KAT was an absolute deer in headlights during his playoff round against the Rockets. Was that his last playoff appearance?

He keeps leaving the "s" off Towns as well, and it's really bothering me for some reason

I been watching the league a long a$$ time. Hard pressed to remember two more impressive B2B blocks by each team. That said Batum is so soft

This is like Porzingis bad lol

Respectfully, this take is wrong. Batum is the best defender against Towns in the NBA. Towns dominates bigger players because of his speed.


Then it's the right take... Towns can't dominate smaller players because he's soft lol

The play-in is so fun. Win or lose, I haven’t had fun watching a Timberwolves game like this since I was like five.

Exactly.
They're also doubling and tripling him everytime he touches the ball near the paint. Everyone here is telling him to man up, toughen up, post up HARDER. But it's clear that he needs to play smarter, get some open shots, try to use the defensive attention to help the team better.

Sure but it would be even better if refs weren’t so damn soft handing out techs so easily. These are playoff games nobody is paying to see you, just tell them to cut it out and move on no need to throw techs out like candy.

The thing is, he generally is able to score over the top, but Batum is so strong and lengthy, that it is hard for Towns to take him on (especially with Clippers’ trapping scheme).

The Clippers specifically have Towns’ number, this year. No other than consistently clamps him this hard.

Injured.

And for the Wolves, Taurean Prince out is a sneaky big deal.
