If RJ didn’t play, do we win this game?

I still feel like RJ and Randle don’t fit. The difference is Randle has All Star skills, so he gets a pass. But it’s clear if you watch the pace of this team without Randle and RJ. Of course we are a worse team without them or really without Randle. I’m not arguing that. It’s just ugly basketball when our two ISO players don’t have it going because instead of passing more they shoot more when they not hitting. And it’s tough to win games when they are shooting bad.

Or

Maybe this the Brunson affect and I need to chill out and drink some tea. That’s a lot of pressure on one player now, with Randle being injured and will need a few games to get his wind back. But if anybody can carry a team is Brunson who already proved it. So never mind. Carry on gents.

Loved the effort and nobody got hurt! That is all you can ask for.

RJ's three point shooting is going to be a huge x factor against Cleveland. If he somehow catches fire or just shoots avaerage we'll have a great chance. And Grimes shouldn't change a thing. He needs to keep being aggressive and put up shots and drive to the basket.

As far as the Dallas tank, of course I hate it. But let's be fair. If we were Mavs fans we'd be happy. Cuban was smart here. They had no shot in the play-in. They are not a good team despite having two super stars. Goes to show you having the stars doesn't always mean you'll be good. But if you want to blame anyone, blame Adam Silver and Stern before him. This was their idea and it's their league. It promotes and encourages tanking. And it's now been proven a team could care less about a play-in spot. Do not be surprised if Dallas wins the lottery now and ends up with Wembanyama.

Watching the game now. RJ to end the half LOL. He takes the ball out of the PG's hands, walks it up and with his back to the basket time expires. Geez
