Playoff Julius returns and his stellar defense continues —- incredible player.

DD continues to struggle shooting at home —— 25% from 3 and 50% from FT today.

Precious is hard to watch - Flynn after nice game look scared - Thibs benching him entire 1/2 against Griz may not have helped.

Josh Hart probably gets the worst player award today —- bad decisions, bricking and just sloppy play.

Just because we wanted OG doesn't mean we have to play the other Craptors. Give me Jericho over Achiuwa and anyone over Flynn.

Deuce is a sloppy dribbler needs to tighten his handle. Deuce is fine off the bench as the benches secondary ball handler. Bench is sluggish and Precious plays with no energy, he is the Anti Obi. Need a spark plug for the bench who is not afraid to take it to the defense. Plus we need a better back up center Precious sucks. Add a Clarkson, Brogdon, or Rozier to the bench, yesterday please.

Deuce needs reps. I wouldn’t get down on him just yet. He gets crowded by Randle when Randle claps for the ball from the top of the key. Doesn’t even try to earn position on the block anymore. Just gets close to the ball handler and calls for ball.

Tonight’s game was everything that’s wrong with Randle, not McBride.

Just a bad game. We got beat.

I said nothing bad about Deuce. He is fine off the bench, but preferably with a better initiator for him to play with him. An aggressive player with more offensive creativity.

This is kind of why I said I was happy with our first loss. People started to get too high on the Knicks during our wins streak when we had very clear issues. This Brunson injury shines a light on even more issues. Everything needs to be on the table and that includes still trading Randle if the right deal pops up. I love McBride and Grimes but we need shot creator after Brunson. The more we have to rely on Randle the worse the team becomes. We also need a decent big off the bench. Call me crazy but Obi would be an upgrade over what we have now. Oh yea, Obi is also shooting 40% from 3 this year.

Flynn, Precious suck, Deuce is not a good enough spot-starter at PG but a fine bench player, Grimes is probably best used as trade bait for us. Get a backup C, a scoring PG/SG, and try to get Hayward for peanuts.

There are a number of posters here who will get their panties in a bunch if anyone criticizes Randle - oh and his ankle is the excuse again even though he was playing like a turd prior to rolling it.

Julius remains a fascinating character ---- I'm sure if he's ever traded I'll be excited but what would we actually get in return. As most have recognized he is a frustrating player BUT he plays most every night, he's mostly productive, he seems to make the effort to improve but man he's hard to love all the way.

Forgive those of us who note his virtues while not denying imperfections. And thought it was a dumb idea to attach multiple firsts with him for John Wall.
