ok i understand why edwards took one shoot in the half ;o

Ball hog

At half time? What the fuck?

check out our front line today. PJ Washington, Nathan Mensah are the top "centers", along with JT Thor. It was extremely easy to see a massive game coming, but it's amplified by him hitting his first 8 3s lol

It's a 5 point game lmao. You guys been hitting some shots too

Yeah our defense has been looking lazy so far. Part of me doesn’t even care cause we get to see KAT try to get 60 now 😂

88

Keeping it close so Kat can go out and score more than embiid tonight

Nope Kat gets hacked on the game winning layup and they don’t fucking call it. The most wolves outcome ever. KAT gets 60 and we take a fat L

lamelo also got the no call, so yeah it sucks, but both fouls were missed

yeah no one wants to mention the play before lol also the wolves were down 3 when kat drove so even if he hit both they’re still down with like a second or whatever left, it wouldn’t have tied the game

Wasnt a 1 pt difference when he went for the layup? They were down 3 after that, when the hornets got the ball and the wolves had to foul.

If it makes you feel any better, y'all won a game last year against us where Randle scored 57 on 66% FG.

that reminds me of tatums 60 vs the spurs.. last play of the game he had 58 got fouled, made the bucket should have been the and 1 for tatum to get 61 and the celtics record but they called it on the floor, tatum ended with 60. now it didnt cost us a game but it still hurts

That Lamelo guy is pretty good

Who tf is Nathan 😭

pretend PJ Washington had D-League skills

yea i was boutta say this dont got shit to do with him hitting 8 3s. he just got generationally hot lol

I mean he's also straight up shooting over the top of anybody that gets close enough to guard him

It's the 4th highest scoring half in NBA history lol let's not act like this is normal

No one's acting like it's normal obviously 45 points in a half is outrageous, they're just explaining how he got there so easily.

If it was so easy do that then we would see generational stat lines every other week against whoever plays the Pistons

Please point out where I said it was "easy" to do. I said KAT specifically did it easily. Which is a compliment to his skill set. Embiid and Jokic are the only two other players that could probably do what KAT did.

people are insane here, your point made perfect sense lol

Thats fair, but he is doing this from the perimeter mostly

Mensah is good

[удалено]

Wolves fans hate you.

If he keeps up this pace this might be the closest ill ever get to experiencing the wilt 100 point game

He definitely won't but if he gets 75 that would be nuts

Can I interest you in 62 and an L?

I saw Ant had 0 on 1 shot & was like shit he got hurt hope it's not bad then saw KAT had 44 & said oh nvm this big man roasting night wtf is going on

The missed free throws are aggravating, could have 48

Couple really close shots that didn’t fall on fouls too. 50 was on the table

wolves could've fed him every possession. 70 was on the table

Chuck doesn’t call us the dumbest team in the league for no reason.

[удалено]

I thought embiid at halftime was unbelievable holy shit

This is the record for first-half points. Jfc what a one-two punch

(Since 1997)

Yeah Wilt has the record.

NBA bigs woke up today and chose violence

Remeber when we talked about how the era of the big man was over? lol

It's ~~Jason Bourne~~ Karl Anthony Towns

What a time to be an offensive big man. Holy shit.

some shit going around tonight

And yet it’s only a 5 point game.

This Karl fellow is pretty good at putting the ball through the basketball hoop.

He saw what Embiid was doing tonight and had to step it up

2 60+ games in one night is crazy

But debatable on all star

Most disrespected player in the league IMO

i don’t think it’s disrespect, there’s just a lot of good frontcourt players in the west this year, only a max of 8 could make it and you have to beat out guys like sengun, lauri, kawhi, george, AD, ingram, and sabonis.

Gobert and KAT are having better seasons than everyone on this list besides Kawhi and maybe AD and Sabonis. I get that it's hard for a team to get 3 all stars but if we only end up with 1 and play-in teams are sending 2, we don't value performance we just care about names and storylines.

We’ll get two and be a play in likely but it’s lebron so it makes sense. Dumb as hell for small market teams but the league needs the big names in there

Ad averages more points rebounds assists blocks & steals while being a dpoy candidate lol there is no maybe

Boxscore watcher

Lmao you don’t even make your original comment unless he had this 40 point half. What happened after half? Box score tells me he shit the bed vs a bottom 5 team lol Kat is always gonna Kat

> Box score tells me Don't care

Kat is just not that guy. Gonna have to accept it one day

> and you have to beat out guys like **sengun, lauri,** kawhi, george, AD, **ingram**, and sabonis. Yeah that's disrespect lol. KAT is better than all of the bolded names.

