He just was that exactly in this case. Well, on the other side, yeah, we can go through all the things. I thought Chris Finch putting Dante DiVincenzo on Shea in that first half was a mistake.

Yeah, everybody complaining. But listen, Nikhil Alexander-Walker does his game of his career in the postseason. That was awesome to be able to do that. He was really good. I thought DiVincenzo was, even though he hit those threes, He was sloppy. And so they're looking for another point guard.

That's what this Minnesota Timberwolves will be looking at in a couple months when we're looking at who they are and what they are. They got to the conference finals last year. They need somebody to replace Mike Conley, in all honesty. They needed a ball handler to be able to do something to get into the lane. And Jane McDaniels was chipping in. Kiel Alexander was their backup point guard.
