Seven years of college down the drain. May as well join the fucking Peace Corps.

Drew, being a teacher, I'm sure you remember the Faber College motto.

Now you're talkin

Haha, heat of the moment comment early on. Jaden is shooting like shit from 3 this playoffs. Love that he responded after the first miss.

He is screening more than he probably ever has also

Wolves are using Jaden McDaniels as a screener a lot. This makes his involvement not be contingent on making perimeter jumpers.

Aside from the defense, rebounding, this has been one of the keys tonight as well.

Interesting, I hadn't noticed that. Nice adjustment.

KAT was 0 for 4 on threes, but I thought he had a terrific half. Joker seems much more motivated on offense when Karl is out.

yeah, except for that 3rd foul, gah

Have you ever know a guy who looks a little like Bob Myers not be a prick? I haven't.

I get it Kek, I was wound up too. But I thought he was great in that half. They only have him with one steal, not so sure about that.

LMAO, I can't think of any either

If Jaden continues to add grown man strength over the next couple years, I could see him playing the 4 eventually and not just be a point of attack defender. I think he could be a real disruptor there eventually.

Couple thoughts:

First, Fuck YES!

Second, this game is far from over. We owned them in the second half of the first quarter, but it was more even in the second, and we know Denver can explode offensively. We need to be mentally ready for the possibility that they will cut this lead down and not get frustrated. We need to keep consistent, relentless pressure on the defensive end especially, and keep owning the boards.

Third, this team is so much better when Jaden is an offensive threat, especially if he can hit those 3s. With the attention that defenses will give to Ant and KAT, he needs to be ready to let it fly in the right moments

Fourth, KAT needs to be careful about fouls, and he's missed a couple shots he usually makes, but he's been really good on the boards and moving the ball. When he plays under control and with confidence, he's such a huge boost. I hope he doesn't get frustrated.

Fifth, defend, defend, defend!

Sixth, YES! I just heard a clip of Ant saying they need to keep their foot on the gas! That's exactly the message.

Denver shooting 19% on 3s. That's not going to continue. We're shooting 24% on 3s. That could continue.
