And I think Joe is starting him because of like the the the the like he isn't trying to have him out there like the at the the end of of quarters.

But I thought last game when Kata had all those files, I thought he was playing a good game.

But you just can't file out.

They need you.

Hopefully that's it.

But he is doing a lot on our team compared to his last team where he's in handoffs and stuff.

He's like screening a ton, which is something that I saw last year is where – Like our guys, as far as Kata and Garza, they are flying around the court all the time, like in the half court.

They're flare screening.

But the pass he made to Derek White at the end of regulation to me was like, this is a guy who understands the flow of the game, where his teammates are, and what needs to happen to have the best chance to succeed.

That's the kind of stuff, the stuff with Kata already, where him and Kata have great chemistry.

He's, he's, The vision to me is jumped up a level here in year, what, year nine, year eight, whatever we're in for Jason Taylor this month.

Ten.

But we'll know.

That to me is a sample size question.

Well, I think about Kata and Tatum.

They don't seem to have an issue right now.

Not that I've watched every minute of his career, but that was never a thing I saw as a massive potential for him.

Now, Kata, meanwhile, I've always loved the reads he can make, and he makes some Nice passes with the ball in his hands.

I mean, he and Tatum had like an inverted pick and roll moment in one of these games too.

So I've been excited about Kata, especially coming off the season he had a year ago, the playoffs were disappointing and they got to figure out the following there.

But to me so far, he looks like their best option.

They've been staggering the starters bench, uh, I was pretty surprised we saw the Walsh Robinson lineup from preseason continue to be their starting group into the year.

So I think there was a concern they were just going to shoot a ton of threes and kind of lose games when they're not hot.

But so far, small sample size, I feel like I've seen them getting like Mitchell Robinson going and Kata going with a lot of pain touches, a lot of layups.

And even Tatum and Paul George, I see doing a fair amount of driving to the hoop.

And they said on the broadcast last night, Tatum shot the most free throws anyone has.

were

you surprised that it was

Kata waiting in the corner for that stand-up three?

And Felger and Mast lost it.

The game should be over.

Unfortunately for the Celtics, Kata, Kata fouled.

It led to them getting to the line.

They hit two free throws.

I did.

Like Mitchell Robinson historically has been excellent.

Kata took a massive leap last year.

I'm not going to say that I had massive hopes for Luka Garza, but he's absolutely a guy that can still contribute.

He misses the second.

OK, so when he misses a second, the Celtics put Mitchell Robinson back into the game, which, again, that could have been a Kata situation if Kata didn't fall out of the game.

But instead, you have to put Mitchell Robinson into the game because you aren't all your good rebounders out there.

So what happens after that? Okay, what happens after that is Mitchell Robinson goes to the free throw line and he misses both free throws.

They're not going to be able to like you help them get back into the game.

And look, Tatum had to miss a free throw.

Kata had to have a dumb foul.

Mitchell Robinson had to be on the court because Cato was off the court like all these and he had to miss two free throws he had to miss three free throws down the stretch but to me I just think next time let's just play this out I don't think you had to do that and like I said like the Mikel Brown should have never got that off but thank Julius Randall thank Brown for letting you get the opportunity to win this game and I will say this like earlier Tatum freaking awesome unbelievable He's not even shooting the ball well coming into this game tonight.
