Ant speaks about getting open and off ball movement/playmaking in his postgame interviews but I saw none of that this first half.

The Wolves need to do better on both ends. Tighten up on defense, force turnovers. More points in the paint. More cutting and better spacing.

lol Jokic gets mauled. Scratched allover every game and doesn’t get nearly the amount of calls SGA does

The way they let Caruso do whatever he wanted to do on defense vs Jokic was crazy to watch for an entire game. I just don't understand how Dort and Caruso are allowed to play football and McDaniels better keep his hands to himself.

Best was just watching Chet smash into Ant and no foul called.

I don’t understand why this team has a different set of rules

In general ANT has been just as disappointing in this years wcf as he was in last years wcf.

Thus far at least...

Wolves just need to do the little things right: TO 12 to 7 and ORB 6 to 11. Fix those and it's a tie game.

5 points from free throws.

16 points from straight buckets.

Haters: he's just flopping for his points.

Has anybody been watching the ESPN2 simulcast w/Legler and whoever the other guy is? You might prefer the analysis there to the main telecast.

She says it like it is his nickname. I don't think she knows it is a negative term.

Thunder fans HAVE to defend SGA.. so disregard anything they say. The guy makes no real attempt to make shots when he's grifting for free throws.. they're not legitimate basketball shots they're meant to appear like they are in order to trick refs into calling fouls and sending him to the free throw line. If free throws didn't exist he wouldn't be doing it because they have no shot at going in.

Love the adjustment to set screens at halfcourt for Anthony Edwards. Gives him more space to operate, rather than getting doubled directly at the three-point line.

Someone's gotta pull her aside or something. Lol. Just to make sure she knows.

If she does understand then fair enough. Let her ride.

She’s absolutely insufferable. Possibly the worst announcer in the NBA’s history.
