It just pisses me off. No Towns is not the biggest badass tough guy in the league. He's a kind person and he is not the strongest big, he can get pushed around, he's not physically the biggest guy either. So yea, he's not Mr. Knock heads bruiser. That said, because Jimmy basically came out and said "SAWFT!" when he was unhappy and wanted a new contract, everyone just jumped down Towns throat and labeled him a chump. Dude isn't soft, dude balls every night. He has flaws and he has deficiencies but he's a damn fine players who brings it and does a lot on a floor. People act like he's trash after the Butler situation and its so frustrating to see.

On pace for 16 boards sounds fine to me. Other need so step up rebounding. This is a new thing. With small ball 4. Which is why happy seeing OG get 5.

OG is our starting 4...that is the way the the NBA is going. Nearly all of OG's minutes will be at the 4 this year.

rarely teams play 2 bigs at a time anymore.

He's not a big. We a small ball team, the reason it's small is he's not a big he's a wing.


we are a small ball team. And he's playing almost all his minutes at the 4. So name precious the 3rd or the 4th "big" is just semantics because of the style we are running.

when Mitch comes back he will have a very small roll if any. Thats the point. Mitch is going to get 20ish mins off bench. KAT will be C and play some overlap with Mitch. And OG and KAT remaining minutes will be at the 4.

Nearly any 4 OG can guard him. He's actually one of the best at guarding Giannis...he will guard Randle he will guard Zion. Most teams don't even run true PFs anymore.

It ain't semantics. If we're down a man or two we're not sliding OG to the 5 like we would a big. We're playing Sims or signing Taj when he gets cut. So OG isn't a big, and Precious as a 3rd big is an issue from a team building standpoint. Right now he's our 2nd big which is a situation nobody should want to be in.

it is because you probably consider Randle a big and Zion a big...and I will tell your right now your defense would be way worse with Randle or Zion at the 5 than OG at the 5. If you can defend the position I don't care what they call you big or not big.

That is why its semantics.

Nah people labeled KAT soft mainly because of his interior defense and voice if we being real.

Hilariously enough he's anything but soft on offense. I'd even say he needs to be softer, he does too much sometimes lol.

Still think the key to this season is keeping OG upright until Mitch is healthy since we’re so thin at forward.

its a bad news actually if Hart was offered and the opp teams refuse to take him

otherwise if he doesnt improve his offensive game, he will get traded in a record time anyway...

He was talking to someone behind the bench. I think Precious was looking at the person.
