And now he really has to play the next โ
you know, 60 games, essentially 58 games on eggshells because you get one more flagrant and you're suspended.
So it really put himself in a bad position and also the team in a bad position.
Yeah, I think that's an important point for Ant and really for this team in the clutch.
They have struggled in clutch situations a lot for this season, a lot last season before the playoffs came around.
And one of the things that they have talked about is they felt like they were too predictable in that โ
The ball would always go to Ant and it would be in his hands and then he would take the shot.
And a lot of times it was a step back three.
A lot of times it was a difficult shot, but he wants that pressure.
He wants that responsibility.
That's a really admirable and noble thing.
But I think what they have tried to stress with him is that, hey.
you also got to look for your teammates as well.
And that will make us harder to guard in the aggregate.
So, you know, in the Suns game, it did not work out.
And, you know, you could definitely question it because Jaden McDaniels was having a rare off night.
He was shooting 48% from three coming into this game, 0 for 5 against the Suns.
So you like that he did trust Jaden in that situation.
But also I think what he saw is what he's seen a lot the last couple of weeks is โ
that the Suns really did try to load up as much as they could on him and make someone else beat them.
