Don't rattle the cage of the, "The Monster", Chandler because you just got played my friend. Another great game from Julius.
Watching chandler arguing with randle and i was thinking to myself, chandler is over ten years older and randle acted the more mature one
Chandler got mad because Randle outsmarted him on defense, then Jules outsmarted him on offense to complete the circle.
Randle got major points in my book for showing some great composure and maturity on that Tyson play. Dude is beasting.
He keeps playing like this, and he might make the All Star team! Think about it. Duncan is gone and Dirk is injured. I know it's a bit of wishful thinking, but not out of the question anymore if he keeps this up.
I loved that play against Chandler so much. The altercation they just had, the way the play naturally developed into an iso, the trash talking that was going on during the play, the way the crowd rose to their feet and egged on Julius. Just sitting at home, even I got giddy and wanted to see Julius try to take Chandler one-on-one. I didn't even see Booker leaving Clarkson open. So with all that, for Julius himself to stay composed during that big moment AND have the court vision to find Clarkson, that was super impressive.
Randle is improving and growing visibly each game. He is not trying to do it all, and is no longer trying to take on a set offense from the halfway line. Demonstrably the Tyson psyche out for the assisted 3 sums up how he is developing as a team player. I even noticed him hustling back on d and fighting through a screen. He is an amazing player, who is pure potential. I was debilitated with pessimism after seeing his warm start to the season. But has shown himself to be a titanic powderkeg, ready for a season.
Dat right hand again! This time firing the 15' pass one handed off the dribble straight ahead to Moz running the floor in the key for the easy deuce. Beauteous!! :Headbang:
He had a great game. He is shooting 60%, which is obviously not sustainable but he is up for a huge improvement over his last years efficiency.
Tyson was pretty upset for quite awhile there in that sequence. So re-watched the play at the other end thinking maybe Julius elbowed him or something but don't "think" I saw anything like that. Did anyone pick up on what triggered that reaction from him? Maybe Julius just started chirping, or what? Not that it makes any difference since he's another ugly beard guy.
That pass to JC illustrated the maturation from Julius. Last year he would've taken Chandler one on one as opposed to drawing the defense and finding the open man. Keep making plays like that and the sky is the limit for the young Randle.
