That's where it all starts. The kid is dynamic and hopefully will work on even getting better.

I would also clean house in the front office, Gobert is arguably the worst trade in NBA history.

But get him in anger management classes or something. What an idiot. Series could have been a lot more competitive with him.

I’m opposed to shopping Kat, he is on the cusp of playing under control and dominating. It would be a shame to have watched him flounder for years only to see him traded as he blows up the league. There is a reasonable chance we could’ve even won the series if JM and NR were healthy; regardless, Kat showed he could play D against Joker et al and dominated going to the rack. Those wins will help him turn the next page. While sux to be out already, my expectations for next season are high

I don't see it. I see the same KAT tease that we have always seen. He plays great then he gets flustered. Then he plays great then he has another melt down.

Murray when guarded by NAW for the series: 13/36 shooting (36.1%), 14 assists, and six TOs. Murray finished 4/12 from the three point line, and earned just two trips to the foul line.

I think I keep KAT another year. I'm guessing he knows he's not the alpha anymore. Maybe he begins to play smarter now?
It's a leap, but he has the physical ability and skills to be a very good player. To focus on what he does best and decrease the mental mistakes and obvious frustrations he exhibits.

He dropped it hard. Is that better? He sure as hell didn't throw it.

Dropped it hard, lol. If you drop something, gravity will bring it down vertically. There is no sideways gravity. He sort of let centrifugal force from his twirl take over.

No he didn't throw it, which I said initially.

My point is he didn't throw it. He pretty much just let go of it (which is essentially the same as dropping it). As you said, the momentum from his spin made it go sideways a couple of feet. It didn't look like the chair hit anyone and nobody reacted as if they had been struck. This whole business of people sustaining injuries and charging him is a load of crap.

Why he was in such a hurry in the first place is another question. Kind of stupid. But there was zero intent other than a quick exit.

I'm especially done with:

McLaughlin
Prince
SloMo

All have had their moments and I've praised them at various times. But I'm ready to move on from them.

I am neutral about Towns. I would absolutely shop him but only let him go if we can a decent haul for him. Certainly not a desperation 'We have to get rid of him' move.

There was no reason to touch the chair at all, it was dumb but it was nothing like what the headline makes you think. There was no throwing motion and no chair flight. At most it was dropped. He deserves some discipline because he needs to learn to control his emotions, but I think it's a stretch to call this assault, but I'm no lawyer.

Chair wasn't in the way, he picked it up out of the seating area.

Yep, immature as hell. No doubt about it. He has to control his emotions better than that. After a few more viewings I can see where he may have clipped two people in the process. It didn't look like anyone was hurt. One just stood there with her hand on her hip and stared up the hallway after him. Charging him with assault took it to a whole other level of stupid.

"The chair got in the way."

That's as bad as "He dropped it hard."

Hey numb-nuts, in the future you might want to check more before you go off spouting with blinders about how you've "seen the video".
