And I guess that's what the Rob Dillingham trade-up for him in the draft to get him was for. It was. That was what they were hoping.

Yeah, well, it was the extra possessions, really, that got them in that big hole. These offensive boards. Even after misses. Even after they were able to play good possessions. You'd look at Rudy Gobert's numbers. He only had two defensive rebounds. Is that Rudy's fault? Nah, it's not really Rudy's fault. He had to go out onto the perimeter to guard guys. But...

There was a hunger level that was needed. And I think sometimes it just comes from your best star being that guy who forces things a little bit. He needed to go and say, hey, referees, call something. I'm bumping into these guys. Because those guys were swarming on him, there's no doubt. But he just was a little reluctant. And yeah, it...

It carried over onto the defensive end, mainly with offensive glass. You just can't give extra shots. I mean, that's what that first half was. They got into this hole. And, yeah, you got miraculous performances from three guys to get 66 combined from Jane McDaniels, Dante DiVincenzo, and Na. That's a lot of freaking points. They needed to force a little bit more from their lead guys.

Dagnott made the calculation. Let's face guard them, and that would allow the corner threes to be totally open because you face guard them, you can pick them towards the middle, and then those guys in the corners were wide open. And they... Obviously came through, but they just got in such a deficit. This Minnesota team loves to get down.

That's what they did throughout the regular season, and that's when they fight back. And that's the characteristic of some people out there. It's my character trait. I love getting pushed to the wall. That's when I act. That's when I react. Maybe Minnesota wins game five. I wouldn't be surprised if they won game five, but to win three in a row, come on.
