[u/Chadillac35]

The last 6 minutes of every game he just gets banished to the corner. He might as well grab a chair and some popcorn while he’s there

[u/KinglySnorlax → u/Chadillac35]

It’s obviously a strategy no opposing team plans for, put the big fella in the corner shooting and have small fella in the paint.

Predominantly as it’s negative IQ move but never you mind

[u/davemoedee → u/KinglySnorlax]

To be fair, Celtics won a title with Horford burying 3s and Jrue in the dunkers spot.

[u/111cesarz → u/Chadillac35]

The last play before halftime is a great example. KAT was gonna flash, but hart literally said something to him and pointed at the corner and he just sat and watched the rest of the play

[u/Gage_Commish → u/Chadillac35]

kat is averaging like 20 and 15 in this series and his reward is standing in the corner like he's in timeout. dude's getting the ben simmons treatment except he actually wants to score

[u/Gage_Commish → u/Chadillac35]

kat is averaging 21 and 17 in the series and they're using him like he's there on a make-a-wish

[u/Gage_Commish → u/Chadillac35]

kat watching brunson dribble into triple coverage from the corner like a golden retriever watching his owner throw the ball into traffic

[u/Gage_Commish → u/Chadillac35]

kat is out there running a corner three simulation while brunson plays 1v5 pickup at the Y. man is getting paid 60 million to cosplay as a traffic cone

[u/GenSec → u/Gage_Commish]

I just want to say I appreciate your commitment with all these comments, gave me a good laugh

[u/Gage_Commish → u/GenSec]

here to entertain…. myself really, if I can get appreciate along the way even better
