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.

Right. Yeah, Dave, I thought especially in the Laker game, they're seven for forty seven. But it was great ball movement to wide open shooters who always make them and they just missed tonight. I thought largely it was pretty good process. You know, there were a few maybe rushed or forced shots.

But in general, the reason that they had 29 was I do think in the second half especially, they did start to pass those up and get downhill more. You saw Ant attacking the basket. You saw Nasri doing it. You saw DiVincenzo go into the basket. And so I do not think this was a case of just irresponsibly chucking. They were missing shots. And, you know, it is β

Weird, I would say, because this is the team that had the fourth highest three-point percentage in the league during the regular season and the fifth most makes in the league during the regular season. So this is a very, very good three-point shooting team. No one made more threes in the regular season than Anthony Edwards did. And he was one for five. He was 0 for 11 in the Lakers game.
