You see the look on Toppin’s face when he just got subbed out for Randle. Anguish, pain, disgust and I don’t blame him. Randle does not need 38 minutes a game

Randle's Achilles heel is not very subtle. More of an Achilles face...

2 double teams, 2 turnovers.

Blocks should negate a substitution, and buy you 2 more minutes.

IMHO it was an egregiously bad decision by Obi. Pull up 3 not from the corner early in the shot clock?

He knows he’s getting pulled after 5 min of play. That clock went off in his head that it’s his last chance to touch the ball before heading to the bench.

Doubling Randle is an effective strategy. Slows him down and his TOs increase

So Obi takes a terrible shot and gets benched, Randle makes back to back to back horrible plays, gets a pass.

We shall call it the 5 minute limit heat check

This is what I mean with Thibs sub rotation. He’s almost too structured and consistent by default. It’s like he uses the clock to decide when to sub instead of game flow.

Threes should negate a substitution. And if the sub is EF it lasts for the quarter.

RJ always passing to Mitch like he owes him money.
