Yeah, Dave, I mean, I was really surprised, to be honest, not certainly not that the Thunder won on their home floor and are going to the finals. But the Timberwolves typically this season have been a team that when their backs are against the wall, when the Nobody believes in them. That is when they offer their best performances.

And tonight was, I think, their worst performance of the entire season. They did not look prepared. They did not look ready to play. They didn't look like they had any answers for what the Thunder were throwing at them. And I do think it was more than just the Thunder being a great team, which they are. It just seemed like the Wolves... were not ready for this moment.

And so for them to get blown out so completely, for them to be never in the game from the very start, I think it's profoundly disappointing to have a performance like this in your most important game of the season.

Yes. You know, I think it's a couple of things. I remember last year when they lost to Dallas in the Western Conference finals. Ant said that one of his priorities was he's going to get in the best shape of his life because he wore down as those playoffs went along. And he was a little surprised at the grueling nature and the physical toll it takes to go that deep into the playoffs. Um,

I think he did wear down in this series as well. I mean, it looked like at times that he was gasping for air, that he was kind of huffing and puffing. I think at the end of game four, he couldn't guard Jalen Williams because he was too tired and they had to put DiVincenzo on him and Jalen just cooked him. And so...

I think that going into this offseason, he will work even more on that part of his game and be more physically prepared to play the big minutes and shoulder the big burden that he does on both ends of the floor. But the other part of it, Zena, is I think that the Wolves have to do a better job of making it easier for Ant. It was way, way, way too hard in this series.

You saw what the Thunder were able to do with Shea in getting him two spots and getting him good looks against a very good defense. The Thunder are a great defense, there's no question, but I thought that Chris Finch probably didn't do a good enough job of scheming things to get Ant clean looks, but also Julius Randle, Jaden McDaniels, Nikhil Alexander-Walker, all these guys who were very,
