great, either. I'm sure both will do better over time.

Still... glad to have KAT over Randle. I'll repeat what I've said over the years... no team with Randle playing 30+ minutes will ever come close to winning a title.

Wolves fans gon' learn real fast. :rofl:

Zero effort, space cadet on defense. On offense, a serial ball-movement killer.
