Yeah, Dave, I mean, they come into this series with home court advantage. They played really well against the Lakers and just handled them. And then you have the fans getting all geeked up because they're facing the two biggest villains in Timberwolves lore, Jimmy Butler and Draymond Green. And I do think that they...

wanted to come in and set a tone right away and just say that, hey, this is going to be our series. We are the better, deeper team, and we're going to show what we can do. But instead, Steph goes out with an injury, and they just played so flat, and they were so poor from a shooting perspective. And then even when they really needed to lock down defensively, they were just missing assignments.

It was... One of those things where the Warriors, 99 points, 39% field goals, 18 turnovers. This was a team that was so beatable. And in a long series, are they going to be okay? Yeah, there's a good chance of that. But you just know that you never want to give away games, especially against a team like this, and give them some belief. And so I think that's why it's so disappointing.

Yeah, exactly right. And so, you know, they have the benefit of more time here. But you just like in these playoffs, whenever you have a team that you that down, you have to get the win anytime you can. And and so that's why, you know, everyone was massively disappointed with the effort, with the execution, with all of it coming out of this game.

Yeah, I mean, Chris Finch was very frontal about Anthony Edwards and just said that he expects him to set a tone from the start that didn't set. I mean, he started 0 for 10 from the game. He had one point in the first half. He still rebounded well. He made a few plays defensively, but he also missed points. But he healed on many assignments defensively as well.

And so Finch was really kind of as critical of Ant as I've seen him. He was really frustrated with just the lack of finishing at the rim, with the lack of urgency. from Anthony Edwards. Ant was a little more pragmatic about the situation, and that's typically what Ant is after a loss. He's very rarely one to sound the alarm, to really add fuel to the fire. He just said, I didn't play well.

I've got to play better. We all have to play better as a team, but I'm not here to blame anyone and just move forward. Ant's trying to move forward. I think Chris Finch was definitely more frustrated just knowing the opportunity that they let slip through their fingers.
