My favorite is where fans cant grasp why Thibs didnt just play these good defensive players earlier, as if practicing and coaching means nothing. Duece going to G league, IG fight through slumps, RJ fight through slumps, Mitch flailing at first but now sailing. If I am trying to do anything with my posts it is to disassociate the perception of skill from volume stats and encourage people to look at deeper numbers. This is the Randle.

Look at McBrides stats from last year. Two man lineups. His Net Rating is positive with nearly all players except Randle. Don’t go deeper. Look at todays stats. They are roughly identical. What changed in the “coaching and practice” from last year to now except playing time? That’s why I think you are wrong. I’m not asking you to admit “I was wrong about my blind faith to systemic failures and commitment to veterans despite overwhelming statistical evidence of their failures”, I’m just asking you not to be so hypocritically braggart when you say stuff like:
This is the Randle.
