randle thinks passing is bad for him
Randle literally saying that playing the right way takes him out of rhythm is wild.
He's saying what should be patently obvious to everyone by now: Thibs had him playing out of his gotdamn mind last season by limiting his choices, playing him nonstop, and making him the undisputed A-1 alpha with a permanent green-light (despite the upside potential of only taking us as far as 1 win in the first round).
As an ordinary human, I have no right to be critical of Julius failing to achieve basketball superstardom because what he's accomplished thus far is incredible; but it really doesn't bode well that his mental game keeps limiting his physical game. He was great when his options were limited to: A) Never pass to Elf; B) Never pass to Nerlens; C) pass to RJ every third possession or on corner threes; and D) hit Reggie on the arc when the double comes.
Give him too many options and it sure looks like his brain explodes and takes a fragile adolescent ego with it.
THIS!