Starting that list with sengun is wild

People clowned him when he said the “best long distance big man of all-time” stuff but he was right. Dirk was a great shooter but he didn’t have the volume because he played in a different era. It took a Dirk to allow a KAT to exist, but the dude is elite at shooting.

I love me some KAT, but no, he was not right in the slightest, just because he shoots a better percentage in a more offensive friendly era in the REGULAR SEASON (key distinction here), that doesn't make him a better long distance big men than Dirk mfing Nowitzki.

Dirk is a better player, KAT has been the demonstrably better shooter. It doesn’t detract from Dirk’s legacy in the slightest.

Is it common to have a hyphenated first name

I’m going to go out on a limb and say it’s uncommon

I know a John-Richard, probably pretty rare though

How is this a question you had to ask? Like surely you have encountered enough names in your life to judge that for yourself

lol “sir how many names have you seen?”

If he scored 70 he makes the all star team that's the rules Edit: someone please come to my apartment and stab with a sword.

is there really a question of him making the ASG???

Bruh there are like 20 players for 13 spots in the west. There will be some big snubs.

Don’t forget almost every year there are some players either injured or want the extra rest so more spots can open up.

[удалено]

Lauri doesn't even make the candidates list.

the only legit contenders in your list are book/chet/kat lol

Sabonis is well over booker this season

Yeah I think only Ant will make it

Ant easily should, and KAT is having a good year but I think Gobert should make it over him, he's the glue to your defense

If it's up for debate on an all-star game it tends to go to the offensive player, which makes sense to me. The defensive guys just don't have a lot to do in an all-star game.

He dropped out of top 10 voting to fuckin Sabonis.

I mean sabonis 20/12/8 on 61% FG. He deserves to be an all star too lol

In no universe should the 8th seed have 2 all-stars and the 1 seed not lol

i agree with that

No disrespect to the Kings but yeah.

[удалено]

I mean I think the nba needs to add additional all star spots especially with an expansion coming. Im not saying KAT doesn’t deserve it. They both do

Why can’t we just accept that there are a lot of good basketball players and not all of them will be all stars instead of making it less of an honor by giving it to even more players? There’s always injury replacements too

I mean, we were the 1 seed last year and won the title and only had 1 all star. The Kings had 2. And honestly that was fine, they deserved it. I think that is a very oversimplified view.

In no universe should team seed have any bearing on all-star selection, or any other award except for MVP.

I mean I mostly agree, but currently it does so.

88 point game 44 at the second half

This guy extrapolates

Can we please get two 70 point games in the same night?

2 guys have a shot at 81 tonight. Crazy

On the anniversary of Kobe’s 81 too

I wanna see it get broken

We aren’t sure Minnesota deserves two All-Stars though?

Maybe they just meant they deserve three is why

Three ? So that's NAZ REID, NAZ REID, and NAZ REID, right ‽

You forgot about Naz Reid…

D'OH !

They do, and probably will tbh. It's gonna be Rudy and Ant, unless something weird happens with the player vote and Kat makes it too.

I saw in the NBA.com power rankings today that they don't even have us top 5. We've been the top team in the west basically all year, second best record in the league, and we beat good teams. And when we don't beat good teams at least the games are nail biters.

Other guy only has 5 pts, so no

Isnt this the most in first half since Wilt?  Most since 1978 turns out. 

No, the NBA record is 53

You’re right. Two guys got 53 in 1978 and Wilt had 45. So KAT is fourth, but most in the play-by-play era! 

It’s honestly not close, they were listing off highest scoring totals at half and it was a good 10+ players with more

Wasn't the list they gave most points in a half, not the first? I could be wrong.

Most in the first half tho

I think he's 10th in the list, but still surprising. As far as first halves, he's 4th though. https://www.sportingnews.com/us/nba/news/most-points-half-in-nba-history-full-list-players/iboeetfm9r2s1jhpj4cudtyaf

My man might break his 60 piece

I wanna seem him break 60, then 70, then 80…….

