    Hmm. Not fractured cartilage is also technically a incomplete fracture. 100% incomplete.

    Is it possible this their way to rest Durant? They have #2 on lock. May be the have given up on catching Houston?

    But spreading that rumor could be powerfully effective in reducing the number of charges he’s called for...

    I would think they have. Their priority has to be getting Curry, Klay, and now Durant healthy for the playoffs. I really don’t think they’re worried about facing chokers like Harden and Paul in a game 7 on their floor.

    Warriors better get healthy and Toronto ( or full strength Cavs) better not choke because the Rockets would have trouble with the C-bags defense ( well they are hit by many injuries too)

    Positive attitude about it at least

    I may have missed it but no talk of his defense against perimeter players in the article ?

    This is what makes him invaluable IMO. This is what we want from our bigs and he's the only one who is nearly always effective switching on smalls.

    I have limited access for a few days, but love the idea! I’ll see what I can do

    Nice to see Randle making bodies fly again tonight. Pretty strong game especially offensively but the early foul trouble hurt him a bit.

    Julius with another casual 23/10 game. This has become the norm for him lately.

    March averages:
    23.1 pts
    9.6 reb
    3.0 ast
    64.1 TS%

    What a beast.

    Yep, another powerful game from Randle who was really getting it done tonight in pretty impressive fashion down low. Had some nice moves against the much taller and longer AD. What about that block and then taking it coast to coast for the slam in the first half? Wowza! Beast mode activated.

    Randle with all his rough edges is our best player with Lopez right behind him. 2 way games from both. Durable.

    Pulled from my sore butt right now. Kuz not there yet with the D and BI not yet as consistent or on the floor available like those two.

    Randle Rhino.png Not an easy one to animate unfortunately. End up with something like this:

    Imagine Julius at the 5 with elite spacing like GS or Houston ...

    Before this year I really couldn't. But now? You bet. That was one good thing that came out of the Randle benching earlier this year: seeing him demonstrate his ability as a small ball 5. It was eye-opening.

    I can’t believe the reports indicating his value will be around $15 million.

    I know teams around the league are strapped for cap room after overextending themselves the past few seasons, but I find it hard to believe that there wouldn’t be at least a few teams preparing to offer him a full max. He may not have max value now, but he’s projecting to be there in a few years so you gotta do what it takes to lock him up.

    But if you’re a scout for another team reading this, ignore everything I just said. Julius is garbage, you don’t want him.

    Exactly why we need to lock him up this summer. Teams win championships by having guys out preforming their pay check
