Defense drastically improved as well

Thought he was quite lost tonight, but he played 44 minutes.

overall I agree though

the 3 guard lineups still have no chance of stopping anyone

Mikal Bridges?

Probably not a better offensive player, but I'd say Bridges is a better player.

The Nets wouldn't give him up for a kings ransom though. Where some here would give up Ant for next to nothing.

Better overall player for sure. Definitely not a better offensive player than Ant.

I hadn't looked at his numbers this season. He has fallen off from last season's Brooklyn numbers quite a bit. I just knew he was around 21M/year

Yeah, when he'd played in like 4 games... Always a great time to draw a conclusion!

How is it a conclusion? Stating a fact and sharing stats is not a conclusion.

Saying he has been bad in 4th quarters is not the same as saying he's always bad in 4th quarters.

Except he's not bad in the 4th quarters.

The suggestion wasn't that he had a couple bad 4th quarters, the suggestion was that he was bad in the 4th quarter. Ignoring previous years data and pointing to 4 games is silly. You certainly feel that way when people suggest Scoot is a bust when they point out his poor stats in small amount of games. And I agree with you!

It's the same deal here. Can't change your methodology to reach your desired conclusion.

Ant has scored a lot in 4th Q's

however, in that snapshot you showed, there are only 2 players with more averaging more than 6 shots, Ant at 7.0 and Fox at 6.2. I'd imagine those two players average fewer points/shot than most of the others. Ant's at 1.30; Giannis is 1.72, for example

in other words, using raw points is leaving out some pretty important context

Getting shots is an underrated and valuable skill.

He was bad in 4th quarters…… when I made that post….. a month ago. Of which we have not revisited.

Also forgot to note this, but saw Vince Carter having a lengthy conversation with Shaedon at halftime.

That's fucking awesome! Shae needs guys in his ear telling him to assert himself. That guy is going to dominate the league if he wants it bad enough... if not he'll just be another all star.

I didn't realize you were one of the people who were on that train.

Glad you raised your hand!
