He is failing every test

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.

Would a KAT + 3 1sts that we would have to locate for Giannis makes sense if it were possible?

12-0 run in 1 minute to close out the 1st quarter killed crowd and momentum.

The whistles killed momentum

KAT needs the right system to compliment his offense. Instead he gets an offensively challenged coach in Thibs. Towns needs structure and organization plus surrounded by defensive players and not play center.

KAT too soft at center and too slow at PF.

Towns for Durant is probably the move. You could start Mitch with that lineup and try to load up on another defensive big.

You ever played with a guy in pickup basketball where he’s only good at scoring. What happens when he can’t score? Hes worthless.

We have bench players getting starter mins (Hart and Mikal). DNP players who should be playing (shammet). Bench players who should be sent back to 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

And back after the commercial break?

Mitch can’t play starter minutes. His ankles are made out of styrofoam.

Trade everybody we’re so flawed.

Unless we win tonight. Then forget I said that.

Id find a big like Kessler. Bring Mitch off the bench. Best chance to have him ready for the postseason.

KAT needs to wake the **** up and realize it’s the playoffs. He’s just doing stupid stuff out there.

I can live with his defense on Tatum at the 3point line with decent contests but we can all tell when he is going to make an offensive and defensive foul a mile away. And stop falling over.

See I’m the opposite. If we win trade everyone. Get some value in return. If we lose, oh well can’t say we not used to that.

Seriously this is a good team to make it this far with such a quick roster turnaround. This only exposes what we are lacking. Leon is making calls as we speak.

Great defensive adjustment Thibs made on Tatum. Oh wait, he didn't.

Worst defender I have ever seen.
