00:00They got blitzed by over 40 in game three. What does Shea do? Shea, the reigning league MVP, a man you watched hoist the MVP trophy just a few days ago, goes out there on your home turf and drops 40, 10, and 9. I'm going to repeat that again.
00:1840, 10, and 9. And your response is, well, you know what? I don't think I struggled. I made the right play. When it was a relatively pedestrian offensive performance for you, that's inexcusable as far as I'm concerned. Ant-Man is so much better than that.
00:35And the reason why the Minnesota Timberwolves are in this position to begin with is because he didn't just focus on doing the right thing. Sometimes you have to engage in hero ball. Sometimes you got to be a little bit selfish. Sometimes you got to go out there and display a level of aggression that might turn people off until you turn them on because you're a showstopper. That's what I was looking for from Ant-Man last night. I did not get it.
00:59You know what? It's not a matter of him struggling or not because you can make a legitimate argument that he didn't struggle because he made the right plays as he articulated, or you can go with what Markeith said and then you can say, yeah, you shot one for seven from three point range and you did struggle. Here's my deal. Are you the superstar player you proclaim to be or not? The fact of the matter is that Ant-Man is special. We all know this. And you saw how special Shea Gilgis Alexander was. That individual pride is what I was looking for.
01:27I don't want to hear something like I made the right play. Okay. When you play, when you play a 48 minute game, your season potentially is on the line. Nobody's really coming back from a 3-1 deficit. That's very, very rare in NBA history and the conference finals. And you find yourself in that precarious of circumstances. If you lose this game, one would think that you would embrace the level of aggression that's needed in order to do all that you can do to ensure that your team does not lose.
01:56That's what Shea Gilgis Alexander did.
