Against denvers 3rd string with Randle, EF, Rose, and OBI. He should.

oh, I see - and Fournier missing open 3's against the same group. Rose missing 3s, Randle missing 3s- I guess they just made the basket bigger for Grimes. And he played with energy, I guess.

Im saying he is not the problem but might not be the solution. You made grimes in but we playing ahead of Rj?

POst game is brutal. Honest. Questioning the roster construction?
Good stuff. Off to costco. Not my job to fix this.

Awful game to attend, awful game to watch, awful everything. This was one of the worst defensive efforts I've ever seen from a Thibs coached team. Denver did whatever they wanted. You can live with Jokic getting his but to allow some bum named Nnaji to hit five threes and the rest to hit seventeen threes is just inexcusable. It starts with defense but before that it starts with leadership from the HC and the vets getting the team ready to play and we came out sleepwalking as if we were out partying until 3am. Right now we are not seeing the effort and willingness to win that we saw last season. I refuse to believe that can all change with the departure of guys like Elfrid Payton and Reggie Bullock. Technically right now it's the same damn team as last season except for Fournier instead of Bullock. Even Thibs hinted at it in the post game calling out RJ for not working as hard as last season on his shooting when he would spend every night at the gym getting shots up. I get the feeling the same thing has happened to the rest of the team, including Randle. This is frustrating to watch. I hate being under .500! The last time we had an eight year drought! I never want to experience that again!

Obi was +2 in this fiasco. I’m gonna focus on that.

And if that doesn’t seem incredible enough… Grimes was +9!

Mitch scored 4 points. That’s .57 points per foot. Egregious.

Seriously WTF was Randle doing on the 1st shot. He basically left 2 defenders just to do a lazy saunter into the paint. The 3pt shooter could not be more side open. Look at the second shot. Where the shooter caught the ball there was no reason to try and go under the screen. There was plenty of room to go over and the shooter was not turning the corner. So why did Randle decide to go under? Yea, this team is trash and Randle got his money so he no longer cares about defense. He just wants to dominate the offense so he can get his stats and feel good when he looks at the stat sheet.
Randle's defensive rotations have been terrible this year...

Yes...I think I've seen enough of Randle. On balance there is more bad then good!