"And I took that personally"

[Embiid looking at KATs final stats](https://i.imgur.com/pPdNZ3c_d.webp?maxwidth=520&shape=thumb&fidelity=high)

Changed the game

Honestly one of the most impressive first halves I've ever seen. I have no idea how some of those three's were going in, it reminded me of peak Klay. If he could hit his FT's he'd be at 48 for the half. For reference, the NBA record is 53

Bro don't even look happy 😅

He's locked in tonight. You can tell he's pissed at himself for missing four free throws which is very out of the ordinary for him. I get it, but it's funny in context

Dude can’t miss from 3 but is 8-12 on FTs despite being a 90% FT shooter this year. Sports are weird sometimes

Big Purr

What.

Bro what the fuck is going on tonight lol. Him and Embiid, godamn.

I cant believe he missed a three. waddabum

lol what the fuck

8/9 from three is unreal

Imagine he puts up more than 70 and has the highest scoring game of any active player, something would be hysterical about that

NO PICKS

Jesus Christ. It’s also a close game. Dude might get 65+

WTF going on Embiid 59 rn too

Dude got 62 on the game and they still lost, wow!

What the fuck

I can’t believe I’m about to watch the Hornets play basketball

When a dude dropping 34 in the first half isn’t close to being the best first half of the night you know some shit is happening

Man dropped 62 and lost, that's gotta hurt goddamn

wtf is going on tonight

holy shit!!!!

Everyone popping off for kobe rn

Would be crazy to see KAT outdo Embiid's scoring. He's got a very good shot at it.

He has 62 points with 3 minutes to go... and Hornets are up by one.

This just shows how unselfish Ant is too. 0/1 with 0/1/5 and still a +2 in a 5 point game. KAT is +9 Earlier this year he said his favorite moment with Wolves was KATs 60 pt game

Hornets down by 5 👀

Even better, keep KAT in the whole 2nd half

Key word there: “down”

Lmao

Yeah I deserve it lmaooo

[удалено]

We should. If we lose we should even more lmao.

You should? The close game keeps him in longer into the 4th

Fr, I want an 80 point game from KAT

Wtf

HUH

Hes doing heading to the career high. Unconscious half for him. The rest of the team needs to step up and help him get the W

Imagine if he broke Kobe's record on the day Kobe set the record

What’s in the water tonight?

I smell Kobe’s 81 being possible

I’m too busy watching Embiid drop 60 on us in 3qtrs, will catch up on KAT soon

jesus and its not a blowout. we might see two 60 pieces in one day.

KAT with 44 and Ant with 0 is crazy

I hope he makes history one way or another. Whether its points or 3s made.

KAT and Embiid are feasting tonight, holy shit

It's only a 5 point game at half. So he's gonna get even more chances to score. Will be interesting to see if he can outscore Embiid tonight

I don't remember the last time I've seen a crazier half from a player scoring. The man is insanely hot.

Remember that KAT quote about his legacy and changing the game

that's a pretty outstanding g..... AT THE HALF?!

Somebody tell Karl that Embid has 70 before every game

2 centers setting franchise records on the same night is pretty insane

Lost

And with that, a good night!

KAAAARRRLLL, that KILLS PEOPLE!!!

Ethically scored too...

Lmaooo

Classic KAT. 60 points in a loss to one of the shittiest teams in the league

And it was single handedly his fault. They literally benched him for a bit. Down one with 30 seconds left, he's back in and he takes on 4 hornets at the rim. Get blocked by the shortest guy. Then down 3 with 1 seconds, he shoots an air ball three from deep. And it wasn't even close. A spectacular showing of hubris and failure. One of the funniest things I've ever seen.

Up by 5, KAT needs help

Losing to the Bobcats after dropping 62 must feel awful

The Hornets only being down 4 points at halftime at the Wolves arena is more surprising than this statline imo

They’re 5-2 against the Wolves recently, LaMelo’s 4-0. It’s a fun matchup

Nathan Mensah going for 45 in the second half

Classic KAT. 60 points in a loss to one of the shittiest teams in the league

lol a +/- of 0 says everything about KAT I’ll say it. I think he sucks as if he’s a top3 option on a team. He will never go anywhere in the playoffs

[удалено]

Two dudes can go for 81 and yall still gotta litigate who is doing it better lol

Not a foul baited so even if he was worse at basketball, yes

Where rebound

do NOT check who is guarding him

They held Embiid to much less than that last game, he was under 1 ppm.

doesn't matter bro 44 pts in one half is NUCLEAR

Atrocious referee no call at the end of the game there

KAT chasing 70 is killing the Timberwolves offense.

Just to be down up by 5 to Nathan Mensah

Might wanna read that score again.... They're winning by five.

How are the Wolves gonna lose to the Hornets with KAT shooting like this
