I don't want to be a Randle hater, but I am definitely not loving what I'm seeing from him this season.

Someone called him our version of Westbrook, and that comparison is starting to be not that far off.

We are two IQ lucky bounces away from the L.

I'm not a Randle hater. I just think he plays dumb basketball if you don't hold him accountable. The moment he stagnates the offensive flow of the game, take him out. The same way Kemba and Fournier, when they don't play defense, take them out. When RJ plays like crap, take him out.

We have a strong bench. No need to stick with tje starters if they don't give you the effort and smart play.

Obi leads team with +15 plus/minus for the game.
IQ has ice water in his veins.
Randle started out playing within the team concept, hit a bunch of shots, and then tried to take over the offense again (with predictable results).
Fournier player of the night.
Good shooting from RJ from three. Hopefully he is getting his stroke back.
We miss Rose on that 2nd team - especially in running the offense.
A win is a win. I would have better had we not blown the big lead, but a win is still a win.

I've been saying this for a while now......Package up Randle and Mitch and see what you can get for them before their value drops even further. If Thibs can't control Randles play, then we've got to move on from him.

A shooter's bounce is not lucky.

Imagine how the R Barrett fandom would act if he ever had 20 16 and 5 they'd be damn near euphoric!

Randle almost ISO’d us to death, sucked ass on defense, got into foul trouble, got a tech from the bench, almost turned the ball over in crunch time, tried to fight a laker as soon as the game ended …. But he had a decent stat line and really not a bad game when you consider this is Randle that we are talking about

We really gonna drive Randle outta here one day… and go thru another long stretch wishing we had a player as good as him.. wash rinse repeat

I'll take it

Quick and Evan caught fire, Obi playing well, and RJ broke out of his funk a bit

Especially in games like tonight, we need to do something about Randle's habit of holding the ball and taking low %age shots. They're just not going in at the same rate as last year, and our defense has dropped off to the point we can't keep up if he's not hitting

We need him to be more of a finisher than a creator at this point.

The real storyline here is Nerlens got 39 minutes and we won. We didn't even have a backup center nor did we have Derrick Rose

Randle will be fine. We just need to get an alpha next to him. I think his style will benefit greatly from that.

Life is all about perspective.

It's hard to enjoy wins when each game makes you feel you're dealing with hypertension. I just want the team to play the basketball we played in the preseason when the ball movement was beautiful to watch.

with perspective we'd realize how short life is and what an enormous waste of time we've devoted to this horrible franchise. we don't have that.

Randle is the most consistent player on our team, the engine that makes us go
