Steve Kerr needs to put it together hold some accountability. This is the fifth noticeable clutch "accident" with them in the last 10 months - Christmas' Eve vs Nuggets and too many "free throws given"(lost in final possession), vs Clippers and unnecessary foul by Klay(lost in final minute), flopping complains about Jokic (up by 20 in the fourth to lose by half court buzzer beater :lol: ), Braun's tech 2 weeks ago for not having timeout and now against Rockets too. They were legitimate complains I get it but in every single of the aforementioned occasions theyve been choking huge leads.

Julius Randle in 35 minutes of action action against that terrible Lakers team.

7-16 FG
0-5 3PT
5 REB
2 TO
0 BLK

As usual, a lazy, selfish chucker. Big for no reason since he's soft on the boards.

Ant man, Jaden, and that great supporting cast has to carry Randle every night as he holds the team back from reaching their full potential. They can't wait to dump him.

Knicks have a better record than the Wolves who were in the WCF last year. Sorry Wolves no trade backs!!

Don’t mind me, just making sure this hits the next page. Glad to see Randle playing well. Should’ve ran it back with him.

Make sure you add context as well.
5-1 record with the #1 defensive ranking in the league

Wins > individual stats.

Deflect much? We went 11-1 with our core once we got rid of RJ Barretikina. Now we got rid of our 2nd best player and we're 15-10. Sad to see we took many steps back and traded for Bargnani 2.0.

We have a better record than we did with Randle though. Minny is way worse than they were. We went 10-3 with this squad already if you want to swap meaningless numbers like you do. We have a much better offense. Our problems on defense are the fact that we lost BOTH of our centers this summer. Randle was not our second best player. Jalen/Shart/OG had more impact on winning and Randle missed half the season.

The only stats and facts that matter in this discussion however? Randle played like shyt and the team won in spite of him. Lucky they were playing a trash ass Lakers team huh? You in here trying to rep Randle like a stud when he played like complete RJ! :rofl:

BE BETTER BRO!
