    That makes sense. It was strange seeing him get beaten up and down the floor by Gordon. Take some medicine Julius! We don't have time for being sick!

    Yeah. You could tell he couldn’t quite get it going out there. He’s been playing at a really high level and just had an off game. I can believe he was a bit under the weather.

    Ahh. So you probably raised hell the 1st half. That explains it.

    the offensive foul where augustin came running across the lane to "draw the charge" was b*******, probably based on the refs being prepared to make those calls against randle (which are often correct).

    definitely some of it was his last of energy and focus at times but Luke also said Randle was under the weather so that played a role too in not bringing him back in the game.

    Gosh, we definitely can't afford to lose Randle to sickness right now.

    yeah i didn't realize that he was sick until comments were made post game.

    but, still opportunity for him to learn where he needs to rotate on defense.

    Take a bunch of vitamin C and then sit yourself in a sauna for an hour or two.
    We can't afford half a Randle.

    Didn't see the play but if it was a football game, Randle would have been flagged for "targeting" and tossed...

    I knew a ball player that was so reckless he kept falling and hitting his head on the floor. He eventually had to stop playing from all the concussions.

    :D

    On the contrary, this guy was a fantastic athlete, but always fell really hard. Never really got the knack of it I guess... Good guy though.

    If Ding remains Jeanie's mouthpiece maybe we can assume the FO and her definitely want to keep him here. Haven't read yet. But he's been on fire with a lot of good articles and pictures lately.

    Just finished reading it. Great Read! Really don't want to lose this guy.

    Tons of truth in that article about fans enjoying watching a player evolve in their career and when that happens they love them that much more. Just like we did with Kobe. I hope & pray we get to do that with Julius as well.
