U do realize that KAT has a post game right? He will cook Jrue or Tatum down the block when they switch.

KAT post ups are not gonna do it in a math battle against Boston, losing 12 3pa per game from Donte is a significant loss. Brunson and KAT will be hunted on every possession on the other side as well.

@@braxteneilert6012 not that significant considering they are getting those attempts back between KAT and Mikal. Defensively yes Celts are great but they are going up against an elite offense. In my opinion the Knicks starting 5 seamlessly fit together and are better offensively (yes even Josh Hart at SG) than Celtics though but not by a lot. Defensively Celtics have the advantage because of the switching. The game or series will be decided thru execution, coaching and more importantly health.

@@jomscath1822 that offense has barely any ball handling. Brunson is gonna have to pound the air out of the basketball in that system. Simply not sustainable if he is also hunted on the other side of the ball.

@@braxteneilert6012the same Jalen Brunson who was top 5 in MVP last season with no second option in the playoffs and one game away to the eastern conference finals and now has KAT and Mikal? Defensively he is not Jrue but he is above average and second in charges drawn per game.

His wemby fandom colored his analysis of rockets v spurs. Not just on this show but also on his own channel where he ranked the spurs in the top 20 teams n not the rockets. No 1 rly thinks the spurs will be better than the rockets except superfans

Another example: Sam asked him a question abt maxey being the key to the sixers yet doesn’t give a pro maxey take. Doesn’t continue the concept by pointing out other guys to monitor that might be linchpins as far as how this szn plays out. Instead gives an anti Joel n anti sixers take which is baiting defensive comments Great for inspiring passion around the game. But boiling everything down to the result of that first round series is not insightful

I’m excited for him to use more film. I think it will hold him to a higher standard of analysis. Rly loved the szn preview on the grizzlies. Good film wrk there. The other team previews weren’t that thorough but hopefully he continues to grow w the film stuff

Facts he was the worst star in history to everybody when he was on the Knicks 😂😂.

@@allsuave2689he didn’t have a great record with us in the post season but most of us wanted to see how he’d lineup with this new look team we built before the towns trade came along..none of us didn’t want Divencenzo to go either but Randle for sure will be missed

i think the ant logic is inconsistent. he isnt projecting yrs forward w any1 else not even wemby. every1 else is being judged over a large sample, but jason is evaluating ant based on the small 23-24 playoff sample

@@taylor7264 I guess that’s pretty fair

And he also said he is assuming Ant’s hot jumpshooting in the postseason is gonna be the new normal for him, which is a huge leap considering the 2 teams he faced in the playoffs aren’t built to guard him at all (Suns and Nuggets). Ant struggles more against teams with decent rim protection like Dallas, and he struggles with double teams, something Jason way too easily glosses over. Tatum doesn’t have these issues at all

@@PaM07675 Ant has shot 37% from three over his last 183 games on high volume. Seems fair to assume he’ll be a good overall volume jumpshooter, especially if he got to go to a team with more space, which would then also help him against teams with better rim protection. I don’t find that logic to be very flawed, even if you disagree with the end result

@@Colinkrauss1 I’ll try to be fair because Im not trying to say Ant’s not a good shooter, I think its obvious he is a very good shooter, so Ill just make these two counterpoints for now: 1) Timpf wasnt trying to make the argument that Ant is a 37% three-point shooter from now on. He was specifically looking at his shooting splits from this past ‘24 playoffs and saying he believes that Ant will keep THOSE numbers up… 46% from midrange, 48% from deep midrange, and 40% from 3… essentially saying he expects him to be a near 50/40/80 guy from here on out because of what he did in the ‘24 playoffs, specifically in the first 8-10 games where his numbers were even hotter. Im saying to take those 8-10 games and say he can maintain that type of shooting for most of the rest of his career is a flawed argument, because when you take into account the Suns and Nuggets are the two worst rim-protection teams in the Western playoffs, and their best primary defenders for Ant was Bradley Beal and KCP, then you realize those two teams are the perfect matchups for Ant, and to expect him to keep up THAT level of shooting from now on against everyone else like Dallas was and is crazy. His two other playoff runs were also crazy hot, but again those two postseasons combined totals only like 11 games, and one of those series was also against Denver. 2) I got no issues if you want to say you think Ant is a 37% three point shooter from now on, thats fine. But that alone doesnt make him better than Tatum, nor does it make him a better jumpshooter than Tatum. Tatum’s career 3P% is 37.5%. So if Ant is hitting a new peak as a jumpshooter of about 37% from now on, that means he’s finally getting to the level as a shooter that Tatum is already at by default, which is his average of 37.5% from deep. And he has had multiple seasons shooting over 40% himself. Everyone likes to to take shots at Tatum now because he’s been on a crazy slump with his shooting, but they all go too far with discounting it in my opinion. All I’m saying is I think some people like Timpf go a little too far with their glazing for what they think Ant will be, that they get excited and rank him higher than what he is actually currently at right now at the moment. Timpf even has said multiple times now that a lot of whats factored in for him about ranking Ant this high was his projections for him and that he thinks will get better. But he didnt do that for other guys like Wemby or others. He only did it for Ant to give him a boost, without considering that someone like Tatum can also still get a lot better because he is still a couple years away from hitting his prime also. The age gap between Ant and Tatum is not wide enough to say that Ant will jump Tatum by pure potential and skill increase. But the age gap (and “playoff age”) is wide enough to give Tatum an experience-edge that is considerable. For example, Ant struggles with double teams and being decisive in such pressure situations… Tatum did also like 3-4 years ago, but not anymore. He’s grown past that, Ant still needs a couple years more experience to do the same.

So why KAT had to guard Nokia in the playoffs Gobert is overpaid & limited

Literally NO ONE is acting like that, he is however the best shooting big in the league
