If he could give me the right doctors, I think that's what it would be about.

He's a proven project manager, I think, at this point.

The Ant thing, yeah, was mainly where I was landing when I was watching this one because Denver seemed really comfortable just straight switching this a lot.

It was either heavy isolation.

If Ant's not going by and getting the paint touches, they just need that accelerant to kind of get guys in spots like Nas or get Julius in spots where he can attack situational kind of matchups and play his one-on-one game.

You don't want to be riding that solely with Julius, but if he's catching it

in a good matchup.

Those are the things that Ant's downhill stuff creates a lot.

Like I had it written down here.

Yeah, 31 pick and rolls.

19 of those were just straight switches.

That's just like they didn't... That's not Ant being typical Ant to me.

This... And then, yeah, a lot of ISO and just kind of him playing over the top.

And if he's not going to make those shots, it's going to be pretty tough.

But over... I still think this is the best... This series has the best...

potential for variants in terms of like where they could go.

I mean, I still think this is the best first round series.

Where's the switch, I guess, is the question.

I mean, who do you want to put him on if not Jokic?

Yeah, I think the combination of what you're talking about, if Brunson, and this has been my kind of frustration with him over the years, is just if he's going to be willing to lean into that and buy into that, you're taking away one of the self-sabotaging themes that the Hawks are hoping for.
