I don’t know how Zach Randolph is going to be able to look at himself in the mirror tonight. A guy with a reputation as being one of the toughest players in the league, getting toasted on both ends by a (supposedly) softie finesse player? Embarrassing. In the old days, he would have just punched him out à la Lou Amundson. Now all he can do is bark a little bit while running back down the floor, tail between legs.
Frank Kaminsky gets some credit here; I didn’t know he had these kind of moves. Well, I knew he did, but only against college players. Most of his interior stuff isn’t as great against NBA-caliber defenders. Luckily for him, Zach Randolph doesn’t exactly fall into that category anymore. I bet JaMychal Green doesn’t either.
Take those nice moves, add in some easy layups plus a couple of threes, and all of a sudden you have a career-high-tying 23 points for Beastminsky. Yes, I just called him Beastminsky. Because that is his nickname now. He earned on account of how much of a beast he is.
