Karl-Anthony Towns Fouls Like an Idiot and The Cavs Should Exploit It

from The Ken Carman Show with Anthony Lima

Ken and Lima break down the Brunson problem — a former NBA player flatly says the Cavs have nobody who can guard him — before Chris Mannix flips the script and argues Cleveland is actually a matchup nightmare for New York, with Jared Allen and Evan Mobley capable of putting Karl-Anthony Towns in foul trouble early and often. The Dean Wade versus Max Struess starting lineup debate surfaces as a genuine strategic question, with the plus-minus numbers surprisingly favoring Wade despite the optics, and the Knicks' cutting game and movement without the ball presenting a very different challenge than anything Detroit threw at the Cavs. The segment ends on a lighter note with Donovan Mitchell's fiancée Coco Jones potentially providing the Jordan Poole effect at MSG, Jared Allen returning to the building where he dominated in Game 7, and Ken making the case that Karl-Anthony Towns committing brain-dead fouls at the worst possible moments might be the Cavs' most underrated advantage in this series.
