00:00The suffocating defense that Oklahoma City was bringing to the table.

00:03Let's hear from Ant now talking about that.

00:07He realizes he probably needs to shoot the basketball more.

00:11I just got to, I definitely got to shoot more.

00:13I only took 13 shots, but I'll say probably just get off the ball a little more.

00:20Play without the ball.

00:21I think that'll be the answer because playing on the ball,

00:24they're just going to double and sit in the gaps all day.

00:26So got to go watch some film and pick it apart.

00:29We'll figure it out.

00:30I think he's a fantastic player.

00:33And I think he needs to change his lid, you know, from game to game.

00:37He keeps wearing that Braves hat and it might not be doing him any justice.

00:41You got to clean up on that side.

00:42You got to have a different drip every day.

00:44Got to get the Braves hat out of there.

00:46But he's right.

00:46Like you, at least he understand,

00:48like he's not going to be able to just take the ball up.

00:52And cause they're just going to, they're just going to bring two guys on him.

00:54I mean, that's what they're going to do.

00:55They're just going to have two guys go right on top of him.

00:57He's got to do the kind of stuff that, how does Curry always get open?

01:01You know, I know Curry's, you know, his own, his own player, but he runs around, he comes

01:06around the back.

01:07He gets away.

01:08He gets away from people and it's catch and shoot.

01:11And Ant's going to have to probably do a little bit more of that in this series.

01:16If he's going to get buckets, it's not that hard to come off screens, to dive, to swing.

01:22You can swing around a screen, stay out on the wing, or you can go to the elbow and dive

01:27down to the baseline.

01:28Curry does all that better than anybody.

01:30Curry does all that better than anybody.
