[Highlight] Clyde Frazier not mincing words after KAT fouls out
“Why…. you have five fouls, why are you trying *this*… why…”
the way Clyde flatly utters that last why? - can really feel the disappointment
Nails 2 ice cold free throws to take it to OT
commits the dumbest foul to take himself out the game
-The KAT Experience
This sums it up completely
Clyde is pretty laidback now. There used to be a lot more disappointment in his last why’s
Tbf that play was a million times stupider than KATs foul out. Prob one of the dumbest decisions I’ve ever seen from a pro basketball player lol
Can’t blame Clyde. This dude is always in foul trouble for the dumbest shit
And he draws in his eyebrows. I don’t know how you can respect a man who does that.
Eh, I have a friend who has alopecia who does it and I respect him still
Clyde very often is befuddled and bedazzled by KAT’s foolish fouls.
The guy is just a total dick.. Got that “Daniel LaRusso” gene
I mean … I think that’s literally mincing words. Lol
Like how long have you been in the league bro
“…and it’s just inexplicable folks”
across the league, KAT must be one of the most infuriating players to root for
He’s a truly great player with the world’s premiere bozo gene waiting to come out
I’ll never forget heading into y’all series vs Denver Ant said how important it was for KAT to stay out of foul trouble and then he fouled on the jump ball in Game 1 💀
That’s hilarious.
NO WAY this is true 😂
https://youtu.be/qmQybtSUcyI?si=DvJehZ-1_yQLhpCx Watch for yourself. I thought for sure the Nuggets would stomp em in this game and series when I saw that happen. Instead the Wolves won this game and the series
Glad its no longer our problem
Like Ant has bozo moments, but nothing on KAT’s level
On court, KAT is bigger bozo. Off court, it’s Ant by miles!
Ant’s all off the court
Church!
we really got rinsed lol
You guys shoulda told us!
🤣. I mean god bless him but fuck he did this on the regular. Never hated him, but got very, very tired of it
I didn’t watch a ton of T-Wolves games but during some of those playoff series, he was a beast! That’s the KAT I thought we were getting.
Great offensive player.
As a neutral I didn’t think that foul was that bad though.
At least 4 of his fouls were dumb before that. An accumulation of frustration because he had to sit a bunch down the stretch on 5.
And then he does this, not a HORRIBLE foul but a pretty bad one considering the situation.
Jaren and KAT easily the worst big men for fouls you just shouldn’t have to take
As a college basketball fan, this would be funny if it wasn’t so sad. Screen setting is in such a state of disgrace in the nba that this is considered not egregious
Nah, it’s just not KAT’s fault. Brunson started moving before KAT got set. That’s the ball handler’s fault. But keep pretending you’re some fucking expert.
Maybe take a look in the mirror?
it’s not a severe foul but it is a very obvious one
Brunson already started his drive, he stepped into the defender at the last second. Clear cut foul every single time, he should know better man he’s being paid a lot of money
I could see that being a no-call but you’re playing with 5 fouls. You don’t need to set an aggressive screen 35 feet from the basket.
And when he’s on your team he starts civil wars in the sub. He’s simultaneously great and shit
Even just looking at tonight’s game – clutch FTs to send the game to OT combined with dumb offensive fouls and turnovers. Throw in a supposed beef with Mike Brown and some fun threads to be had in the Knicks sub lol
-sigh-
Yup… he still trying that thing on offense where he tries to clamp down the defender’s arm when he drives?
It’s so painful to watch when he just puts his head down, barrels towards the rim, and throws it off the backboard. It looks like he’s running in wet cement.
He actually has a very good post up game, we’ve seen it a bunch of times. I don’t understand why they so rarely run post plays for him.
it’s so annoying. Last year, his long range shots were going in so he could get away with the pump fakes from the 3pt line. He keeps doing it this season, but his shot has been shit so people aren’t biting as much. His post up is such a huge threat because teams often double team him while he’s in it and he tends to find the open guy more often than not. It’s frustrating that this seems to rarely be part of the game plan.
How many plays a game are being run for him to get an open 3? The wolves used to do a lot of fun screening actions off ball with Rudy to get KAT wide open looks. Even from out of bounds. His set shot is automatic.
