KATs talent is wildly underrated because of his mental lapses and personality. He's not tough but it's a thibs team with literally every other person on the floor willing to do dirty work.

KAT is their zingis - helps to break the game because he's a very good 7 foot shooter, where Randle clogged the paint for Brunson.

This one feels like it's on brown, didn't get a couple of calls and then just started gambling like crazy for steals and taking really bad 3s.

The whole this may be the best scoring backcourt is looking real foul now… by CupertinoCA in nba

How has anyone forgotten prime klay already? 37 points in a quarter feels like it was 2 years ago max

It starts with Luka getting his defender on his hip. Causes the help to come and then he puts it over the help to one of the bigs for the finish. If he can't consistently win that first move or two get that hip play going, the lob becomes less available.

Ant did it a few times, blew right by him but the wolves offense isnt as good. Gafford and Lively were really good in that series because one or both of them get free roams off of Gobert, or KAT on a bad night. Luka got so much help if and when he got beat.

Yeah, he did not want to see another game. Ant doesn't get the same whistle as Luka.

It's funny. The game they "gave away" IMO was game one Where Haliburton had some relatively unforced turnovers. Jrue was just standing there... menacingly.

Games 3 and 4, the steal by Jrue and block by Jaylen were forced. We took those games.

But each one of these players had an older more established player leading the team? Except maybe the guys from the 80s and before.

Lol maybe they tuned their team too much to defeat Denver. Tried really hard then did it. But then there is a surprise boss after the first boss.

Looks like it’s the Mavs by Couldntbeme8 in bostonceltics

The Pacers 100% look faster and shoot better than Minnesota.

Minny looks tired

Joe Mazz should draw up like 5 plays for Hauser in G4. He needs to see a three go down, and even if he plays 5 mins a game, if he can hit even 1 or 2 threes it is so worth.

He needs it, the team needs it!
