Deni Avdija on defending Julius Randle: “For me he’s not that tough to guard…Aggressive…Picks his spots…Big guy, going in the lane, getting fouls, that’s about it”. Randle scored 39 points against the Wizards.

    Kuzma looks like he’s taking his wookie costume off.

    Randle vs Avdija (career): 19/30 from the field 3/6 from 3 and 10 assists

    it’s okay to admit he’s a tough matchup bro he’s all-nba for a reason

    I don’t understand these players and their dishonesty. OG locks up Maxey and Maxey says he wasn’t even thinking about him. Randle eats Avdija alive but “he’s not that tough to guard.”

    If we ever end up winning a championship (knock on wood) every player on the losing team is gonna spend their whole media availability telling the world how shit we are.

  4. If Randle isn’t tough to guard, what are you Deni?

  5. OstrichDelicious587

    Embarrassing response. Y’all got cooked for 39 but he’s “not that tough for me to guard” fuck off man. Deni not only do you make yourself sound stupid bc you clearly could not guard that motherfucker but you’re subtly throwing your teammates under the bus, you’re in a sense blaming them for Julius busting your asses. What a clown. It also pissed me off tn how he kept begging his coach for a review after in every instance, very clearly fouling people but I digress.

    man this guy has just completely lost the plot. i dont know if hes in denial or if hes just a moron.

  7. Bro who can actually guard randle? Maybe embid but only when his shot is off. Randle is a threat from range, midrange and is a 250 pound freight train…. Only randle can stop randle from scoring

  8. 6 wins in the season take that loser talk somewhere else

  9. RandomWilly

    Clown 😂def still salty over their own arena getting overrun by Knicks fans

    Fuck this guy, in my opinion that shove on Brunson when Brunson made the shot for the and one was a dirty, non basketball play that could’ve been dangerous

    I feel like this is kinda a compliment to Randle.

    Obviously not a mind reader but I think what Avdija *meant* was that he’s a pretty straight forward defensive assignment. Like there is not a whole lot of thinking required to guard him.

    So basically you know exactly how Randle wants to attack you. But as we all know, just because you know what’s coming doesn’t mean you have any ability to stop it. As evidenced last night.

    Julius has finally realized he’s stronger than 95% of the league so he’s just going right the fuck at ppl.

    not fucking around no more

    If Julius isn’t tough to guard, then why did they go zone for the entire second half?

  13. mista_rager

    Dude was bitching at the refs all game. He got bodied so many times

  14. Evening-Top-1055

    Maxey is a bum who can’t admit he got shut down by OG. Also, who tf if Deni Avdija anyways?

  15. Tradeandworkout

    Randle shot 13 of 23. Dude gave up 39 AND Randle shot above average. If it was easy to guard Randle, what the hell does hard to guard look like? 64 points on 23 of 31 shooting? Damn kid.

  16. Agitated_Smoke538

    Deni about to be the Randle haters favorite player

  17. datatadata

    Let them say what they want. They still want to act like they are true NBA caliber players haha. They are not that different from the Pistons if you look at the stats.

  18. justsomedude4202

    He’s not hard to guard. Basically he got 39 points only because he gets to whatever spot he wants and we cant defend him without fouling. So yeah, not tough to guard at all.

  19. How you let kuzma be the mature one lol

    I could be wrong but no one in China’s league plays like Julius so he’ll be fine there

  20. petshopb0y

    He’s Israeli, he’s used to denying obvious truths

  21. Interesting-Piece612

    Kuzma looking like Chrollo from Hunter x Hunter

  22. firstbreathOOC

    What an embarrassing take. You just got smoked, your team sucks. Reminds me of how Kuzma tried to pile in on the Pistons by saying “nobody wants to be that team” bro you have 3 more wins than them lmao

  23. That’s fine keep the disrespect going. If feeds the team.

  24. Everyone just living in their own reality these days. Par for the course.

  25. ReleaseTheBlacken

    “He’s not that tough to guard. I give up 39 points to scrubs on the reg. Randle ain’t special.” Legit how dumb he sounds.

  26. TacomaTuesdays2022

    Media reaching too hard with these stupid questions.

  27. iamdanabnormal

    Deni, would you care to clarify these comments?

  28. cdoggg007

    He held Randle to under 40 just like Brooks did to LeBron one time so there’s that
