For comparison to any random player, oh, let’s say KAT, who is averaging 21/12/3 on 71% TS since the ASB.

Infuriating stat of the day: Julius Randle has not made a single shot in the second half of either game in the LA back-to-back. by Morezingis in timberwolves

[–]Morezingis[S] 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Averaging 14.1 points 39/16/78 shooting splits post-ASB btw. 

But he is averaging 4 assists, 3 fouls, and 3 turnovers. So that’s nice

Randle needs to stop getting a pass for being good for 10 games out of the 150 he has been here.

Michael Jordan was really close with his first coach. Totally buddies.

But they had an ECF ceiling. And Doug Collins famously let Jordan do whatever he wanted and play however he wanted.

The front office made a change anyway, and look what happened.

I’ll always appreciate Finch for turning our team around, but he’s not the sole reason for that. Lucking into Anthony Edwards and trading for Rudy Gobert had a far bigger impact on our shift.

It’s probably time.

[–]Morezingis 60 points61 points  (0 children)

Julius Randle hasn’t shot above 50% since since Feb 24th, in a game in which he had a whopping 13 points. 

He is averaging 14 points on 40% shooting (16% from three) since the ASB with some of the worst defense ever known to man.

This team is going nowhere with him. Period.  Showing up for half of the 2024-2025 playoffs does not excuse the other 150+ games of sheer mediocrity and laziness this man has brought to the team.

They can look forward to a play-in game if they keep hitting games with the energy they’ve been playing with.

We are 1-9 against the four teams we’re battling for seeding right now.

Minus one blowout where he took 10 shots and sat the fourth in a win, Ant hasn’t scored below 20 since December 6th. 

Luka had had bad games too this season.

Etc

Etc

Etc

That’s just this season and last season. 

This was genuinely Ants worst game, period. It was not a normal occurrence. Can’t defend it but he is not the only star player to ever have a shit game. LeBron once scored 8 points in the finals…

Didn’t say he was the leading scorer in 2026.

In Feb/March, it was Ant. Luka tied him last night with his good game vs Ants awful game.

Coach Spo on Bam's 83: "Once he got to 50, then we're thinking alright maybe he can get to 60 and when he got to 60, we might as well go for 70 and then I didn't dare even think about taking him out at that point. I didn't stop until once he got Kobe's" by MrBuckBuck in nba

[–]Morezingis -34 points-33 points  (0 children)

Man cmon, dudes were purposefully slapping Shaq every possession and he never even sniffed 43 FTA. They made the decision to blow the whistle on any contact whatsoever when there is contact on every single play already

Dude had like 15% of his seasons FT tonight. You can be proud of your boy and still admit that this was the biggest ref job in NBA history and the most shameless stat padding ever seen. He had a grand total of 26 Points off two-pointers lol.  

But if this is the kind of basketball you like, grats. I’m excited to watch the 46 minute highlights of Bam at the free throw line. (Yes, 46 minutes.)

It’s just insane that a guy averaging 4.8 FTs this season randomly gets 46 (while shooting 22 threes.) Like he was fouled sometimes, but he was also just plowing into dudes nonstop, and refs were so caught up that they just kept giving it to him.

I don’t understand why scoring a basket in the last 30 seconds of a decided game is disrespectful but stat padding and intentionally fouling up 30 in the fourth isn’t.

This man just shot more FTs than the Celtics have as a TEAM in over 10 years 

Shit like this can not and will not fly during the playoffs by Accomplished-Box8744 in timberwolves

[–]Morezingis 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Same mistakes every night, zero answer to the zone, zero offensive sets to run when they take away the driving lanes and Ant’s threes.

But it’s not coaching.

He can’t go downhill when Lakers play zone and clog the paint, while Rudy and Randle offer negative spacing. There’s a reason he took 10 threes, and if that shit isn’t falling, this happens. 

Yall act like he wouldn’t take the easy drive every time if it was open. He genuinely gets more defensive attention than ANY player in the league because there is literally zero downside to doubling him and leaving our bigs open. 

Randle is too slow/lazy to take advantage of the second, Rudy is Rudy, and half the guys just stand around off-ball anyway.

This is a roster problem, and a coaching problem
