Towns is abysmal in drop dear lord. We already know this but seeing a teams game plan literally be to go at it over and over and we make no adjustment is concerning.

can we just switch the **** screen why is giving a wide open 3 a legit defensive scheme from Thibs

just have KAT guard LeBron and make him take a contested long 2

giving up wide open 3's is how you lose games.

he never learns.

I feel like our feed should turn grainy when he goes 1v1. Looks like we're watching an 80s SF try to cook.

KAT is getting doubled every time. He will start to find the open man in the 2nd half. He's too smart for that.
