Interesting. You mean to tell me Julius Ran_le is the same losing player He's always been when He's not facing the play-in warriors without Steph Curry, or the geriatric LeBron and fat Luka Lakers?

Plays against a good team and folds like clean laundry.

Got benched the entire fourth quarter.

Start Naz!!! The only time the Timberwolves have beaten the Thunder was with Naz starting.

Justice for Naz!!!!

To be fair, he’s had some good numbers in game one, and I expect him to deliver some more. It is what it is though, the numbers don’t even tell the story, as he’s so terribly turnover-prone and seems to pay no attention to detail.

His turnovers from game 1 are what led to that Thunder run that blew the doors open.

And he played zero defense in game 1. The Thunder targeted him and scored almost 1/3 of their entire points against him and shot 64.7% against him.

His offense is useless if he's not even interested in attempting to play defense. Straight traffic cone.

Thought it rare and embarrassing their coach explaining he "wanted to get some quick decision-making" on the floor as the reason for the 4th quarter snub. Randle probably not feeling too good about being in MN now.

Still a nice player, but there’s no point in propping him up the way it’s been done nor for the reasons why it’s been done. Anyway, since this is never going to be resolved anyway, I’m really kinda over this nonsense and prefer focusing more on why our guys struggle against Indiana. Randle is not unlikable at all, Haliburton is, however. Can’t lose against these clowns. It would kinda hurt against Minnesota, but at least they’re a great, respectable team too.

Missed the game but it looks like Randle had his first poor shooting game of the post season. You can tell some of these guys are down bad because they’ve been quiet the whole time he played well and now they’re letting it all out finally :lol: yikes.

They should be more worried about KAT being an absolute cone against Indiana.

Randle was horrible and Ant was forcing shots. Looks like the Thunder are going to sweep.

I'm not a Randle guy but it's one game against an elite defensive team in a game where the whole team got dominated.

Seems eerily similar to some dudes waiting for Brunson to have a bad game so they can lash out at him.

Randle was quite good against the weaker teams (Lakers, GSW sans Curry)... but I had a feeling he'd fold under the stifling OKC defense.

He's still a good player and worth a decent contract. I'm just glad we're not the ones footing the bill.

KAT was +9

Mitch was 0

Karl had a big block and played good defense ... you're resorting to making up things, not a good sign about who's right and who's wrong. Making up stuff a sign of defeat

It’s nasty work. We even have people hating on OG too when he was great defensively on Tatum in the last round. Held Tatum to 5-17 FG.

I don’t buy it that Randle went against weak competition. He was literally matched up against Lebron, Draymond green and Jimmy Butler. I truly wonder if you guys even watch any of the games.
