You'd think they'd try and get ANT attacking Luka and Kyrie but they don't, it's weird. As of right now Luka doesn't expend any energy on defense.

Imagine when deepfakes get advanced enough to alter video replays in real time. Like that Ant shot clock violation, wouldn't take much to make it look like the light went off after he released it

Ant's free throw shooting is ridiculous.

Anthony Edwards' free-throw shooting has been a tragedy, this series.

They aren't going to let Ant do that because they don't have to respect their shooters nor anyone else with the ball in space.

Basketball IQ in the NBA is what separates the older teams and the teams of today. Good Lord, Minny is beyond dumb.

Did Minny quit? Where the hell is the energy?
