KAT finished the 3rd quater with 58 i was hoping that he could reach 70 it would be crazy day in nba history if happened.

In case u forgot who is the best player on this team😂Man put in big man work this game

[@TheFrostyMan21]

Bro he is not the best player on the team. Stupid ass take. He had 1 good night. He has not been consistent enough to be the best. And heck the reason we lost this game was because of him. He had tunnel vision in the 4th that killed us. Ant is still the best player on the team because of his defensive and offensive capabilities. The only reason ant had a “bad” game tonight was because he was taking a back seat to the hot hand tonight. Next game against a good team town will have like 15 points. (I say next good team cause it’s the wizards next game and I’m guessing both ant and towns will play good that game)

[@DiscoPhantom-bg5rn]

I watched this game from beginning to end. Kat was the reason we lost. He wanted to score 70 so bad he forgot how to play team basketball and was forcing bad shots in the second half. If he let the game come to him instead of chasing it, we would have easily won this game.
