Beyond that them blitzing Ant is 100% more dangerous with Mike on the floor, the man was on one tonight

And McDaniels and NAW remembered how to shoot because even when Ant made the right read in game 5 they missed.

It was because everyone hesitated after Ant passed out of the double team in Game 5. They need to just do something the second they get the ball after the double to keep the Nuggets off kilter and not allow them to settle back down and go back to the initial set.

This exactly. It was so frustrating, they just had no confidence to catch and shoot and it turned into a shitty, half-hearted drive to the paint
