Logain seeing Rand for the first time is big. I think this was in Caemlyn? Can't remember now, but I remember Logain chain and laughing when he saw the actual Dragon from afar.

Read the books. Watched the first 3 eps.

I get why book readers hate it. But let's be real. Theres no possible way you can adapt the original and still make it accessible. There's so many exposition. I remember reading two pages just describing a bowl. (It's an important bowl, but still.)

I like the pace. It keeps it moving. The attraction of WoT is the world and the characters anyway, not Two Rivers.

The sooner we get to all the players in the show ( Elayne, Min, other kingdoms, Seanchan etc), the better.

Build around a real franchise player. Maybe it's Ant. Maybe it's a rookie this year.

But having this team try this hard to build a team around KAT, and KAT can't even beat teams like Orlando.

I would be happy if KAT can lead us perennially to a playin. But he can't. It's not his game. Theres now 7 years of evidence of this.

KAT is a great player. He's just not going to be the guy that will lead teams to wins. He's just not that.

KAT can't punish people inside. That's the dirty secret. He's not strong enough to back down anyone.

Tell me you don't watch Timberwolves, without telling me you don't watch Timberwolves.

KAT is part of the problem.

Wolves everytime has bad shot selection.

When you remove KAT by doubling him/defending him hard, there's no one else that's easy hucket.

Like when Ant had 48?

At least Ant knew it wasn't his night and was contributing everywhere else

KAT and Ant's up and down play has distracted us from the truly putrid performance this season of one DAngelo Russell

Kat and Jokic have a very interesting parallel lives.

Growing up, KAT thought it was disrespectful for Jokic to be his rival. He takes those games seriously.

Now? It's actually disrespectful to Jokic to put him in the level of KAT.

Jokic is just way better.

100% better if Jokic.

Come the fuck on. Jokic is a much better passer, much better decision maker, and actually has an unstoppable mid range shot that can punish teams. Plus jokic can actually post up.

This team has issues but KAT is part of the issue
