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?

Like, you're going to go through these things and you're going to learn from them, hopefully. You'll go back to the drawing board and the next time we see you, you'll have an answer to that. I do think that You know, if you watch the game closely, you could also make an argument that that Shea plays from the top a lot. Right.

Well, the difference is, for whatever reason, Minnesota was not throwing as many bodies at Shea all night long as as OKC was throwing at Ant. They threw them early. Like there was a play. I remember Shea had it on maybe the left block. He was backing his man down. There were three dudes flooded. Right.

And Richard Jefferson even said it, I think, after Shea split through three people and laid it up like, bro, if you're going to have three people there, he can't get all the way to the rim. But but he did. So you have to give a lot of credit to OKC and the bodies that he saw. But I want to go back to Shea, right? And you asked me, what does Ant need to work on?

Shea does a great job of, even though their body's there, being really patient. He's got like a herky-jerky kind of like move. He makes that little like, I was trying to show my son Ty the move where he kind of like steps back off that right foot, the balls in his left pocket. And what that step back does is just gives you time to read, right? We're talking space now.

It's like you're going into a double dutch. Yeah, but like, so I'm going to like kind of step back on you and create, I don't know, two to three feet of space by me stepping away from you. What are you going to do now? If you stay back, then that's enough space for me to shoot that jump shot, right? He's also got a wicked Hezzy off of that.

But if you close that space, now your force is moving this way and my force is moving that way. And I'm already faster than you. So you're dead. So that gives him like an answer to being out there. And what he does when he gets in the paint is he plays off a two a lot. And by that, I mean he gets to two feet. So he's got a lot available to him. Ant used to do this.
