Coach Nick: The Disturbing Disappearance Of KARL ANTHONY TOWNS

Kat is soft. It took Capela stuffing the **** out of him in the first 5 minutes to get him running to the 3pt line.

I predict he does more post up and gets stripped by CP and Harden coming off the weak side to double.

Either way this is an example of the sorry big men the league has created.

 

There was one possession that Ariza man handled Town just made my day. Its that good!

 

Way he carries himself is Dwert'esque. Good in his early years, then developed into being soft and not seeming to care.

 

I'm not feeling this thread

Throw me a Max Kellerman thread @Shaq2Yao

 

1 game really?

 

Let’s not jinx him !

 

He's going to put 30+ tonight, just saying.

 

Harden's defense against The Village was pretty impressive. I hope Max Kellerman took note of that.

 

I can't tell if Towns is just an idiot or if that is really, really bad offensive coaching.

 

Yeah - I think KAT had a bad game, but he killed us during the regular season. We are going to need our non-stars to hit shots to win comfortably.

 

I understand the criticism but i mean, as today we're talking about the first playoff game of a 22 years old player against one of the two best teams in the league...

 

Gonna have deja vu of LMA

 

Without watching the video, I can tell you KAT's been grossly outworked & outhustled by Capela EVERY single game this season against Minny. It's been actually hard to watch at times. You call tell this kid's work ethic & motor isn't where it should be

 

I agree, That was KAT's first ever playoff game. I'm sure Tibs thought the best way to counteract the Rockets offense was to change things up. I was thinking they hid him and kept it close throughout the game only to unleash him in the 4th to hopefully take the lead, but that never happened.

 

I'm with you. Wondering if they thought CC on their guards was a better match-up. CC has nice feet for a big, bad call by them if that was the plan.

 

That’s gonna take like 3/4 of their possessions.. I’ll take it!!

 

Yeah, except for those four times we beat the holy f$#k out of them.

 

There are a lot of people in the Wolves front office that are not sure Towns has it in him to bang inside.

Also, some of this was coaching, they wanted Towns on the perimeter as he is one of their best shooters.

 

This a plague spreading throughout the league where young big men are being steered towards becoming spotup 3-point shooters instead of dominant low post players.

Like Hakeem says, "It's all about the footwork."

You can see Capela has taken those words to heart and that's why he outruns other bigs with his speed and is able to pull of the Eurostep on fools like KAT.
