It's absurd the amount of times he gets stripped of the ball 30 feet from the basket...It will continue to happen because our coach is a Randle enabler...
like there, where he just lost the dribble?

And we get short handed wizard and hawks teams next 2 games. Our depth is a big help right now
If we can get this kind of play out of the starters when the bench comes back we can start to play up to our potential.

Starters? You think Kemba still starting when everyone is back?

whether he does or not, RJ maybe should head to the bench, because this group actually had good rhythm, granted, against a marginal team.

Maybe we can play against Detroit in the ECF

There’s no question he should, he’s by far our best pg option when his shot is falling. It’s not even close. 22 8 5, and he should of had 10 assists if Randle, Fournier, Burkes could actually hit a open three pointer.

only if we can also play them in the first round, otherwise we're not advancing!
My dude Mitchell Robinson was a freak of nature tonight.
17 points off of 8/9 from the field, 14 rebounds, 3 blocks, 1 steal and a game high +24 (during only 24 minutes of play).
Kid is an All-Star Center in the makings.

I love RJ but I think you have to build around him. And right now Randle is the focus. RJ could benefit from playing off the bench, since he would be the lead dog in that 2nd lineup, playing with Obi which is similar to throwing lobs to Zion in college. He would fit like a glove. Question is for thibs. He’s been faithful to RJ since his rookie year with high minutes as a starter. I can see thibs moving Burks back to the bench and starting RJ. As soon as we get blown out, he moves RJ to the bench. Just my guess. But thibs is loyal to a fault.
I am not sure if you guys noticed but this is now 3 games where EF did more than spot up and he has played well. Hopefully Thibs notices and keeps him involved in the offense more than just spotting up on the weakside.

This team wasn’t good tonight. They didn’t get any easy baskets. Barrett’s off-ball movement is so essential. Burks is better off the bench. I think Fournier doing what he’s doing now will be beneficial to Randle and Barrett. It’s the PG situation that needs to get figured out.

RJ will start at the 2 with Burks coming off the bench

Lock him up long term. He’s Camby with possibly even more upside

Fournier and Kemba have also been playing better together. Their struggles while playing with eachother earlier in the season was probably just them needing time to gel
Mitch was tremendous. I'm starting to think Randle is not gonna make his 3's this year. But my gosh, the amount of lazy turnovers on the perimeter are maddening. We could have won by 20-30 if they stopped being so lazy with the ball.
