Goaltend not to goaltend
- Thread starter W2R
- Start date
I can think of two other blocks that Towns had this year that weren't called but were obviously on the way down. He needs to get after these just a smidge earlier. But it's great to have multiple rim protectors....that's for sure.
I love Towns' aggressiveness but he's had a handful of goaltends this season that were pretty blatantly on their way down. I know I'm just an armchair fan that has the benefit of watching from afar instead of in the moment but it's just an observation.
The offensive goal tending was ridiculous.
I don't know how three refs can miss that, but we had the three blind mice out there.

KAT's was not a goaltend.
He has got to use better judgement on help defense though. He has been over-aggressive most of the year, getting goaltends and allowing offensive rebounds. Last night though, he seemed to be a step late all night.
One other thing, on that block in question, he again swats it as far as he can rather than controlling the ball. A few minutes later Dakari block one purposefully right to one of the guards. Textbook. Sending one out emphatically is ok early in games to send a message but he really needs to play smarter in most cases on those.

Towns is stepping into Daniel Orton territory in regards to goaltending. Big Orton was a lock for one a game if he got the minutes.
