I don't care if he starts or not, but playing him such limited minutes has been stupid. Less than 22 per game? Not warranted or wise. He should see more than that.
So... I'm thinking it's going to take more than a 1st now to get this guy from me. I was wrong on that front. If we trade him, it better be for a disgruntled star on a long-term contract. I love watching Julius in close games. He had a miscue in there with the turnover, but I loved that he didn't back down at all from Embiid. Also f*** Embiid. That talented piece of **** deserved to lose.
Yeah, I mean other than a few bad offensive possessions you can’t ask much more of Randle than that. Great d, refused to back down from that big flopping a-hole Embiid, some huge shots. Him coming back for Lopez was huge.
I wish we can get that Julius all game. He’s a very emotional player, and sometimes it gets the better of him, but he really turns it on when he does. Commendable defense on Embiid, no one can really guard him, and the doubling was terrible, but he took it back at him on the other end.
Absolutely great job tonight. The guy can be a junkyard dog when he wants to be. Undersized, but fought Embiid till the bitter end.
I've only watched the last 5 mins of the game so far and what I saw was a beast playing with an edge !
Everyone send the FO a calculator and a spreadsheet before they trade Randle because they want two max players when they can keep Randle and get their players too.
