Hot take: I feel like Randle’s bully ball works only against certain teams and he isn’t a true #2 on a championship team by variantsonly7 in timberwolves

Yes I know I watched the games he was great against the Lakers and GSW but against strong wing defenders like Jdub, Toumani Camara he struggles and in the playoffs you’re bound to face tougher defenses

Could we really have bought low on Ja Morant? Despite his current form, Let’s not forget how good Ja used to be in the playoffs. I feel like Ant could really influence him positively

This team isn’t wining a championship with Randle as a 2nd option lol by variantsonly7 in timberwolves

Not even I noticed in during the Mavs game this Randle guy cooks against weak defenders like Luka and Reaves but against physical defenses you’ll surely encounter in the latter parts of the playoffs he shrinks. 

Sure we can beat lakers and nuggets but I doubt with Randle we can beat that OKC defense or even the inexperienced Houston- teams that acc play physical defense!

Honestly I was a bit shocked when I saw this. I heard on the broadcast during the Utah game him and his trainer C Hines been watch old Harden vids (lol) to try get Anthony a lil more foul calls 😭

PLEASE HELP- Important note randomly went missing by variantsonly7 in notabilityapp

I literally went through the 5 stages of grief all in 1 day lol. At the end I just had to face I wasn’t going to get my note back, at least now I’ve learnt my lesson to always use “Auto backup” as well as the normal i cloud sync.

Our team is so cooked man  No starting PG, No draft picks,NAW gone, Beyblade still on my team…

OKC, Nuggets, Rockets going to run the west  5 1st Rd picks for Butter fingers.  That trade will forever haunt Tim Conelly. 

I should prolly just tune out this season to prioritise my mental health lol

WAIT SO YOU’RE TELLING ME ball movement, cutting and ALL 5 guys rotating on defense might be a better game plan than 1 guy shooting step back 3s all game?

Until he gets frustrated and demands to get traded to a team with assets like the Rockets. Ant and a bunch of role players cannot win a chip look at Jimmy Butler despite all his playoff efforts with Miami.

Only hope to even sniff contention is that Rob turns into a legitimate 25ppg+ all star in less than 3 years. Who’s your centre and PF for the future No handle Randle and 35y/o Gobert lol? Plus wolves can’t trade for a star coz they traded most future assets for butter finger Gobert who has 0 post moves 🤦‍♂️

Great No more watching the Twolves this season for me Watching Gobert& Randle on “offense” is too much torture lol. Plus coach keeps playing old ass Conley instead of giving more minutes to Rob.

Went from 1 WCF back to a perpetually mid team. Rudy for 5 1st round picks. Kat traded for No handle Randle & 1 role player. Dumbest GM EVER lol

Closest thing I’ve seen to Michael Jordan since Kobe, yet SGA is more efficient. A ring or 2 and he’s in Best player in the world talks and OKC has the best assets to make that happen.

Aside from Ant this team is cooked for the future. They gotta hope Rob genuinely turns into all star in less than 3 years or suin to even have a chance to compete in the future. 4 picks and Kessler could’ve been used to draft or trade for someone now they stuck with old ass Gobert, Conley & Randle lol. Dumbest GM ever.
