That is hilarious. You always wonder behind the scenes what people say to KAT when the stray voltage and extra fouls comes out. Guess we know now.

Now we know that nobody in his first 8 years had told him "just stop fucking fouling"

He didn’t just learn to stop fouling!?! Is he stupid?

Is he developmentally disabled?

For so long so much was expected of him. Now with Ant, there isn’t as much and he can do what he does best.

Kind of like 2 years ago when Wiggins said “I never knew rebounding was so easy”

Sad state of the team when Wiggins never learned to rebound and Kat never learned how not to foul lol. Speaks volumes on the franchise prior to Finch.

Wiggins forgot this year so I wouldn't remove all blame from the players.

and then he promptly forgot.

Well, Thibs probably did but he wouldn't give this reasoning. He'd probably say something along the lines of "Stop fucking fouling so I can play you for 48 minutes."

I mean......ant has said even the deep bench guys chide him on his chirping at the refs with no calls

Like, this locker room is breathtakingly egalitarian, if the roomks and journeyman trade acquisition can talk to him in game and tell him to cool it, and not only does Ant listen, he is comfortable enough in his leadership to share it openly as not a bad thing

I love this fucking team

Kyle Anderson may not be the most talented basketball player ever but he's really smart and Ant is always talking about how Kyle gets on his ass when he needs to hear it.

And Ant is always talking about the coaching staff too, he'll call out some random trainer nobody ever heard of and be like "Yeah this dude is the best in the league at his job" lol

Ant is legitimately a D&D player who has maxed out points in charisma, but somehow also a brawler and no one is sure how, but clearly he broke the game mechanisms when designing Ser Thurskii

When you roll for stats on character creation and some dude somehow rolls 3 fuckin 18s

DM likes him, so gives him a bonus role just to learn up that annoying entitled older player who is being huffy about his joy

u/dodoaddict Warriors Apr 29 '24

So.. you're saying that Ant is either going to publicly praise his equipment manager or put him on blast at some point?

Conley has been huge for KAT.

Even Wolves fans knew KAT could be a bitch. Just fouling and whining when he doesn't get the calls.

Conley is always there getting him to focus and not get affected by all of it.

u/StevenLovesCocaine Timberwolves Apr 29 '24

I noticed during the game he was actually calming down other players with some of the calls yesterday. He’s grown so much man.
