OK. So we know Towns is struggling mightily with his shot in the WCF. He's had three of the worst shooting games of the season... and career.

But look closer... and we see that statistically, Towns isn't playing like himself in any way.

He has only ONE turnover in 3 games.
He has only 6 fouls in 3 games.

For the better part of a decade, we've all been begging him to figure out ways to avoid offensive fouls and stay on the court longer. And he's done it! Only for it to mean he gets more attempts to clank off the rim.

Irony? Or something.

Heh, yeah, it's like whack-a-mole with him. He has a hard time putting it all together for any one game. Even a lot of his good games in the playoffs had some areas that were iffy (like foul trouble).

Ant deserves criticism too though. These games have been close and if either one of our #1 or #2 options could make 50% of their shots in any of these games, we'd be right in this thing. Ant's defense hasn't been good either. The "he's only 22-YO" excuse doesn't hold as much water when a week or two ago he was being compared to Michael Jordan and supposedly the next face of the NBA.