Yes, and he’s got really good court vision, he should be carving up the defense with passes when he gets doubled in the post. On single coverage post-ups, he’s unstoppable.
Oh yeah he does that all the time.
First game against the Pistons he got called at least twice for it.
Got called twice in this game too
The worst was when he kept purposely kicking the defender on his 3 point shots and getting offensive fouls. Then when reporters asked what he needs to do to stop getting those fouls, he said, “I’m not going to change the way I play.” OK….
leads the league by a country mile on offensive fouls and complains about every single one of them. big fella just can’t help himself.
He leads the league in complaining for sure.
second only to Luka
Kat played in 8 more games tho.
Can confirm.
After reading the title I thought it would some really stupid foul, but its nothing crazy. He goes to set a screen, Brunson goes early, Kat has to move and chicken wing the defender.
Kat definitely has his share of dumb fouls, this isn’t really one of them
Kat has to move and chicken wing the defender
no he doesnt lol
Exactly. If Brunson went early, then just stop. You don’t have to set a pick just because that’s what the play called for. Once the play is broken by Brunson going early, you adjust, rather than committing an obvious foul.
Its a split second decision, a guy that big being expected to suddenly not go for a screen at the last second while their momentum is going that way is a tough ask
if u wanna argue that brunson went early and he didnt have enough time to adjust then id agree
but if ur saying he had a second to choose and chose to try to chicken wing the defender than he flat out chose wrong
it’s the complete lack of situational awareness – playing in OT with 5 fouls and unnecessarily runs into the defender like that
If Brunson doesnt go early, Kat has time to set the screen. By the time Kat gets there Brunson goes and Kat is stuck in no man’s land
It was the 4 fouls before this one that made this an inexcusable foul. I fucking love KAT but this is his schtick
It’s a dumb foul for anyone else. It’s just a regular foul for towns. He hip checks the dude. Dumb as fuck
Mike Breen was fed up with his constant complaining during todays game too
Yuuuup.
I can live with the offensive fouls on the screen but I absolutely hate the stupid reach in fouls.
He gets a bad whistle often but he has only himself to blame for being in foul trouble every game. Book him for 1-2 dumb fouls like clockwork
Brunson moved too early.
KAT wasn’t able to get planted for the screen because Brunson moved too early.
He has the worst whistle in the league, he never gets the benefit of the doubt and the players know this
If you flail at a KAT screen you are going to get the call
No way in shit I’m buying a knickerbocker having the worst whistle in the league. He might have a bad whistle by YOUR standards lmfao
E/ yea yall spoiled af. KAT is the king of stupid ass fouls.
It doesn’t matter what team he plays for, he had the same whistle in Minnesota
This is such a losers mentality lmao. KAT has one of the worst whistles I’ve ever seen. Just say you don’t know ball
How is it a losers mentality to say y’all’s spoon fed ass team DEFINITELY is not employing the guy with the worst whistle in the league. Cry me a river brosefina
TIL the team in a 53+ year championship drought that just lost to the worst team in the league is “spoon fed”
Feels bad to be bad despite your circumstances innit
Yea because your organization is trash not because the nba Is conspiring against you . Grow up
Then it makes no sense, learn english. I never said the NBA was conspiring against the Knicks. Our organization has spent the better part of 2 decades being trash because of poor ownership and management, but this is not the case currently.
also rich coming from you calling another organization trash lmao
He obviously has the worst whistle in the league in spite of being on the Knicks which makes it even more evident
Okay, yeah you’re just a loser lol
Says the guy crying about KATs whistle despite him being a literal walking foul
Idk man you’re clearly just an idiot so there’s really no point in engaging with you
Facts bro
It was a poor screen in general but Brunson starts going before the screen is even set basically forcing KAT into a poor position
Yeah it’s Brunson’s fault really, he should wait until KAT is almost set before going.
Nah kat leaned in for no reason. 100% on him
He leaned in because his job was to set a screen and he wasn’t yet in position when Brunson went. Exactly what the post you replied to said.
