I'm with you, I hate them as much as I hate DLo's "3-seconds-of-the-shot-clock-contested-3-point-shots-from-the-parking-lot." :banghead:

I'd actually forgotten about the 60.

Take last difficult shots in the clutch even if they will ruin your shooting stats. You are already one of the greatest shooters in NBA history.

This, plus please, please, PLEASE, shoot the most 3s of anyone on the team. At least 6 per game and I cannot stress the word LEAST enough. I would be fine with 8 or even 10. Trust me our team is big enough to rebound the misses now. You won the 3 point shooting contest and are the best shooting big ever. PLEASE shoot.

Very excited to see KAT unlock a part of his game that we haven't seen next to Gobert.

I've always been on the "KAT is a 4" hill. I do believe he has the footspeed to guard 4s, I always thought he was actually a little light on his base which is why he struggled with the bigger centers, his advantage was always his skills against big men and not physical power.

On the flip side, The Clippers had Batum on him and it seemed to frustrate him a lot, BUT they also double the **** out of him as early as they could, so Finchy needs to figure that out

Yes and yes … good post. He don’t have the hips/legs to excel on the block and I agree Finch needs to manage this roster a little more now to capitalize

Batum is an absolute menace against kat. Big enough to body him, fast enough to be a step quicker and experienced enough to know how to fluster kat mentally.

Savvy vet, maybe gobert can talk his French buddy and tell him to take it down a notch

Not too worried about it, but it's worth noting since I hadn't seen it mentioned around here yet.

If Towns opts out of $59M in 2027-28, I think it's safe to say that the 5 seasons before that were almost certainly a major win for the Wolves.

The Player Option also give KAT the option to opt out and resign for an even bigger contract, assuming the cap skyrockets with new media deals and the like... give him a access to that bump a year earlier... if he wants it that is. I'm guessing the Wolves FO doesn't plan for him to go anywhere anytime soon, even in that option year tbh , and assuming things work the way they envision, he won't have any desire to move on.... but one never knows.
