Nice shot Ant, but that is NOT the offense we need to run in these situations. Sorry.

Does Finch have his trigger finger on Mike?

Welp, that was that. Ant just single-handedly closed the game.

Yeah, NAZ on both ends. We really played good defense when we needed to.

Julius and his ass were on the bench where they belong at the end of the game.

These are the games where you have to conclude that the Jaden offensive breakout is never gonna come, because this was a golden opportunity for him to put Dallas away and he's back to just being there.
And why he should not be untouchable and why i would include him in any Giannis trade. Or a trade for a similar talent to Giannis. Supposedly his trade value is so high. So just include him so you have to give up less other stuff.

The fact we have to watch Ant play hero ball is an indictment on everyone else. Hopefully he can bring us home, but that's not always the case.
I wasn't able to watch but this was my suspicion from checking in on the play by play and game commentary.
Doesn't seem like a good tone setting game coming out of the break... Too bad

Finch had Ant as a set-up guy for a good chunk of the game (especially in Q1 and Q3), but Jaden and Randle, who are usually the beneficiaries when Finch gets the ball out of Ant's hands were AWFUL tonight. They were a combined 7-27 from the field with 10 turnovers. Ant, Naz, and Rudy saved our butts. Frankly, Ayo wasn't all that impressive either.
Thankfully Ant donned his cape and won the game for us, but it should have never come down to that.
