Randles end of the fourth quarter he had 1 basket in 3 tries, 1 rebound and 1 foul. Overtime he was 1 of 2 points, 2 rebounds i foul and 1 turnover. Why take Obi out? Obi needs 20 mins. per game!

Because Randle is being paid 120M and Thibs thinks Obi's D isn't good enough, while overlooking all the bad D played by Randle and other starters.
