KAT's our best player. But he's not in the same tier as Embiid, Jokic, and - dare I say - Gobert. Gobert obviously doesn't have the offensive finesse skills of KAT, but he's an elite screener and roll man. Creates tons of open corner 3's for Utah.

Worst part about tonight is he's getting guarded by 4 and they have Nurkic on Vando

It will be interesting to see if Finchy shakes up the rotation a bit in the second half. Okogie's defense and energy would be a sight for sore eyes (unless he shoots of course - then my eyes would go back to being sore).

I wouldn't go as far as Rudy Gobert yet, but the sentiment is understood. What's frustrating to me is that Karl-Anthony Towns has all the skills and ability to be objectively better than all of them. He just doesn't have the intellect.

Towns wants nothing to do with this game

Charlotte vibes, compliments of Karl-Anthony Towns.

Jusuf Nurkic has four fouls already. This is the time to get going.

Argh, Ant missed a wide open DLO there for an easy layup. Awesome block, but then got tunnel vision.

Jarred Vanderbilt needs to get better at scoring under the basket and on the roll. That's his next progression. I care more about this than his perimeter shot.

Vando getting tons of looks because of his activity. Meanwhile, KAT seems content to mostly linger out on the perimeter. Why the hell isn't he planting himself in the lane with Nurkic out!?
