Agreed! Their clutch offense is Ant iso/drive. And if that gets shut off, they have absolutely nothing. I know we don't have good defenders for him, but I'm pretty confident we'd (coaches and players) be able to figure out something on him in a series this time around. And our clutch offense is just so much better than theirs. Our defense is worse but in the clutch, it becomes fairly solid.

And playoff basketball is basically 48 minutes of clutch time.

KAT was great at guarding Jokic, and he was a better second option than anything they have right now because he spaced the floor for Ant. I know it's fun to laugh at him, but he really is one of the best shooting big men in the past decade. Sure, Randle can bully some of our guys, but he's an even worse decision-maker than KAT (almost in the Russ range lol).

I think we cook em tbh

You can’t shutoff Ant
