What a win

[Q-is-here]

I'd downgrade NAW to a B. He needs to make a couple more shots for him to be an A.

Gobert had a 50/50 night in terms of his hands. Ant zipped him a pass right under the hoop that he couldn't catch despite no defender to poke at it and he had a couple other bobbles too. But he also caught a few and was absolutely huge defensively, so I guess that's a long way of saying I agree with the A, but a "hot hands" night would have earned him an A+.

The SloMo F might be a little harsh. May be he's a D.

I don't usually comment on these but KAT was really important on both sides of the ball tonight. In the first half he had two tipped balls that turned into TO's and he was very good against SGA at the rim when Rudy went down.

Everyone played well, but even my KAT hating friends that I watch with recognized how much he carried us for periods tonight

I agree, Leado. 21 points, 10 rebounds, 6 assists, 1 steal, and 1 block with only 2 turnovers and 2 fouls and a +8 overall in a winning effort against a Conference rival on the road deserves at least an A-.

And he worked his ass off all night at both ends of the court. I'm one of those guys who used to find KAT difficult to cheer for, but he just seems to have grown up on the court. Does he still do stupid things at times? Sure. But the whining has mostly stopped, and his effort on defense has been terrific all season. Only 6-15 shooting last night (Chet had a lot to do with that), but I concur with the upgrade to A-.

True, the whining and flailing (but not the falling) have subsided a bit this year. I think he's resigned to the poor whistle he gets (perceived or otherwise) and finally realized there is nothing he can do about it.

Heh, when Ant went off on the officiating, KAT was probably like "Welcome to my world!". But honestly, the words that come out of Ant's mouth are received so differently than when KAT speaks up. It's not a bad thing for KAT to be in Ant's shadow.

I agree, I’m wrong on Kat grade

[kekgeek]

Also agree with Naw should be a B. Didn’t realize he shot so poorly. Didn’t feel that in the game.

Wow, I didn't either Kek. I think because his two made threes were so timely, I thought he had shot very well all game. I honestly don't remember him missing 5 three pointers. His defense though was exceptional again. He doesn't have Jaden's length, but his exceptional footwork and foul avoidance makes him just as effective on defense in my opinion.

As long as other players in the rotation embrace playmaking, an ANT/NAW starting backcourt has more potential that I thought it did at the beginning of the season. Maybe Conley should come off the bench when he returns?!?
