The start ..

Post by Porckchop »

Of the season doesn't concern me near as much as I am sad that we may have to accept the fact that Towns will never mature as a player and we've already witnessed his peak becuz of it. Rooting for a team while disliking one it's best players is a hard thing to do. When KG played I could never take my eyes of him becuz his effort would drawing you in. Now I can't take my eyes off Kat becuz Im waiting for him to bitch and moan at the refs causing him to be late getting back on defense. Or watching him barge into multiple defenders trying to force his way into the lane. He's not a fun player to watch anymore.

Doesn't it get tiring that every year its Rubio's fault, it's Loves fault, It's Wiggins fault, its Kat's fault, and in a few years it will be Ant's fault.

I'm pretty sure it's my fault.

I admire this board for not calling you out publicly SP, but you are correct, on our mirror board that you are not invited to SPLoser is placing all of the blame squarely on your shoulders

Exactly! He's got some nerve publicly calling out anyone when he has effort issues and almost no emotional control.

KAT irritates me, too. But keep in mind that our two starting guards and starting SF are getting their asses handed to them on the defensive perimeter. This is a team game and, right now, this team sucks. The only players who haven't been terribly disappointing so far are Kyle Anderson, Taurean Prince, Jordan McLaughlin and Austin Rivers.

Success in basketball is far more reliant on its two best players than in other sports. Max player's should be relied upon to bring consistency from game to game. Of course their shots won't always be falling but rebounding, defense, hustle and leadership isn't to much to expect from our best players each and every night. Kat seems to be content in having a career that parallels Al Jefferson's. That just doesn't cut it for me. When Durant and Kyrie have off nights they don't get a pass because their teammates didn't play well either. They shoulder the burden for all the success and failures of their team. So should Towns, Edwards and Gobert.