So he should be smart enough not to stick his leg and hip out like that. It’s a dumb play by him as usual
Yeah I dont understand why Clyde acts like its some idiotic move by Kat
They’re both at fault, slow it down from the 16 to 18 second mark, KAT never actually comes to a stop, and got way too close before trying to stop and set the screen
Thats fair, it does look more simultaneous slowed down. Just think as far as fouls go, this is a more understandable one from a big
Also that illegal screen doesn’t get called 80% of the time in today’s nba
Idk, it looks like he’s tired in OT and half assed it a bit. Understandably frustrating when someone is playing with 5 fouls, gotta be smarter than that
Because it is idiotic. The play itself might not be. But the decision with the stakes was idiotic and irresponsible to his teammates.
The decision to set a screen his teammate asked for? I think KAT is a moron when it comes to silly fouls but what else is he supposed to do here? His teammate put him in a shitty position.
Yes. As the star of your team, you’ve got to know when to execute better than that, or opt out of one screen for the sake of the last two minutes of over time.
Sorry, but KAT did nothing wrong. He is supposed to set that screen to get Brunson a matchup advantage. The person in the wrong here is Brunson who put KAT in this terrible position by going way too early which is what caused KAT to foul the defender. If Brunson had timed his attack better then KAT would have set a completely legal and good screen. Saying KAT has to reject running all the plays because his teammate might put him in a shitty position like this is wrongfully shifting the burden. KAT has a lot of stupid possessions but this isn’t one of them.
He clearly sticks his hip into the defender
ScapeGOAT
This should be the top comment, real nba fans know the game.
Even Brunson said it after the game.
Brunson relies on that first step quickness regularly so I’m with Clyde on this one
When I’m playing 2k as the PG I always gotta make sure I wait for the screen to develop or I know there’s like a 15% chance it’ll be an illegal pick
This one is kind of on both, maybe 60⁄40 on Brunson. But Towns had a bunch of other awful fouls prior to this which was why Clyde was so frustrated with him.
Ya I don’t agree at all, no one is forcing him to commit a poor foul instead of a idk, a ghost screen or many other alt options
raptors own the pacers who own the knicks who own the raptors
a perfect circle
That’s….a triangle
mb gang, math aint my strong suit
How many sides does a circle have?
at least 1
2!
The inside and the outside
close enough
DID SOMEONE SAY TRIANGLE?? - Phill Jackson, probably
It feels like a circle though.
its kind of on brunson for going early but maybe he thinks kat is gonna get set faster?
Towns gotta be one of the laziest/slowest bigs man, so lethargic at times. Chet is up there too sometimes and I hate it
This dude is 6”11 with I’m sure bad knees back and hips lol
No excuse for him compared to other bigs, embiid moves better than this fool even after all he’s been through
Embid don’t even be playing 50 games lmao
KAT’s fatass is always too gassed late in games.
Well he should know it’s Towns who he is playing with, i.e. basketball IQ hovering around room temp
ok am I crazy or is this a bit on Brunson too for moving early? KAT could have set it faster but Brunson was off way before he was set
Yeah at least a bit, but if you watch the replay with a closer shot, KAT gave himself no room to actually stop and set the screen
That’s a pretty standard NBA screen towns has a reason for being annoyed
You have to at least pretend to stop moving at some point
Historically not if wearing a Warriors jersey
The key to warrior screens is to pretend like you are a O-linemen in football. Or if you are GP3 just bend your knees and try to judo flip people at their knees.
I feel like I’m goin insane reading these comments. This is just Nesmith pulling a Dort lol there was hardly any contact
He also didn’t even really touch the guy, just flopped because he knew the refs would blow the whistle.
this screen goes uncalled 99⁄100 in an NBA game
Yeah but its gonna get called in over time when you bowl another person over in fromt of two refs for all to see.
For Draymond it goes uncalled 100⁄100 times
a little kick to the nuts added in
KAT remains having the worst whistle in the league. I don’t get it. That screen is pulled 100x a game, and the flop was egregious.
He whines like an old lady who just had her purse snatched on blatant fouls and he flails awkwardly, constantly.
Yep, his constant complaining have made the refs turn a blind eye. They more look to call him for offensive fouls than they look to call fouls against him.
Anyone whos played organized ball knows its almost always the guards fault when this happens. Brunson makes his move too early, at least half at fault here.
Clyde is the man. He always makes Knicks basketball such a joy to watch - even heartbreakers like tonight.
What I love about him, too, is that he CAN talk like this - he’s the fucking GOAT Knick. No one can say shit.
