Thunder Just One Win Away From an NBA Finals Appearance. Plus, Can the Knicks Reclaim Home Court? | Real Ones

Now I don't have the answer to that. Your, your answer might be, Hey man, we'll let him score 50 and we'll try to choke them out. And I've told you in the past that I've gotten multiple instances where we either employed that strategy or we, we, or someone employed it against us and it, and it bore fruit. I'm finding the balance of that again. Sorry guys. I'm geeky. This is geeky shit, man.

This is really weeds. This is in the weeds of basketball, but like, When Ant goes, Ant goes full speed. Yeah. There's very little probing. Once he decides he's not shooting the three, he's on top of the rim, right? Well, let's say we don't double you right away. Think about decision making. Do you make better decisions when you have more or less time? You have less time.

When you have more time, right? So if Ant is going from A to B and it's taking him 0.5 seconds, all right, and then all of a sudden as he starts moving, boom, here's a double team. That's a small amount of time to make a decision and make a play and decide you want to still score. Whereas Shea is like probing a lot of the time, trying to work his way to the basket.

So that same 0.5 seconds to get to the rim for Ant, Shea's doing it in two seconds, right? That's four times the amount of time. Because he's so decisive. Yeah. Yeah. But it's also just his style of play. Right. So like when you're trying to send doubles at him, they don't really surprise him.

He's still under control and he's playing at a speed where now he can make the decision that kills you over and over again. Right. So like he's harder to double.

I would say if I was devising a defense, I would say it's harder to double him, not just because he's got better supporting pieces, but because the style, the pace, and the areas where he is at on the floor at times can make it harder for him to double. I would still say to you, Denver zoned him. That was their answer to taking SGA away, right? Zone. Yeah.

Now, you're going to tell me they had Jokic and that's true too, like in whatever. But that was their effort to say, yo, this dude is not going to single-handedly beat me. And they got him to what? Seven games? Seven games.
