This is an offensive onslaught.

Also why I do not think NY can beat BOS in a 7 game series. Just not enough firepower to keep up with Boston over the long haul. Only for short periods.

I have always liked Randle - the Lakers were idiots for giving him away.

People won't like this idea, but I've always thought Randle would be a good fit next to Tatum.

If we don't win the title this year, I wonder if we could work out some deal around a Brown for Randle + deal. Not sure what that would look like in terms of a package given the salary differences next year plus differences in value, but I like the balance and sound of a White, Jrue, Tatum, Randle, Porzingis lineup. Would also help out with the finances and potentially allow us to keep Jrue and White and Porzingis, too, as Randle won't be getting nearly as much as Brown.
Randle and Tatum can have a contest to see who can take the least efficient shots.

I would hate to have to watch Randle on a regular basis. Too inefficient. Too many bad decisions. Too high usage a player. Not a fan. Leave him in NY.

You're right. Like I said earlier, there is no figuring this team's mental dynamic. Never know how they are going to come out.

Inexcusable sloppiness by JB on that lazy one-handed pass. Joe needs to send a message to the guys when they do that by benching them for a few minutes, or at least something to break these bad habits. Tatum has had a bad habit of that lately, too, and that's contributed to our awful turnover percentages.

Steph Curry does this a lot too. Seems to happen more in the modern league than in the past. The games are so open. So many threes. Guys who trying to entertain more than win at various points in games.

I don't understand it. There is nothing enjoyable about sloppy play. Just play smart.

Dumb play by Randle, he has DWhite on him and he flubs around for a while then passes it back out with 1 sec on the shot clock...lol

While not our "best" offensive players, I'm coming around to the idea that both White and KP are close to being our most important offensive pieces.

With White, I think his ability to both move the ball but also penetrate is huge for us, as it gets the offense moving when it can get stagnant.

With KP, his floor spacing and mismatch opportunities provide a whole other level of robustness to our offense, as he pulls any rim protector out of the paint.
Recovering Joe Skeptic, but inching towards a relapse.

Oooh. Nice finish by Tatum. Wormed his way around the defender.

DWhite just sees the game so well.  Another great pass.
