[Highlight] Karl-Anthony Towns gets the pass to Mikal Bridges, who finishes the layup and then proceeds to drill the 3-pointer for the Knicks to end the first half. He has 17 points as New York leads 56-52 at halftime in Game 2 of the NBA Finals.
KAT has been incredible this entire postseason
KAT turned into Jamie Hartt of the Knicks
Jamie Tartt doo doo doo dooo doo
explain reference
Ted lasso reference
The fictional AFC Richmond in the Premier League finally turned the corner and played winning ball with an offense inspired by the triangle offense of the Bulls.
The linchpin is Jamie Hartt who goes from a selfish ballhog in the first season caring about his own goals. He turns into a selfless team player in the 2nd season. Then he blossoms to the Steve Nash playmaker that orchestrates the offense for the team to perfection.
Ted Lasso is a GOATed show
Ty, though I heard Ted Lasso fell apart after its first seasons
actively false
Save bagels!
I wouldn’t say this is accurate, the first season is its best but the follow-up seasons are still fantastic. Definitely worth the watch
Idk man, reminds me of when everyone said the first 3 seasons of Arrested Development were great and only the first two were.
Sounds like it was still worth the watch
first 2 absolutely
First two seasons are peak TV, the third season is still good but a slight drop off. Excellent ending though
Dope man
FMVP level performance.
Bro what, he’s legit the best player on the court by a good margin
He’s also not been picking up dumb fouls. Like, who is this man?
Wolves fan remember when the league was salivating about young KAT. At one point, 48% of GMs polled picked KAT as the player they’d start a franchise over Bron and KD.
[deleted]
Wait when did this happen I dont remember this at all lol
Tony Brothers can help with that.
Wemby can’t seem to do anything against him.
Wemby isn’t trying to play post with KAT, and it’s affecting the Spurs overall.
He can’t bang in the post. He needs a lil more meat on him.
It’s power and speed. Big Bodega has that over Wemby. The only thing Wemby has over KAT is length. Wemby can’t get a post look off a KAT because of that.
Wemby’s only success to open this up and crack KAT is to hit knockdown 3s or get lobs that are meant for his length. Wemby is shaky from 3 and Knicks have done a good job at keeping lob threat at bay.
If this keeps up I don’t see a way the Spurs can win tbh
Jimmy buckets in shambles watching this
I don’t think it’s hyperbole to say this is the best basketball KAT has played his entire career.
this is some of the best basketball anyone has played ever. fuck it ernie we getting fired anyway
He developed a lot as a playmaker and a defender in just a year this late in his career. Mike Brown is a wizard
Victor CHETanyama
This shit is not fun rn 😭
LMAO
Chet just needs to crank his hog to KAT highlights on Wemby this offseason and the thunder are right back in the favorites category
Brother
kat has much better ballhandling ability than chet. thats not something guys tend to improve too much on in the league
Kat has better everything than Chet on offense.
Brother, KAT has like 50 pounds on Chet lol
Okay, delete facebook, hit the gym, then crank his hog to KAT highlights
LOL
I still think OKC should be the favorites going into next season either way. They’d have beat San Antonio if Williams and Mitchell were healthy
Agreed.
aye man
lol
There’s gotta be a better way to phrase this
Probably, but it wouldn’t be anywhere near as funny lol, as if it’s just that simple for Chet😂
*hand on shoulder meme
knicks are not playing great and look fully in control right now. spurs are learning that taking away kat and brunson won’t be enough.
That’s the crazy part. We’ve been playing HORRIBLE so far in these first 2 games and we have a legit chance to go 2-0 at halftime
that’s the sign of a contender. when a team is playing poorly but has enough talent to hang around, and then the players and depth to turn it up at the end.
I wouldn’t say horrible, I’d say ugly. It’s been a fight and Spurs have definitely gone on multiple runs but Knicks have weathered through them, found their moments and been more composed even when shit wasn’t going right.
