I'd bet every hair on my ass they make it a focal point to go at him and get him in foul trouble, you know that scrub will be aggressive trying to play over his head, my boy the corleys made his triumphant return into "the narratives have begun" thread, check it out it's some good stuff :lol:


KAT picks up stupid fouls by shoving people unnecessarily and responds to the foul trouble by playing no defense at all. Then he has an overly dramatic, confused reaction to his plight. Someone needs to address him in the film room in front of the team. Fantastic player with a pea brain.

Very annoying man, like STUOID fouls, but I feel he's gonna bring it tonight

eveybody wants him to play like porzingis but he's actually not that kind of shooter. kp gets his shot off quick. you give him a split second of daylight and it goes up. kat has a slow release and he's almost flat footed when he shoots the 3. he needs time to get it off. it's not easy to get him enough time to shoot.

The Timberwolves tried to use him like KP against Dallas and he had a historic brick fest :lol: I’m glad the Knicks are actually trying to use him like a big man. It’s just that KAT plays soft so he can’t handle posting up smaller players.


he's having a brick fest this series which is why he's not shooting it as much. he's 2-14 of 3. they don't give him enough daylight to shoot. he basically needs to be wide open. they're a great defensive team. like i said, it's not easy to get him enough time to shoot.

I do think KAT has avg release speed but the prob is, he hardly jumps when shooting so he is easily blockable

Going out of town to a college graduation this weekend. Could’ve been a relaxing weekend if they would’ve won the last game. Dinner with family, etc.

That’s all out the window now

KAT does put in work in the post but the Celtics defense structurally helps off of Hart with length converging into the paint. That's how Kornet got so many blocks. KAT is actually being reasonably aggressive, and if anything he should be looking to pass more when the help comes (often from the blind side). But again I think the big problem is the lineup itself, with Hart being treated like Russell Westbrook by Mazzula.

I think Hart's minutes should coincide with Mitch's, not KAT's. And KAT can floor space in the double-big lineup, and post up when he's the 5 in non-Hart lineups.

I think this is a bad matchup for KAT to be productive in terms of numbers, but he needs to be efficient and he wasn't on Wednesday. He also needs to cut down the stupid fouls. On defense, he should never be used in drop (or sparingly). He's solid in a switching scheme but atrocious in drop.

One thing I love about this place is that we're all emotionally stable and we never overreact to wins and losses.

We need a 40/20 game from KAT or at least a 30/15. I want his @ss to wake up and dominate the little guys guarding him.

He's got to accept what the referees are smoking. Like if they don't give him the call when the barrels to the rim, don't try it again, and then don't pick up a dumb frustration foul on the other side of the ball. Just shoot over people - lean use the body weight and stay grounded - or better yet slam that s*** on their heads
