A part of it was the best way they had been guarding. A part of it was (that) my shot wasn’t falling. It’s simply robust as a result of I do know if I might have performed as much as par with how I usually play, we might have gained this sequence. And there’s a variety of issues that would have been totally different as a crew, however I do know if I had performed my half, we might have gained the sequence. And I’ve gotta reside with that.”

One thing I assumed didn’t get sufficient consideration in these playoffs was how a lot Michael Porter Jr’s protection slipped in comparison with final 12 months. He held up final 12 months, however the Nuggets had been scared of him guarding Ant or KAT 1 on 1 and that led to a variety of their doubling. – 2:13 AM
