      @Pierre Causemybladdersempty terrible take, bird and kd far from bigs, and I clearly said if durk at any point shot better than 40% from three then he got it

      @frederick veloz I always tell people the greatest are not the greatest just because they did it in the regular season . Dirk was shooting like he was in the regular season in the PLAYOFFS too and taking more shots than he was during the regular season … at this point Towns is what Jimmy Buckets said he was . I don’t care what he can do in the regular season …

      @Grichka Tayou I’m not saying kat is a great or even better than dirk, dirk is a legend but regular season or not for a center to shoot over 40% from the 3 is impressive af ! Has dirk ever regular season or playoffs shot better than 40% from 3? Lol that’s all I’m asking and everyone keeps coming up with something that doesn’t relate

    • Grichka Tayou

      April 23, 2022 at 12:53 pm

      @frederick veloz because we don’t care about his 40% from 3 right now … how many is he taking in the playoffs and he’s making them at what clip ?
      That is what matters when you are great and when comparing great players …

    • frederick veloz

      April 23, 2022 at 12:58 pm

      @Grichka Tayou Lmaoo being great and being the best big man 3 point shooter are 2 different things, I’m not arguing who is a greater big man

    Y’all are making it seem better than it was. I was there. Season ticket owner and, it was a fkin 50-13 run from 14:37 left in the 2nd half. Stephen A is right, for the first time ever, Johnny K asked him that question. So ya know what, Jimmy was fkin right. Get him away from 🐜 ASAP, trade him and D-Lo to whoever’s dumb enough to take a 7 foot 6 year old and, his babysitter ASAP.

      Honestly Minnesota has so much potential they just need a grown up in the training and coaching staff.

    • Karter Trontvet

      April 22, 2022 at 3:59 pm

      @Ajwadd Anwarr no one cares anymore about potential 7 years into the league

      Grizz fan here. I agree. Build around ant now and give up on the KAT project. Get as much as you can now while he could be considered in his “prime”

    A lot! Only taking 4 shots is unacceptable

  15. INGLÉS URBANO

    April 22, 2022 at 2:55 pm

    He a great offensive player that can easily average 30 PPG but he fear to shoot, he took 7 shots in game 2 and only 4 shots in game 3 , that’s pathetic, how the heck you are taking less than 8 shots in playoffs games , you’re supposed to take at least 18 per night

    • Ant Defender

      April 23, 2022 at 8:43 pm

      It’s on the coach to make sure that he gets enough shots

    • Ant Defender

      April 23, 2022 at 8:44 pm

      I’m wishing the best for Towns tonight, I hope he turns it around

    • INGLÉS URBANO

      April 24, 2022 at 1:44 am

      @Ant Defender yeah they gave him the Ball tonight and score 33 points

    t-wolves are one of youngest team, not to mention,
    they haven’t been to playoff in year.
    even if they fail, advancing 1st round,
    this will be great experience for them grow.

    April 22, 2022 at 3:49 pm

    This guy soft like charmin. How are you only taking 4 shots in a playoff game?

    Deangelo Russell deserves equal blame like KAT he’s been traded by 2 championship franchises why can’t people figure out he’s a bad teammate and a headcases

    to me towns shooting 4 shot int he game is a coach fault he does not have many touches end he do not complain… i think something is going on between kat and the coach..he has to take 25 shott
    at game…somthing is rong..wiht the coaching sistem ..in the last 6 minute he never has the ball in his hands but all the others player shoot the ball ..bad coachig..simple

    • Grichka Tayou

      April 23, 2022 at 11:01 am

      Have you ever heard Shack saying when push comes to Shove a BIG MAN has to put his hand up (when he does everybody on the court see’s that hand because that’s the biggest person on the court ) and just say to the little guys GIVE ME THE BALL !
      Quit making excuses for Towns , he was hiding , he has been hiding … After the play in game everyone said he should have taken more shots , you think he didn’t hear that ??

      During the playoffs , I repeat the playoffs ! Players who want to be great live for this part of the season . KAT is shooting less in the playoffs ! 4 shots ! That’s not the coach that’s him hiding …

    April 23, 2022 at 11:07 am

    Remember when people used to say that KP and towns are better than Booker? Lmao
