@chrisdavisii9034 2 года назад

KAT needs to step up. In my opinion, the Timberwolves were tired that game. You can see it in the 4th quarter. They put it everything they had early in the game with the big lead. No timeouts called on a 21-0 run, which means more energy drained. Once 4th quarter hit, there was Bad glass cleaning (too many second chances), no screen and rolls, inconsistency on perimeter shots. That’s just from what I saw.

@mrudhul696 2 года назад

KAT is riding that 3 pt title wave and things he is Shaq with a jump shot. Pat bev things he can pest his way to a championship. Edwards is the guy who cares and trying the best.

Bruh pat Beverly is the reason they got off to a great start. I'm a grizzlies fan lol. Kat just soft as he'll. And the team was dumb by not taking advantage being up +20 by having Kat go inside and pound the ball. That mane sawft as he'll. They kept shooting jumpers. Meanwhile the grizz kept attacking the paint and making timely jumpers here and there. Once they were within 16 they 3 ball started falling. It was a wrap for them. Coach not calling a timeout to stifle the run was also the backbreaker.

Perk, youre wrong on ANT being the face/franchise (this season) of the Wolves. Even though he has a better potential to be greater than Kat, even though he plays better than Kat, let's not remove the *responsibility* off of Towns. Ant is just on his 2nd year, Kat on the other hand is paid so much and on his 5th or 6th season. This situation is not the same with rookie Mitchel were there is no prominent older star on the Jazz that he became their star right away.

@sakthithanigai5036 2 года назад

Listen man. I thought the Twolves had 0 shot, and they hella young so they’ll be back. KAT will hopefully take this to heart and work to get better, with what he’s gone through in his life we want him to succeed. But they lost 2 25 point leads. That’s unacceptable. You gotta get up that big and crush the Grizzlies throat and make sure they can’t come back.

@@thisistheway3812 Timberwolves defense is horrible. They were the 24th rated defense this year and the Grizzlies were the number 1 scoring offense. You are expected to do this. And the fact that you couldn't get it going until the 4th was disappointing with KAT not playing with foul trouble. But one thing good about Minnesota is the offense ranked number 2 and the fact that they couldn't keep a 20 point lead when their offense was rolling before and their offense got shutdown in the fourth was more of a meltdown by the Timberwolves than Memphis hustling.

KAT is kind of like Boogie Cousins before he had gotten hurt. Puts up numbers, big body, plays big.... but never translates into W's. Wolves aren't going anywhere. Wolves if they're smart should get a new/experienced coach/trade KAT + Russell and get great pieces in return that would be great for Edwards.
