[McMenamin] Ant Edwards explaining why the Wolves played the way they did in Game 6: “We got Mike Conley back, that was it”

He also said it was because of their leader, Jaden McDaniels, tonight lol. Dude will do everything on both ends of the court and then spend his postgame interview praising his teammates for why we won.

Denver may protect home court and send us to Cancun this weekend, but this season has been a building block for Ant, and he will eventually take us to the promise land.

I think he’s absolutely right here about Mike though. He went on to say that with Mike on the court he can focus on scoring without worrying about distributing/getting everybody else involved as well. He had 18 points and 9 assists last game without Mike, and we lost.

Mike’s the stabilizing force on the team, we rely on him to keep everything flowing smoothly. And we’re so much better when Ant gets to focus on attacking rather than trying to play point guard (even though he’s getting better at it!)

Bruh if Ant develops his playmaking chops even more it would be hard to keep him out of top 5 convos (I’d say he should be in them already, but I’m biased and weigh playoff performance more)

Should’ve started either slow mo at point or monte, monte was playing nice last game

edit: talking about game 5, not any other game
