    If he can implement those types of moves into his already dominating style of play...yeah, he’s already showing why he deserves to get paid and I am hoping to high heaven we retain him. Definitely showing he wants to be great, not just good.

    Definitely something Randle is known for!



    Here is the full tweet Pete's referencing so you don't have to click the link.

    Or...it could be that each team either has the best player in the game or is some version of a super team... With only the cbags as the outlier with their regular season #1 ranked team defense.

    On a much related note, pay stars!

    For the record: I value defense incredibly. But today's game is a star's game. You need a few to win it all.

    I wouldn't call him the best 1 on 1 defender but here's a video of his full versatility on defense from start to the 2:30 mark on display from this past year.

    LOL. Ultimate season highlights with not one J or 3 pointer shot. Maybe the guy forgot? Great stuff though. He's just so explosive now with the new body and can bounce anyone in the league around it almost seems. Wasn't like that at the start of the year and he seemed on an island on D overmatched sometimes against the biggest 5s. But later in the season that was no longer the case. That speed with his feet on D against some of the guards when he was really engaged is impressive. Improved vertical game. Jules ain't going nowhere.

    Now I miss some of the full T jerseys after taking a long time to start liking them. Thanks Nike. Give us our purple and gold colors back. Where was Jeanie in that process? Canary freaking yellow .... come on.

    Jerseys look canary when the lights hit them hard imo cause I've seen at other times they look clean.

    Anyways for real LT I want Randle back. I have low key since he emerged initially this year with capela/rockets and draymond/warriors on my mind. And as we know yeah it's valuable to have a guy like him whose not gonna get smoked by Gs/Fs.

    They are canary. I've seen them on a calibrated display. Jeanie asleep at the wheel when that went down. Someone should let her know in the media. Friendly little tickle jab thingy in the ribs.

    Like Kurt Rambis?

    High energy, high effort, blue collar guys always have a huge fan following beyond their talent and production level

    That’s nothing unusual. I think most fans hope we keep him, but for the right price of course

    Ox was making a Nance reference. I think. He told me, but I was drunk.

    Nothing new. Shot looks the same. I especially don't love his form on threes. I don't know why his body twists so much and his landing spot is so inconsistent.
