Julius needs to get his mojo back but even with Alpha Julius the team can't go far if he is the best player on the team.   Prefer to roll Obi out there to score and contribute in many ways off movement rather than have to be the point of attack.  That type of iso heavy offense is so easy to defend.  Rather field a five headed snake with guys like Obi, IQ, Burks, taj, rose etc

Hey Kamster, good point about the five headed snake.
Still, Randle does a few other things well, in addition to not shooting lately.
The worst part is the turnovers, really ugly.
It is as if his head is not in the game.
That ship needs to be righted before it sinks.

BOS shot 4-42 on 3's.
The starters: 1-28.
Brutal.

What blew me away in today's story about Xian, those poor 13 million mf'ers (insert "starving" as you wish, many with no access to food, lol) aren't even allowed to open their windows because of the $%# they're spraying on every inch of the city.. normal as fuk, lol,

What blew me away in the Boston box: Jaylen Brown's 36 FGA....without a single assist.

Turns out it ties the NBA record.


*** intriguing list of leaders in this category, 30+ FGA no assists...very few have shot as poorly as Jaylen and continued to hoist away: lot of bigs known for scoring but not passing (Patrick's on it three times as is AD) Kobe jackmaster uno is there of course as is the Iceman; a couple "so hot why pass" performances - Melo!, Antoine Walker! Mike Mitchell earning multiple spots for the Stepien-era cavs.

Disagree.

Yeah, if you shoot better, you'll win more.

But it's the kind of shots. When our offense is stagnant, it's easier to defend. Few easy shots. The "second unit" seems much faster, fluid, and pesky. More like to disrupt other team's mojo.

* To paraphrase what Wally said regarding Julius. 

More than two dribbles and he gets in trouble. 

Smart man.   Wally reads the forum ; )

When Wally said that, I was thinking....

"Good. So who's gonna tell Julius?"

[kidcarter8]

RJ shot a wide open 3 from the corner three feet over the hoop.  Dont give me that shit

Almost as bad as the drive he made where he missed a wide open Mitch 2 feet from the hoop and proceeded to clank the layup

Grimes meanwhile took 5 shots - all three pointers.  I see that going to the hoop thing is going good for him

My guess is Chip doesnt post on Grimes today

[kidcarter8]

Meanwhile we are 17-18, back in pretty good shape.

[Kam]

Start OBI!

Kemba
RJ. (should be IQ but thibs plays favorites)
Grimes
Obi
Robinson

IQ, Gibson, Deuce, Burks off the pine.

Robinson-Randle-RJ-Grimes-Kemba

Just what the docotor ordered.

Wasn't that somebody's dream line-up?

Worst basketball I have ever seen.

Have I mentioned that I'm officially done with Julius Randle.

Picks + expirings, whatever, I'm good.


** and if it turns out that he is hurt or overworked or who knows the F what, then it's Thibs fault for playing him, but since Thibs is the coach I still need him gone cause I don't want to see this %ish anymore

** and if it turns out that there is some crazy offcourt %$%$ish he is dealing with, then let him go deal with it cause I don't want to see this %ish anymore

That is fair, I guess.  Happy hunting.

But the rest of us are looking for the highest seed we can get.

Progress = 2 straight years in playoffs - and maybe a Game Seven or dare I say a series win.

My dealing Barrett has to do with

a)  getting a  better guy in return

and

b)  making sure we use the asset well before he defines MEDIOCRE overpaid NBA guy.

Problem is matching Barrett's size when we replace him.  That's a tough one.

I wouldn't give up on that lineup.
Kemba was already starting to slump after playing big minutes lately and it was a B2B.
Only saw the 3Q and some of the 4Q, but Wally was saying that Kemba didn't look right and thought the knee was troubling him.  Grimes was out of sync 4Q of last game.
And Randle was just out of it this game.  RJB looked bad as well.
I'd like to see the same lineup when Kemba isn't worn down and Julius is engaged.

Mid 3Q, Randle has consecutive turnovers, RJB gets doubled and throws a feeble pass for another turn.   Grime has some dribbling trouble.  So I'm begging the Knix to get the ball into Kemba's hands.  Which they finally do.  Walker takes two dribbles and jacks a contested 3.  DET scores again and Knix down 14.  Yikes.  Ballhandling and passing isn't/shouldn't be that hard.

2nd unit brought energy on both ends.  McBride gets after guys.  Quix is fast twitch on both ends.  Toppings heads rimwards,  But Burks was the man.  Saved the game.

Start OBI!

IQ, Gibson, Deuce, Burks off the pine.

With Randle entering protocols, it is somewhat likely that Thibs will listen to you.

Knox or Dot as the backup power forward in this stretch?

The league says you must.
