JJ Redick

And when that matchup happens, he gets the ball and the Lakers load the floor from every angle. They try to confuse him. LeBron is like a cornerback on the sidelines, like stunting here, stunting there. He's like ferocious. And Ant just sort of digests it all. And there were a couple of times where he didn't wait at all. He just got the matchup, put his head down and went.

And there was a level of decisiveness that I, I, there were no dancing, no prelude, no, no, anything just go. Then there were other times where he like dribbled into the lane, help converged, took a dribble back, kept a live dribble, help went away. And then he'll just spin into like a nice 12 foot shot over Luca. It was calm. It wasn't seeking highlight plays every time.

It wasn't being reckless like Jalen Green's being reckless in the Warriors Rocket Series. It was like a veteran, calm, just masterful performance. And defensively, he's been good. Chris Finch has gone all out putting Randall McDaniels. and Ant on Reeves, LeBron, and Luka, and switching any time they try to get in actions together. They've been on point with that.

We haven't seen Ant's been guilty a lot of times of lazy box outs and falling asleep off the ball. Part of it is that the Lakers haven't forced a lot of that pressure on him, but he hasn't made any of those mistakes. Incredible Ant performance. The Lakers are just going to be complaining about the refs. You can talk more about Ant, but I do want to hear your reactions to both the

Well, and this is the issue, and I don't want to overplay this issue and transfer it onto every foul and non-foul that happens, but I'm glad I talked about this with Goldsberry last Thursday when I talked about the physicality of the playoffs and how I just thought... This is a completely different sport from the regular season to a level that I don't think I can remember. And I used dangerous.

Like I said, someone is going to get injured or there's going to be a fight. And this is the problem with this is that when plays like this happen and by the letter of the law, it's probably a foul. And you see calls like a little nitpicky call here or there. And you see teams being like, how are you going to call that? Yeah.
