The offense is brutal but this collectively is a team that has stood around playing off Jalen past few years.

The notion of Mikal, OG, Kat putting ball on floor and making good decisions is dangerous at best - throw in guys like Hart and that's a lot of mistakes.

Watching Jalen cross just over 1/2 court against pressure, struggle to hand off ball to Mikal almost on the 1/2 court line and then they turn around and Mikal hands it back to Jalen and still 35 feet out and nothing has happened - CRAZY.

Probably true. He is annoying, but he is a great offensive player who is clearly out of sync

I actually don't believe this - I think it's mental.

J Crawford doing the game - didn't use the injury excuse he said "Kat is in his own head".

If we are being so careful with everyone with injuries and load management - why would we be running out Kat (injured) in these games.

Ryan Rollins put up 25 in 26 minutes on near flawless shooting vs Jalen....I really don't care about him filling it up. Guard somebody.

Had to be one of the worst games by KAT in his career. Can’t be 100%. Team was awful from 3.

Could Kat purposely be tanking his trade value?

Me personally and also based on M Browns post-game comments- I don’t believe an injury is the issue.

At a minimum he’s sulking about play style and at worst he’s got wind of real trade rumors and is trying to play like ass.

KAT face expressions and the way he is playing is very strange, as if he was not forced to play for this team!

Wasn’t fun to watch. Except when Shamet’s stroke was pure.

KAT is clearly the scapegoat tonight mostly for his stupid fouls. But his frustration led to chucking.

I’m telling myself they are learning ball movement before they play cohesive and start adding off ball motion and such. Transitioning from a PnR team to a spread offense.

The lapses on defense and the chucking is painful though.

You know I gonna spin wit it

It will take them a while to adjust to a new system, but 40 second half points is bad. They are shooting like ass, especially from 3. It might turn around, but they also may not be a good shooting team. They have guys that can make 3s, but very few pure shooters that will keep high 3 pt efficiency at high volume. Like Kat and Brunson can shoot 40 pct from 3, but they tend to max out at taking 5-6 3s per game in their shot diet.

He's not mentally tough...can't depend on him in big games. Also as mentioned earlier...can't win without shooters.
