This guy wants to shoot threes instead of battle in the post like a big man

KAT is not strong enough to battle in the post against anyone that is mildly strong, and you only have so much room to make him a roll man when he's on the court with Rudy.

If Mavs start controlling their turnovers, this game will blow open in their favor

If Ant wants to be a superstar you can’t finish a fast break like an out of control spaz.

Lively fell down under the hoop and caught a pretty viscious KAT knee to the back of the head. Accidental but he was clearly concussed.

Gobert is the biggest fraud DPOY in regards to versatility. AD smokes him in that department. In this day and age why the **** is rim protection so valued when it can easily be neutralized. AD can guard 1-5 Rudy cant.

Gobert’s defence is just fouling everyone and not getting called.

If I'm the wolves I trade towns. Naz provides 70% of what he does at a fraction of a price. Get another playmaker that can help run an offense from the perimeter

Kudos to Kidd for having the balls to give playing time to two young players like Lively and Hardy over Powell and Hardaway Jr.

It's just so weird how great the Wolves looked handling the defending champs and how poor they've looked in this series.

Good lord KAT's writing a thesis on how he's simply not a championship-level #2
