Are you thinking of Isaiah Roby?

Then that makes 3 additions: Joshua, Isaiah, and of course Jeremiah.

Sigh. Woj said last night that, “”Julius Randle’s ankle will need to improve considerably to play Sunday.”

We can win without him. We’ve seen that. But Playoff Jimmy would have had to work really hard to help defend against a bigger and stronger guy. Without that, we’re obviously doomed.

I doubt there’s any evidence to either refute or corroborate the theory, frankly, because it’s brand spanking new. Thibs is doing something in the playoffs that he never did in the regular season, and it’s fucking awesome, innit?

Bravo, coach.

RJ was actually markedly worse with Randle off the court this year–49.3% TS in 695 minutes.

This is irrelevant, though.

The argument is not “RJ can do this any time Randle isn’t on the court.”

What I’m thinking is:

a) the acquisition of Josh Hart and his elite rebounding skill has unlocked Thibs’ willingness to adopt lineup combinations that don’t feature two non-shooting bigs,

and b) RJ playing with Brunson and in these new spread lineups is the thing that’s unleashed him.

If you put Randle back in, out goes one of the guards, and there goes the spacing needed to get RJ going downhill.

Yeah, I really didn’t think the Kings had this in them, showed a lot of toughness winning this game on the road. Jordan Poole helped a lot by being awful, but they won with many important players like Sabonis, Barnes and Murray playing pretty badly. Let’s hope they can close out at home.

I can confirm ThisChicanery’s suspicions. RJ was actually markedly worse with Randle off the court this year–49.3% TS in 695 minutes.

RJ gonna be key. Yes, they have shooters, but there’s a reason they were on the bench. If Duncan R gets pt, we have to abuse him. And that’s either RJ or Grimes.
