They were definitely starting to click with just Rudy but even then it was still clunky at times.

Ant and a lot of the other players are free flowing players but Towns and Rudy really aren’t. I would love for it to work out but it’s hard to see them being serious contenders.

I that free flowing is a little mis-leading. That is how Ant plays his best but I don't think that is winning basketball and will only get him to the Kyrie level - great individual player but team sucks. He is getting better at the team game but still a long way to go.


I prob should’ve clarified the free flowing a bit better. I don’t mean without structure, just more of an open style of play with spacing and transition. Similar to when Naz is in and the team pushes the pace and becomes more aggressive on defense. I def still want him to play within the team concept.

Do you still want to trade KAT for a bag of chips or 30 in 30 mins changed your mind?

This is a game where the Naz loss really really hurts.

Jaden McDaniels’ punch is devastating, they’ve really needed him.

This team is just so weird. They have a lot of talent, but you never know who is going to produce. Sometimes even in the same game, players (particularly Ant), can be horrible for stints and magnificent for others.

Who thought Prince would help carry us today?

Yes bipolar, that 3 pt shot without a single pass is really bad. If it goes in I may give him a pass :D

Rudy taking a swing at Anderson and Jaden breaking his fist punching a wall was not how I expected this game to go.

Less than a minute to go. Don't do anything stupid and bring it home.

I that free flowing is a little mis-leading. That is how Ant plays his best but I don't think that is winning basketball and will only get him to the Kyrie level - great individual player but team sucks. He is getting better at the team game but still a long way to go.


I prob should’ve clarified the free flowing a bit better. I don’t mean without structure, just more of an open style of play with spacing and transition. Similar to when Naz is in and the team pushes the pace and becomes more aggressive on defense. I def still want him to play within the team concept.

Yes, the last few minutes was all the goods and bad of Ant. Wish he pass a little earlier on those turnovers. At the same, the guy has twice the heart of Kyrie and try to do everything including awesome D

Anyone complaining about Ant tonight should have their fandom revoked. He's not perfect but he's done everything he can to try and help this team win.

Are you sure he didn't break his hand from punching Gobert in the locker room
