When you don't have Julius Randle to kind of help with that physicality with just the bucket getting, it just really becomes very hard to keep up with the Thunder offensively. And that's what we kind of saw in that game. They just could not find enough buckets offensively. to keep up in the track meet with OKC when, when, when Randall's struggling.

Yeah, I mean, it was a really good adjustment from him to attack the rim even more. I mean, Oklahoma City packs the paint, and they do everything they can to take that away. But I just think that Ant was hell-bent on getting there in Game 2, and he really just put the pedal to the metal, got downhill, and started to create things. And even...

On the empty possessions, when that happened, it was always Ant driving and kicking to the corner for a wide-open corner three. Most of the time, they were missing them. And so the simplest thing is the hardest for the Timberwolves right now, and that's shooting the ball. And they were in the regular season. They were fourth in the league in three-point shooting. They shot it well.

They shot above 37% as a team, and Ant was 39% from three on super high volume. Yeah. You go one for nine from three. They went 11 for 39 overall from three-point range. They just have not been able to hit in these first two games. I would credit OKC's defense a lot for that. The scrambling closeouts, the frenetic style that they're playing is speeding the Wolves' shooters up some.

But ultimately, they are getting open looks, and they're missing a lot of those looks. And if they start to fall, if those shots start to fall, then this series can turn quickly. But if they don't, then it's going to be over very quickly.

I mean, I, I would say it's more the shots as, because like, I mean, they, because they are in by nature, a team that turns the ball over a lot. Right. Um, I don't think they're going to get to a point where they're only committing nine turnovers in a game. Now I thought actually 14 tonight wasn't terrible. Um, but they did give up 22 points off of those.

They gave up 31 points off of 19 turnovers in game one. Um, So really what I do think is like if you're looking at realistic pathways for them to turn things around here, I think the biggest thing is for them to knock down shots because we've seen them do that in the regular season at a very high clip. We've seen them do it and some games in the playoffs as well at a very high clip.

So that is attainable. I don't know against this defense with a team that is careless by nature if it's realistic to ask them to really cut down their turnovers or
