Gotta show this man some love. Don’t know what we will do without him. Especially with Mitch and Precious hurt.

No but Scott Foster crack refereed and tried like heck to lose us the game

kat soft but 13 rebounds? 11.2 on the season. Played tough once he knew 4 fouls in the 4th is not that bad. Shut down bam. I’m impressed.

It may be what happened over in Minny, he was the 1st option, the whole team wanted him to be #1 option, then Ant came in and the team shifted and wanted Ant to be #1, and KAT willingly relinquished it.

Just keep feeding him, but it's important for JB to keep scoring too without making KAT feel he should relinquish it back to JB.

Going to have to do what Lakers did with AD. Gotta force it. I have a feeling he’s earning Brunson trust. In the timeout he told Kat he’s getting him the ball. Knowing he was close to 40.

In big games especially playoffs we need him out there. He has always been silly foul prone. That worries me.

The entire team was doing it. It was pissing me off. Have to put some emphasis on that. Use the wingspan. They should not have gotten so many fouls and open 3s.

So... I looked it up, more specifically Towns vs Bam. Now I know Bam is a beast and well respected but I see you guys have a healthier reverence for him than I and my fellow wolves fans do, after looking up this stat I see why. Bam has never been an issue for us
Glad to see you’re still a KAT fan!
I was generous when I said 75 percent. Got damn! KAT is 1000 percent a HEAT KILLER.

For those who don't want to look. KAT is winning this battle 11-1 and its not like he has always had a way better team. Wolves have been trash until recent years.

I also liked OG aggressive 3s not just looking to take wide open ones. Theres potential there. Each game I’m seeing more.

Mikal began the momentum change when he started getting hot in the 3rd

Agreed.

2 offensive fouls is unacceptable. That's a lack of focus

I’d almost always agree with what you wrote, but tonight my only complaint is those fouls weren’t hard enough. After all, this is the Heat, a team that likes to injure us. We need somebody they fear.

Clyde_Style · Post #177 » by **Clyde_Style** » Thu Oct 31, 2024 3:12 am

That last half of the 4th quarter was talent beating inferior talent. Miami is OK, but they don't have nearly the talent we do.

When our guys click they're going to be hard to handle. I'm including Hart in that category, because his will and effort is his talent and he fcking rocked this game. When he's doing his thing and KAT is purring and Bridges is swooping, Brunson is closing and Deuce is Juicing there's no stopping us

When we're out of sync and bricking we look bad, but that will happen less and less over time until we are consistently a threat offensively.

just finished watching. good rally in the 3rd and dominant offense from towns secured the game but we have so much work to do still.

too many dumb fouls from towns, we were jacking up 3's in the first half but nobody could hit anything. bridges started off terribly, like 1-7 or 1-8 from 3. we need to get him his midrange looks early to get him in rhythm. brunson for the second straight game did not have it for most of the game and I think that will continue to be a problem throughout the season. he's a 6 ft tall score first PG with the least explosive athleticism on the court. teams are learning more and more how to make him uncomfortable so it'll be up to him to find his teammates and for them to deliver

thankfully we force fed towns all game and he was hot tonight because without him this was a 20pt loss

also, why the hell is sims still first center off the bench? just when you think thibs learns something for once it turns out huk only got time because jericho said his stomach hurts or something.

Post #179 » by **Capn'O** » Thu Oct 31, 2024 3:14 am

Thibs decision to play Sims over Huk was wild. I thought Sims 4th quarter minutes were gonna lose us the game but then the KAT came back the very next play and that was that.

Mitch is almost a theory at this point. He would be nice against the cavs or 6ers but it's going to be hard to rely on him being there when we need him. I'd rather get og/mikal some relief and develop huk. I just can't trust mitchs health anymore.

thats fair maybe at some point its a 2 for 1 type deal where we can nba a backup big and a swing to fit into his salary.

There are certainly teams as you pointed out Philly and CLE that he will be super valuable against and those are two teams we might likely face so I'm not running to give him away but I do see your point about not being able to trust him even when he gets back. Team might need a more reliable option off the bench.

Plus I'm worried about OG's health. He is playing heavy mins and is so key to our success. Getting him a reliever would be really beneficial to our playoff success. Either way it's nice to either have mitch or move him for some help

We’re going to get a guy just for that. His name is Precious !
