Right. Now look at Ant's first half. 3-8 with half those shots coming from beyond the arc and one FTA.

We are talking about one of the most dynamic offensive threats in the NBA and he has been cut down to a floor spacing wing for the sake of Julius Randle. It's absurd!

I'm not that smart of a guy, so if I see this I have to believe the front office sees it too and hopefully Randle won't be on the roster by February 6th and hopefully earlier than that.

This won't be a popular take, but this team isn't very likeable with Ant and Randle playing as much iso as they do. I can see why the TV ratings are down so far. Last year was twice as much fun to follow.

I won't argue about the aesthetic part, but Randle is +15 and ANT is +13. The next closest one is Jaden at +6...

Ant looks disappointed that LeBron isn't playing.

I'd say the defense has been fun to watch of late and definitely matches the intensity of last season. Whether this group can keep it up is TBD. But I agree with Cool that the offense is hard to watch at times. OTOH, the offense wasn't real pretty last year either! It's been a multi-season issue now.
