WHen Thomas has shot > 20x per game, Bkn is 0-3.

 

[Mister Meaner]

Had to wait a couple extra games

 

[Platinum State]

Literally 10 seasons earlier

 

[getback]

and he’s never lost a finals

Gabe Vincent would’ve hit that open look last night!

[Coupé It]

Nuggets are going to WALK to the chip.

The T Wolves have the #1 defense in the league, and just beat the Celtics & Nuggets?

Yeah I mean I can’t really speak to the Nuggets game since I didn’t watch. Last night McDaniels and Ant were significantly more important than Goober.

He’s still a great rim protector, but it’s not like the Cs weren’t getting points in the paint last night with him. Shot poorly from 3 and got forced into double big with White out, which made them easier to guard since Al can’t score, and worse off defensively.

But yeah, the combo of McDaniels + Ant + Rim Protector is a really good base for them defensively. They need to get KAT out of there.

 

[Coupé It]

Joker with 22-8-8 at the half and the Nuggs still down double figures with no Murray. They definitely are not as deep as last year.

Jokic will MAKE someone a star.

They’ll be ight.

Does Gobert's presence make Kat expendable? I don't watch Wolves games, but if that's the situation, the Wolves should consider trading KAT as soon as possible and try to recover some assets from the Gobert trade.

 

[Based Jesus]

Russ needs to retire while he's still in the lead because Jokic is coming for that top spot soon

 

[pmatic]

They kinda have to move KAT before next season starts when his salary jumps to $52M. They have enough money committed to Gobert, Ant, McDaniels, Naz and that's not even including Slow-Mo or Conley/a PG.

 

[ill steelo]

On/off suggests Ant is the key to the defense.

Wolves D rating is identical whether Rudy is on the floor or not, but they’re 9 points worse when Ant sits

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Freeze time?

Hopefully they can be better than those jazz teams that always finished with the “#1 regular season defense”

Seeing ant and mcdaniels defend like they are is not a mirage. But yeah— in the playoffs it gon be different

Win or lose Lakers always fighting for their lives

I think the fact that they have both Goober and Naz definitely does. It seems like Naz minutes are pretty much always good. Feel like they’d be better with someone in the Aaron Gordon mold than they do KAT. Another ball handler couldn’t hurt either though with Conley being 36 and them not having cap space.

KAT for Keldon Johnson, who says no

lol **** dem stats. if he don't shoot no one else can or will, keep chuckin!!

 

[B Sox]

KAT for Keldon Johnson, who says no

I wouldn’t do that if I was San Antonio

 

[N41D]

I’m trying to think of trades where KAT even makes sense and that **** is TOUGH

 

[pmatic]

Warriors won't do it because all is well and the long-term ramifications, but I will still stump for CP3 and Kuminga for KAT.

 

[amitt5504]

Yea there aren’t many trades that open up for KAT. Unless it’s something out the blue with one of the NY teams

Simmons swap with KAT makes sense for both teams (disregarding contracts)

That Julius package for KAT works for NY

 

[smedroc]

lol **** dem stats. if he don't shoot no one else can or will, keep chuckin!!

Cam Thomas outchea taking 30+ shots and Wemby getting waved off by Cedi Osman
