Randle, Mcdaniels and Gobert having a horrible offensive series.
Add Ant man at 75% and surprised they won two.

Changes gon come for Minny.

Rudy to the Hornets?
Randle to the Suns?

Hopefully he can finish strong cause they will need him tonight! Maybe he's this generations Cliff Robinson, who was always such a good regular season player but always played like **** in the playoffs. Harden is like that too.

Are we talking about the year the Hawks were playing suffocating defense, and made it to the conference finals? And Reggie Bullock couldn't get open to catch a pass to save his life? Although it's hard to blame Reggie, he had to chase Trae around with ridiculous rules the NBA changed that offseason.

Or are we talking about the year Randle was playing on the ankle that needed surgery? The ankle he injured right before the playoffs started?

That said, Julius is now having a bad series. And I think he is healthy. So haters can legitimately hate now. Congrats!

I'm sure Wemby hurts the bully ball, but Julius has to adapt.

As a Knick fan, im so glad I no longer have to endure Playoff Randle

19/49 -86 over 5 games. 38,7% FG. In the playoffs. Bench player in a starting role. He is not a starting level player on a contender. Standing around on defense. Watching the ball instead of boxing out. Walking up and down the court with his head down. Minnesota should fire the GM who made that trade and then extended him. Couldn't be me.

As for the series against the Spurs, hate away. He stunk.

The entire beef with Julius for me, is that he can play defense. He can hustle. He can pass before he drives into three defenders. He chooses not to. Lazy/losing player. Head case. Like a spoiled child when things don't go his way. That's the energy he gives off.

Anyone still defending should not be calling others mentally challenged. That month after we got OG was the best he has ever played. Then he got hurt and he was gone. I would have loved to see that guy play. Took him a minute but, he got there. The injury and the trade must have really hurt because he is reverting to the guy before the trade. The one that sucked and was a dick to his team and the staff and the fans. Maybe he calmed down with the hissy fits with his team but, this is the Randle we had for years. Empty stat, inefficient, sloppy, low IQ player.3rd option at best on a good team. Would be a stud off the bench though.

Anthony Edwards is gonna want a trade eventually. That Gobert trade and keeping him instead of KAT? Then the Randle trade/extension ...TERRIBLE. The off-season for Minnesota is going to be interesting.

Wemby on defense is some next level **** we can't fathom yet. Him and the Spur get no credit for making Jules look bad?

That is not relevant. SAS is the better team overall and the fact that Minny won any games at all considering their depleted state is actually kind of impressive.

But it has zero correlation with criticisms of a player known for plunging into deep wells of despair when their shot is not falling and who is very well known for quitting on his team when those funks occur.

That Randle's moods are so firmly fixed to his own personal offensive stats and that he barely even qualifies as a street pylon on defense is the issue.

Randle is a loser and Minnesota has players with real fight in them, but Randle is not one of them. You don't see anyone calling out Naz Reid instead of Randle for a reason. It is not just that Randle is a former Knick, it is that his history of failure to give two sh1ts about his team when under pressure is well established.

Yes, it is well established in echo chambers. Hate away.

Absolutely Nalod... the Spurs and Wemby get a ton of credit. Wemby is going to alter a lot of shots and careers.

The Hawks and Sixers were scrubs. I hope if we make it to the finals our excellent play continues.

Look, you're a Randle fan so defending your guy even when he is failing does not come as a surprise.

I think the guy is a straight up bum, a quitter. My opinion of Randle should not be construed in any way as an attack on you.

Have I called you mentally challenged for being a Randle defender? Nah

I will never question your rationality for supporting Randle. That's your prerogative.

However, I would qualify someone as a cultist if they feel the need to attack someone who does not share their belief.
