KAT was great the first two rounds. Versus DAL he has been a complete disaster. He better show up for game 4


And he has. Salute

I am so glad that Karl-Anthony Towns made that three, because I midway through stroking out at Anthony Edwards missing a free Rudy Gobert dunk. He redeemed it by hitting Towns in the corner, even if the pass was way off the mark.

Dallas is better but the fouls called for Luka that towns not getting are insane - towns got hit going to the rim on the drop off to Rudy - Luka loses ball in mid court and the ref like that must be a foul lol

What opened up the 3pters for Kat this game he started in the post, off the catch and went inside even off a couple misses. Made layins, at rim finishes. Then went to the 3 later.

The other games he started like he was a 6'10 Klay or Michael Porter Jr. Even if they were "good" looks he showed no aggressiveness to start the games just settled for 3s

Can the Wolves at least close out one game?

Towns does, he is unfortunately the only guy (other than Conley occasionally) that consistently hits Rudy Gobert. The big man connection is great, I feel like Minnesota underutilizes it a ton.

Maybe picking up bad fouls is Towns' super power to play well offensively.

Kyrie is small and at anytime can have a bad game because it's so difficult to be great at 6'1 every night.

All the skill in the world, but little room for error as the smallest man on the floor.
