Yeah, we should rename from Kat to Tod, for Toddler.

Hack a Mitch is coming. He’s dominating the game without the ball.

Also can I say I hate Mikal getting starter mins. I don’t mind playing him in the 4th like a 6 man.

Their points are too easy and we battle for everyone. That doesn't usually win, add the refs, no chance in most games. ZERO FTs in a physical game. If they can't keep the game close to 100 pts, they can't win. This will be a 20 plus whole in the 3rd.

Pretty much.

It gets sloppy when you can't count on Hart to shoot when open.

Towns didn’t grow up playing hoops in NYC. Cause where I’m from no blood no foul. Stop crying and play harder and smarter. He has 60million reasons to play better than this, in a crucial time when the team needs him.

Sad part is 50 pt half seems like an achievement for this team
VDesai @ 5/12/2025 8:46 PM
Could be worse I guess.

The whistles killed momentum

OK that’s good

Refs out for blood against the Knicks and we haven’t played well this should already be a 30 pt blowout

ToddTT @ 5/12/2025 8:48 PM
We need a lucky second half.
DuckVader @ 5/12/2025 8:48 PM
50 pts is decent--not a winning number, but not really atrocious. But allowing an opponent to score 39 points in quarter is a bad stat, especially for a team that boasts of being "defense" oriented.

But at 56 years old, I think my leg reaction time is faster than KAT's.

The basketball courts of New Brunswick, NJ and Sonny Werblin gym are pretty cutthroat

All I see is Towns blunders on both ends when I picture how we lost momentum

The refs are a f cking joke in this game.

I dont see a lot of set plays. No real chemistry between KAT and JB.

DLeethal @ 5/12/2025 8:51 PM
Towns falling on the ground trying to draw fouls leads to a transition 3 every time … Towns is death by 1000 cuts. Missed rotations dumb offensive fouls transition D killer
martin @ 5/12/2025 8:52 PM
I’m fully in the move KAT territory.

He is failing every test

blkexec @ 5/12/2025 8:52 PM
I don’t like this team.

We have bench players getting starter mins (Hart and Mikal). DNP players who should be playing (shammet). Bench players who should be overseas (Payne). And bench players who should be starting (Mitch). A defensive head coach who lacks offensive creativity (Thibs). The highest paid flopper and complainer (Towns).

And……

Biggest surprise is how teams have taken away his dribble drive in the playoffs. KAT was practically unstoppable in the regular season. Took that part of his game away pretty easily.
