it's not an agenda when you're proven right. good morning reign.....or afternoon where you are.

good morning sham!
I am curious what you were thinking about KATs game 1 performance, since I missed your posts it seems like

You think they care? They have agendas to run
it's getting real silly....the coaches game plan was to "not" feed kat now ?
and don't complain about my opinion to me in 500 words like this guy did above, because i sure as sh*t aint reading it
the agendas are crazy.

he was great in that 4th quarter. he actually tried to play defense and did so pretty well. which lets me know he could have been doing that all year, and frankly his whole career, and didn't. what does that say about him ?

agree, he played great! he's going to make his 3rd all nba team after becoming an all star for the 5th time earlier this season.
Still can't believe we got him so cheap what about you?

i notice you didn't answer the question
i think centers that are terrible at defense, no matter how they good they are on offense, limit your team. you're never getting that far. jokic is the only guy who has ever made it work and he's gonna go down as a top 10 player (maybe better) of all time. kat isn't that. so just like the wolves realized, unless you move him to the 4 you're going nowhere. but maybe they actually did that because they have an agenda

if someone double or triple teams you that means someone is open. that becomes an advantage. that's what you want in basketball. what are we doing here ?
Not when there's a guy standing on the perimeter too shook to shoot and not capable of taking the centers opposing coaches are putting on him off the dribble, get to the hole. Then the ball just moves around, gets back to the only guy ballsy enough to heave a shot at the end of the clock, and he takes it.
That's our **** offense. Josh's man is doubling, and never going back to him, because they are fine with him bricking shots and getting turnovers from his stupid jump passes and terrible ball handling. His best attribute is finishing in transition, which is why he'd be awesome with the bench.
If we get by this team, Boston's entire game plan is going to be around Josh Hart taking shots. I spoke about this after game one of the season, this is what they do to every team. Anybody who dares to come inside will face a wall, and Josh will be left open by Horford to jack up whatever he wants. We will be destroyed. This logic that the guy is open...ok...sure...go ahead...take 40 shots. The Celtics dare you.
We are not going anywhere until this coach realizes that a two bit role player shouldn't be starting and getting 40 plus **** minutes a game for his measly single digit points and bull **** chase down without boxing anybody out and leaving corner threes wide open rebounds, especially when you have a 7 foot monster sitting on the bench that was handled with bubble wrap all season for this time of the year.
His best coaching comes when it's his type of team on the floor, he has the pieces but he's not using them because Lord knows wtf Josh has on him. They need to get back to playing with size, crashing the boards and playing bully ball. This cutesy fake 5 out lineup he has out there is going to be his demise. Put Kat and OG back in their natural positions, and have the best offensive rebounder in the NBA get your point guard's misses....because you have nothing else on offense.
There is no purpose of playing Kat at the 5 only TO GET OUT REBOUNDED BY 14. You do that to draw out the other team's center and create driving lanes for your guards and make it easier for them on offense. THEY ARE PUTTING THE CENTER ON YOUR BUM ASS SMALL FORWARD and still preventing this. This is not going to work with him in there. Put the guy in there that can give them the same taste of their medicine and lock up the rim, because their center is not on the perimeter anyway like he's supposed to because the other coach is playing chess with the matchups.
Jesus **** Christ. Am I (Please Use More Appropriate Word)? Is this coach that brilliant that I'm too stupid to know wtf he's doing? Even with my points, I still don't like it. With this amount of talent, there has to be something better than playing struggle basketball. We aren't these Pistons or last year's injury riddled team, yet seem to have to play the same way for any success.

in all honesty I agree that its is more difficult to win when your PG and C are weak defenders. no doubt about that. tho, if you have 3 good to great defenders to cover them.. it is still possible to win it all. I just think that they (meaning Leon and his crew) severely overrated Mikal (AND Josh!) on the defensive end. you agree?

mikal was overrated in every way and josh probably shouldn't be starting with his offensive limitations in the first place. but who else is there to start ? duece is too small. you wanna start landry shamet ?
and i don't know if you could even get, and afford, to have 3 og level defenders would it be enough to make you good defensively.
but even besides that, i really don't think that jalen and kat are gonna be a good enough offensive tandem to win it all with their defensive limitations. neither one is top 5 player. you would need an mvp level talent to overcome that. kat is a good offensive player but good enough to win it all with alongside brunson ? i don't think so. the knicks needed to hold out for someone better. and if they never came, at least you have all your picks and can pivot in a couple years.

Brunson/Mikal/OG/KAT/MITCH sending Hart to the bench.
I would think you would be all about that lineup.

i think he will do that eventually. coaches just don't rush these things.
