Based on tonight’s box score - going to put my J Vanderbilt love away for a few minutes.
Really like Austin Reed.
Did not realize RJ was only 11-28 and 1-8 from 3 but tonight we needed his agressand buckets.

RJ with quality misses! Looks like a typical RJ box score

Just wondering how is 1-8 from 3pt line quality misses???

He 10 for 20 without them.

I understand he shot well without the 3 pt shots but what is a quality miss? Wide open shots that you are missing?
I could not watch the game but I really love this play from Thibs playbook. It has movement and it uses iHarts great passing ability for a big.
Much needed win! Super proud of Randle! He doubled his dosage (J/K!) and had an amazing bounce back game! Right from the jump came out firing and played so hard! He acknowledged he had a poor game against the Clippers and had a monster game! Although JVG made me extremely nervous reminding us how bad we were in the final 5 minutes! But Randle made a key bucket with about 5 minutes left. Just an overall great game from him!
Also super proud of RJ! He steamed rolled that fourth quarter with 13 huge points! He still cannot hit a three but did make a clutch one off an offensive rebound and just dominated the paint! Also loved Deuce! That's MY guy! He got national kudos and played his usual insane man to man defense and even made some threes! Nice game from Hartenstein! Made life miserable for AD! Obi also played well. IQ and Hart did their thing too!
Any win without Brunson is huge! Got to hold the fort until he comes back and hold onto at least that 6th seed!

I-Hart is actually playing great D and I’m not talking about sitting around the basket.
He hedges great out top often derailing the initial pick/roll or at least redirecting it. He rotates all over the place often covering for teammates and he’s not locked in the lane.
Throw in his rebounding and I would think he has one of the best rim protection metrics even without great shot blocking. His teammates clearly like playing with him.
On Mitch front - is he injured because he basically looks 40 getting up and down the court?

Seemed more like a complete defensive breakdown than anything special from our end. But I am encouraged by how quickly iHart picked up on this. And the fact that we made an open layup.

Mitch hasn't been the same since the Nets game

I loved this play last night and would love to see more of this movement with Obi instead of having him go to the corner and wait.

I don't recall him being a defensive force around the rim earlier in the year. Even when he doesn't block a shot, he is being a disruptive factor.
A truly pleasant surprise as a defender in the paint.

Gotta guess iHart has really been slowed down with injuries, especially pre all star break.
Still want more from him.

I didn’t see the game. I just checked in to see if we won. But to answer your question it is called sarcasm which never reads well on internet forums. On the bright side, Italy is so beautiful I really don’t care if RJ shoots 1-100 right now

Love this kid and always want him to play well - so bad.
Many bitch about his offense but despite his current % I do think he’s going to keep improving. The fact that Thibs keeps running him out there in a crunch speaks volumes to what kind of worker this kid must be.
Against cermatch-ups he’s really effective and I don’t think either Schroeder or Reeves enjoyed handling against him and Duece isn’t afraid to pressure full court and deny the other teams ball handler the ball.
He changed the flow of the game last night along with Hart/Hart/Obi.

Loved this but curious Martin what more are you wanting from I-Hart? Offensive side?
AD is a softy — give me Julius and any of his follies over lethargic…seemingly uninterested AD.
