Ant was really the only one that had any chance of doing that against the Thunder. It seemed like Nasri, Julius Randle, Nikio, they forgot how to dribble sometimes. And so I think they need to somehow, some way, I don't know how they do it, but they have to prioritize getting someone who can get their own shot and really make that happen.

And Thunder have a way of making you forget how to dribble, too. Yeah. Yeah. They know they are incredibly incredible defensively. But I mean, we did see like in game three, we saw the difference it makes when you when Ant had some, you know, someone else to help him. And, you know, a 40 point win. Now, would they have done that all the time? No.

But I think that if he had guys who were consistently making shots and were able to help carry some of the playmaking load, they would have just been so much harder to guard. And I just think that they were way too easy to guard. this, you know, in this series and, and, um, it made it, you know, it made Mark Dagnall's work and job pretty easy, like takeaway number five and we'll be just fine.

And, and so the priority in the off season has to be able to find someone or get that improvement internally from McDaniels, uh, you know, to, to, to get ant a wingman capable of creating, uh, like from the perimeter. Yeah.

Yeah, I mean, they look loaded for bear for sure. And I think you hit the nail on the heads, you know, with their defense is the most replicable thing any team has ever in this tournament. And so being able to rely on that every single night or certainly four out of every five nights like they had in this series is an incredible luxury for them. Do they have a weakness? I do think so. I think that

A disciplined defensive team can do a better job of forcing the ball into Caruso's hands, into Wallace's hands, into the door's hands to shoot from the perimeter. And there are going to be nights where they make those shots. No question about it. But I think that there are also what we saw from the Nuggets.

more so was that there are going to be a lot of nights where maybe those shots aren't falling. And maybe it's harder for Shea to get to his spots and get to that mid-range or Jalen Williams. And so I think there's an element of hope that is involved in an approach like that. But I do think a well-coached, disciplined coach
