Had to Euro?
KAT had backline help, if Covington were there to help space the floor Buckets or Wiggins wouldn't be there to help on doubles, and are you really going to act like Young Gawd didn't see a ton of doubles.
KAT was out there for 48 minutes, in those 48 minutes Embiid had 28/12/8, doesn't matter how you try to spin that. especially since the Young Gawd shut his shyt down on the other end.


Meh...Lebron and Curry bring it upon themselves and so does Sabo.
Leonard is one superstar that is un-hate able.


How are nikkas disrespecting KAT in this thread like this? He's going to be a top 5 player in the game. He's also younger than Embiid and has less injury concerns going forward. Right now he's playing for a clueless offensive coach who has him taking the 3rd most shot attempts a game on the team despite him being by far their best/most efficient offensive player and he's STILL leading them in scoring and is the main reason why they're a top 10 offensive team.
Embiid is the better player because he's elite on both ends, but Towns is flat out more efficient offensively right now. Less turnover prone too. If I'm not mistaken, KAT bodied him when they played last season.
Dirk wasn't a good defender and he was MVP caliber. Towns is elite enough offensively that even if he just slightly improves defensively over the next few years, he'll be one of the best players in the game.I used to think Towns was gonna be top 5, but not anymore. Even with Thibs coaching him he's still a poor defender. He just won't ever get it on that end of the court. I'd take Joel and Staps over him now.
TAJ WAS EMBIIDS PRIMARY DEFENDER.
HE HAD 3 BUCKETS ON KAT
ON ABOUT 11 ATTEMPTS.
HE HAD 3 DIMES THAT WERE KATS FAULT.

HE GOT LOCKED UP.
HES IN HIS FEELINGS...
TRYING TO USE REVERSE PSYCHOLOGY
SO KAT CAN PLAY OVER AGGRESSIVE
AND GO FOR HIS FAKES NEXT GAME.
When he start winning a few chips they will start to hate him..
See how everyone loved Steph when they thought he wasn’t a threat, that shyt changed when he started murdering the league and winning a few chips and getting mvps..

So y'all really gone sit here and act like KAT wasn't locking Joel down everytime he had a post isolation. The shyt Joel was doing with the euro steps as a 7'3 big man is fukkin incredible, and the tale of the tape from those plays is that KAT is an awful help defender, we already knew that, he fell for the euro fake both times.
However, as I have always stated, KAT is a VERY GOOD one on one defender in the post and on the perimeter, he is actually underrated in that aspect cause his help D is so bad, people disregard his one on one D (rightfully so, help D is MUCH more important for a C).
@Malta
Can u post some isolation defense numbers for KAT, I have no idea where to find that shyt at. Unless................. It doesn't fit your agenda![]()
The great mike
I love this guy![]()
He'd embrace the heel turn though on some Hollywood Hogan shyt

Dwight was Kevin Willis without Ewing, Robinson, Shaq and Hakeem around to keep him in check, I never liked his game ever and I could up some threads if you want proof. Back on SOHH I was always shytting on his lack of a post game.
Dwight is a conqueror? No, JoJo is Kareem, Dwight's no Kareem. JoJo the best C since Shaq. There's never been anybody as ruthless. He's Shaq, he's Hakeem. There's no one like him. He's from their cloth. There's no one that can match him. His post game is impetuous, his rim protection is impregnable, and he's just ferocious. He wants your heart. He wants to @ your children. Praise be to Allah.