I mean, the dude is a 2x champion and one of the greatest all around PGs ever. He won our last title. He played probably the greatest Game 7 in NBA history. And now he’s been announcing for the Knicks for like 25yrs. And that’s not even getting into the suits, the style, the wordplay!
The point is that if I hear this from a dude like Steve Van Gundy, I just think ‘Shut the fuck up Steve Van Gundy! - but I hear it from Clyde and I just say ‘Yeah KAT - what the fuck?!’ lol
Lol I love that honesty at the end
Don’t know why youre getting downvoted lol
I try really hard to just be objective, but we all think this way. Also I find SVG to be pompous and often wrong
From flexing on everyone to fouling out in 2 seconds, this dude is such a clown lmao
That’s on Brunson. You gotta wait for him to get set
Mike Breen saying it so bluntly really makes it sting
KAT and dumb fouls :(
This is why Clyde Frazier and Mike Breen are the best local team broadcasters. They are not just good, easy to listen to, they are objective and at times more critical of the Knicks than the opposing team.
On the other side of the coin, the awful / insufferable / super homer Warriors broadcast team…
Is there any way to track fouls 40+ feet away from the basket, I feel like KAT leads that category every year
That wasn’t even the worst, at one point Breen said “Why does Towns have to complain in every single posession?” They were really aggraviated last night.
Breen and Clyde are great! They also called out KAT earlier for complaining on every single play, saying he’s not going to get calls that way
lmao this poor man
Clyde sounds like he was high as fuck during this broadcast.
up there with ‘what is he doin, folks’
As frustrating as Randle can be… don’t miss this from KAT
He was gassed and wanted out.
That’s on Brunson not Kat tho he went to soon
Clyde has earned his stripes. Team last won a ring when he was on the team, 53 years ago
Very funny that kat and julius are slipping back into their old selves around the same time. Julius completely disinterested in playing winning basketball for 5-6 games at a time, kat just playing like a high schooler
it really is frustrating because the Knicks are so much better when KAT isn’t fouling like crazy. There was that stretch where he was barely fouling after the losing streak. The losing streak ended and they looked like a completely different team. The dumb fouls clearly lead to losses.
Bruh how do they call this and not wemby’s travel
If this was any other player in the league, the Focus wouldn’t be on Towns. It would either be on his guard moving too early or the ref calling a WEAK whistle.
Pacers are on working hard on a tank except when they play the Knicks, they are obliged to remind them who’s Daddy.
I loved KAT on the Wolves and was sorry to see him go, but this is the kinda shit I do not miss. So many stupid fouls. He’s now been in the league for more than 10 years; he should know better.
KAT’s decision making is baffling. Yes. But Brunson has to wait there, no?
This is a terrible call against KAT.
It’s BS call and the player dove.
Why is Clyde in his feelings?
Bad call
Prior to this in the 3rd or 4th Q Mike Breen lays into KAT even more than this for complaining to the refs on every play. Breen really goes off it’s so funny. Anyone have a link to that video?
Another city tires of KAT
Negative bbiq
Dude had no touches and no fga in the overtime. All he did was foul out.
Someone explain how that’s a fucking foul
Oh you’ve been getting saved all night
Guessing moving screen
It’s a moving screen though it’s Brunson’s fault really, Brunson shouldn’t have went while Towns was still moving, should have waited until he was almost set before going.
Look at where KAT’s left leg is when he makes contact with the defender. He never actually managed to set the screen.
It’s also not totally his fault because Brunson went way too early, but it is absolutely an illegal screen.
? u see how kats leg moves into neismith and trips him?
Nah clip it and show us
because a guy fell and refs are like ‘durr gotta call something else KAT gets a wide open 3 durr’ idk something about the refs only calling something depending on the outcome pisses me off. Like when a guy gets hacked, the refs wait to see if the layup goes out and then calls the foul
Nice to see the ungratefulness trickles down from the fans all the way down to the announcers. This is a team that’s the 2 seed, made the ecf, just won the nba cup, and are the favorites to make the finals this season but all they do is whine and complain about their team. Kat specifically is literally an all star and all I’ve heard is how he should be traded, he’s soft, etc.
Sir this is a Wendy’s
why is Clyde being hommophobic
