draft defense, tag barkley again, run tommy back out there next season and see what happens, most likely – 10 win season, i sez…

Randle had another great boxscore night, but imo he gave back most of that value on the defensive end.

“I’ll make it easier. It was a good signing because he’s a pretty good player and the contract is fair.”

doing stuff around the house…need to go back and re-watch…only really saw the last few minutes of the game…

it was an important win, every win against sub .500 teams will be extremely important…mainly because we can’t really depend on beating plus .500 teams right now…

And you’re still wrong.

Not to mention that Brunson looks hobbled and the guy who strat (wrongly) thinks is our second best player was a late scratch.

If you think it’s the Randle I still disagree. We won tonight because Grimes and Hart were terrific on offense AND good on defense. Randle was terrible on defense. He gave up close to as much on defense as his efficient scoring added on offense.

OTOH Gradey Dick looks like a very questionable pick and the clock is ticking on Siakam and OG (who was very impressive tonight.) The only guy they have signed long term is Poeltl, and that looks like an overpay. Masai has his work cut out for him.

I thought it was a terrific win. We beat a desperate team that we just humiliated on their home court last week, and on a day when we found out our starting C is out for more than two months. Not to mention that Brunson looks hobbled and the guy who strat (wrongly) thinks is our second best player was a late scratch.

We also had our most assists in a single game this year, and we won in large part because:
-Randle was a beast
-RJ scored efficiently (for him)
-Grimes looked like the idealized version of Grimes
-Hart played the winner position pretty darn well

Grimes:
19 points on 11 FG attempts 26.52 minutes

RJ, Randle, and Brunson 54 FG attempts and 17 FT attempts

It’s almost as if being used as a spacer for high usage players impacts your FG attempts. 🙂
