Kat has a way of giving utter joy (buckets) and terror (fouls, missed bunnies, illegal picks all night and unneeded shoves all night)

He’s so damn good on offense when he’s going and it’s what makes the fouls so damn frustrating.

Barkley just grilled him on those fouls in the post game when KAT joined the TNT guys. He played it off at first ("Why are you making those dumb fouls?" "God only knows") but seemed uncomfortable as they kept pressing it. Admitted it hurts the team and he's got to get better about it.

Have grown to love Kat but he's all talk and will be right back to stupid fouling come Sat.

I don't think so. I watched that interview and I thought he actually took it seriously. We need some good vibes from you man!

Crazy how good of a 1st step Kat has given he's 7 foot, awkward and slow as molasses --- he just get's by everyone even forwards.

Come on man - I've been posting Kat stats about him beasting all over -- I just don't think a 10 year vet is going to change his stripes because Barkley ask's him.

spoiler alert:

We will win game 6

there are many players on the Pacers starting with M. Turner where KAT is in their nightmares.

All of our guys are at least playing with confidence. We get a consistent game from our team, and cut down stupid turnovers and we win.

OK - I will stay positive and assume we play our best game of the year Sat.

We shot 27% from 3 and 68% from the line. We KNOW this team can shoot 40/50/90. Gotta get them legs back under them.

Barkley just asked him about it, and I got the sense KAT was taking it to heart. Another area with some slight improvement, good things can happen. He needs to be on the court and touching the ball a lot

Hope so. SVG correctly called out the chain of events after KATs foul trouble which led to like a 10-0 run and Precious Ahiuwa minutes. Thibs worked wonders getting Mitch to play without fouling. KAT might be too far gone in that regard.

Did we revert to switching everything or did we stick with running Brunson away from Hali and Kat in drop?

Felt like early Brunson was involved in some one on one defense and really worked hard and held up (early in the game)

Looked very similar to last game tbh. Brunson would show and they would switch back to Mikal. They were just crisper and I’m sure the second line of defense was crowding and doing what they were supposed to do. But we didn’t really switch unless a last resort tonight it seemed to me. Have to acknowledge Nesmith missed a bunch of 3s and Nembhard did nothing out there.

We were more physical w Hali too. Stayed in contact w him a lot. That Slowed things down IMO
