Trade Randle for a first

Trade him for cap space

 

[tru_m.a.c]

Man Randle does NOT want to buy into successful smart basketball

 

[KnickstapeCity]

Them floppy foot fakkits suck

Thank you @Tom Thibodeau

Suck a dikk, nikka but you’re very welcome

 

[Anerdyblackguy]

Nikkas blaming Randle for everything is stupid to me. That being said if Tibs doesn’t put Quickley in the starting lineup he has to at least explain why. I would love to hear this explanation.

 

[mahnameizray]

Randle body language is AWFUL. I hate to pile on the breh bc I do like him but he is NOT leading. Low key looks tight he has to play within the offense

they went from playing fast and fluid to him stopping the ball and playing that dreaded 2 man game with furniture

 

[Peter Popoff]

Porzingis >>> Randle right now.....

 

[tru_m.a.c]

Thibs needs to keep Grimes or IQ in Young for the rest of the game. Burks isn't quick enough to check him.

Nah man. Those 10 pts came in the minute Fournier and Randle entered the game. Burks can't play Trae tight with them on the floor cause he knows they can't help!!!

Nikkas blaming Randle for Trae young going off is ridiculous to me. That being said if Tibs doesn’t put Quickley in the starting lineup he has to at least explain why.

You most certainly can blame him on the offensive end the last minute and change.

Motherfukker’s body language is off as fukk.

This this this

You saw how when he came into the game he expected to bring the ball up the court over IQ and Burks

What did he do? He had the ball for only two possessions. He passed it to Fournier and the ending when he passed it to burks. The ending was Trae young going off for 8 points in 52 seconds

 

[Geordi]

Trae hit 2 threes from almost half court, there's nothing you can do about that.

 

[Darkman]

Trade Obie and IQ ….. fukk thibs and his love for them wack ass Vets ….. I bet Barrett would shine too with a different lineup

 

[N.Y. State of Mind]

Yeah those two suck at helping. IQ and Grimes have better footspeed defensively to recover if Trae gets a step though.

Sir, you are not watching the game. He didn't just "have the ball"

The possession when he passed to the Fournier came AFTER IQ told him to set up in the post AFTER Randle was standing on the arc waiting for the ball.

Every possession to end the half he kept expecting the ball at the top and IQ and Burks are like muhfukka get yo big ass in the post

It's IQ, Burks, Fournier, Randle, and Mitchell on the floor and the fukkn PF is standing at the top of the key not setting screens or moving off ball

The fact that he is stagnating the offense on the half court.

Force the action.