KAT getting a ring before Butler would be incredible
Butler might never even get one
Oh I don’t think he would get one either.
KAT had all night to make that three pointer
Wemby looks tired mentally and physically. He can’t sit cause Kornet blows. He has to play every second of offense against KAT and Mitch so he has no easy shots. And the Knicks run at him every possession to get him to commit and exert energy before having someone else shoot it and either make it or hope they get the rebound cause Wemby is out of position
He definitely looks like he’s running on fumes. Knicks plan of putting a second guy on his rolls even if it means a sort of open dude in the weak side is doing wonders as well
he’s so tired he’s not running pick and roll correctly he ran into castle and messed up his own roll in the second quarter
I could not understand for the life of me why OKC didn’t put Wemby in every single action possible; they let him rest on defense too much
That’s because OKC’s offense is “watch SGA cook or go to the free throw line” every play. That gives Wemby time to catch his breath and recover
I think it devolved into that only because JDub and Ajay were out. I think we’ll see a different series next year
OKC just had a horrendous half court offense outside of SGA needing to be as efficient as possible, even last year, their offense is basically starts with their defence doing 70% of the work.
Kornet is literally the worst kind of center to put on Towns, Spurs gotta figure something else out but Wemby only has so much juice
They need a bruising power forward to play alongside Wemby
He will be better but it’s more in certain times he comes in vs a whole game. It’s been game 6 SAS/OKC where he had a great front to back game.
He’s too good for it not happen.
Your NBA Finals MVP
Knicks get a chip with a kat fmvp and becky hammons take is correct. Win win for both sides imo
Chuck “Wemby is spinning”
Kat has clearly outplayed Wemby so far. Sucks for MN fans lol
I think they’re pretty happy for him
Julius Randle tho…
Fuck that, I’ve rooted for KAT for years. Want him to have success as long as it doesn’t hurt the Wolves.
Not at all, almost all of us are cheering him on BIG time
Honestly every single MN fan I see on here is rooting so hard for KAT love it
KAT has been cooking for the Knicks
Mr u/nba please make sure the refs get their shit together before the second half
A tech has been assessed on Mitch for this comment
analytically, they are winning tho.
Loving this series from KAT
So proud of this guy. KAT is him fuck the haters.
i need kat to win FMVP so we can start a dialogue.
He so far absolutely deserves the FMVP
I love this man
Just broke down defensively. The Spurs are rattled
If the Knicks go 2-0 up then it’s over. This is actually good for the kids watching because Brunson is a normal sized person and that is inspirational.
Beautiful basketball, love KAT
Why’d we trade him again?
Wemby can’t be the only guy covering the corner 3s. If he stays under the basket its wide open, if he commits they are running right by him.
Double Brunson, KAT sits on the perimeter, Wemby has to make a decision to stay on KAT or protect the paint from the open man, KAT hits the wide open 3.
They are exposing Spurs defense when Wemby can’t stalk the paint.
This is Jimmy Butler’s Nightmare.
Congratulations Knicks on your first championship
We should be down by 20 the way we played first half the Spurs on in trouble go Knicks
BIG PURRRRRRRRRRRRR
I’m telling you guys this wasn’t just a “Cavs suck” thing - the Knicks are playing insane basketball the past month
Lets go Knicks!!!
Point Center KAT
So, the thing that troubled me about the Spurs was…scratch that, I said before the series that OKC matched up better…Aside from that, the thing that gave me pause prior to Game 1-having never watched the pre-game announcements with the spurs- was that Wemby was announced as a Forward.
I was like, “uh oh”, they don’t have a center.
Knicks in 6
I
I’m sorry KAT, I was one of those guys who shat on you while you were at the wolves getting humiliated by Butler. I hope you win one before Butler does. You deserve it with this type of bball. Amazing narrative.
And then both barely touched the ball in the second half
Holmgren I hope you are taking some notes right now.
Damn GG yall, spurs gotta get another athletic big this offseason.
ChokeBanyama, the successor to the ChoKing James.
