polished in terms of you throw this at me i can do i have these answers to the test doesn't mean ant won't get there but like last night he let them take him out of that game and he was brilliant in terms of spraying it around but they they needed and they should they had a chance to win but like you need him that to point produce a little bit more than that they had a chance to win i don't i there was never a moment during the game where i was like

Well, I've said this before, and I don't know if this was analytically driven by their team or his trainers. or if this is just who he is as a player. But if my memory serves me correctly again, Ant used to play more in the mid-range space than he is currently playing. When I watch him play now, it feels like if you don't give him the three, he's got to get all the way to the basket.

And I'll just say this again. Doesn't mean that won't work through the course of an entire season and you can't be really good at doing that. But when you come up against the best defenses, the best perimeter defenders, the nut crunch time in the playoffs, there needs to be a little bit more variance to his offensive game. There needs to be more second level scoring for me.

whether that is without a dribble, and I'm just giving you a nice catch on an elbow or around the free throw line if I'm afraid of them doubling, and you can play a la Dirk where you have clear vision both ways. They can't double you. Paul Pierce used to do that a lot. Or it's more mellow in KD where that's on the side of the floor, and we're just going to let you cook there.

Or have the offense – and he would need help with this from Minnesota – Not always have to have him on the ball and initiating with pick and roll. Do what I said they did, like, fractionally and very sparsely last night, which was, like, run him off of some stuff, a la Reggie Miller, Rip Hamilton. Like, you know, we don't run – or Stephen Curry in today's day and age.

Like, move him a little bit more if he doesn't want to do – The Shea, where I'll just bring you down and put you on a hip and then kind of go to work. Brunson does that very well. Then help him find some variance in his scoring repertoire so that he can be three levels more than he is right now.

Right now, he's two levels, and I think that's by design, but I don't agree with it in playoffs all the time.

Yeah, well, look, he will be fine. Like, so, you know, we're doing a little – a mini deep dive into – you know, his offensive game and what was lacking last night. But look, this is, to some degree, this is natural progression. We talk about this all the time in a star, in a superstar, in a player in general, right?
