This is definitely affecting Ant. Eye test shows a night/day comparison.

I’ve never seen Ant work so hard to get to the rim, meet a defender only to dish it out to the 3 pt line so often. He’s clearly avoiding contact, that could worsen his injury, and is making some very uncharacteristic decisions.

A night/day comparison.

I will say this...Dallas is quite a bit more athletic than Denver on the whole. Athleticism seems to affect Ant more than strength from a defender.

Dallas could be a reason. But i think ANT is really injured ( as is Mike) and it does not help. I remember saying after 70 games that we should not push for the 1st seed as West was packed anyway and rest players to make sure they are 100% at PO time. ANT play way too much, Mike playing 33-35 min in regular seasons was dumb decisions. All teams have injured players but ANT level hurt the team a lot right now. And Mike being bad was the main reason why we lose game 1. Hopefully we bounce tomorrow. Go Wolves!

I've had the same opinion all year. It annoyed me when Finch kept his starters in way too long when they had a 20 plus point lead. I wanted the starters rested more and especially Conley. I also wanted the backups to get more minutes. I wanted Finch to try and get Shake and Troy Brown going as they were both successful in previous stint with more minutes. Same thing with Monte Morris, I wanted him to get minutes too. Shake and then Monte were very successful in the past when they were starters. Instead, Mike played and when he didn't NAW was miscast as a starting point guard. Now, we find out that home court advantage is no advantage at all. Finishing 6th may be just as good as finishing third, so even if resting starters costs games (and it may not), you need to rest them. Look what happened to Thibs and the Knicks this year, Pretty much an entire lineup of injured players by end of season and look at all the 40 minute plus games some of their starters played. Don't be like Thibs! Look what has happened to Jimmy Butler, Zach Lavine and KAT after enduring multi-years of Thibs. Finch may not be as bad as Thibs, but he's overplaying guys too.

I am coming to hate the Jordan comparisons, but I just noticed at age 23, Jordan was 1-9 in playoff games.

Big thing for Edwards in terms of socialising with other stars, change context and learning new things under other coaching staff and from other stars. A big summer for him.

My brother just sent me this. Ant is gonna be in the **** again and not in a good way. He got 3 women pregnant in a very short period of time. Gotta wonder how many more might be out there.

He is taking it up to the Wilt the Stilt level, trying to score 100 a night.

On the list of "crimes" committed by NBA player, it barely registers on the scale. Is it what I would personally do? No. Does it affect my view of wanting him on my basketball team? Of course not.

It is, but the consequences often aren't.

I mean if I had a 250 million dollar contract I'd probably wanna have 25 kids.

But there would be like an interview and questionnaire first and I'd probably start doing some serious research into becoming Mormon.
Oh noes Ant to the Jazz confirmed!

In all seriousness though this is pretty damn sad he isn't learning at all from his mistakes.
