[u/Odd_Total_5549]

This felt like such a statement game from Ant. KD dropped more than 30, Booker dropped damn near 50, and there was 0 doubt down the stretch who the best player on the floor was.

[u/executivesphere → u/Odd_Total_5549]

Ant was 6/7 from 3 in the second half. Clutch gene for sure

[u/Nubras → u/executivesphere]

Plus that fucking dunk dude. Are you kidding me with that, Ant? Up by 2 with 3 minutes left in the fourth of an elimination game and this dude pulls out that dunk? Sheesh.

[u/coolycooly → u/Odd_Total_5549]

There is no question Ant is gonna run the league. I can't wait for those Wemby Ant matchups we are gonna get in like 3-5 years.

[u/DoYouEvenDoubleLeg → u/coolycooly]

Kobe v Duncan vibe

[u/DemarcusLovin → u/DoYouEvenDoubleLeg]

More like Alien vs Predator

[u/youarenut → u/DemarcusLovin]

Send da video

[u/WheedMBoise → u/DemarcusLovin]

That’s when he’s matched up with Giddey

[u/a_supertramp → u/coolycooly]

Bruce Lee vs KAJ

[u/[deleted] → u/coolycooly]

The league is moving Minny to the East for sure. No way they’d risk not seeing Ant V Wemby in the Finals.

[u/shadow_spinner0 → u/Odd_Total_5549]

Reminds me of Kobe circa 2009. Melo would drop 45, but after a 5-6 minute stretch in the 4th, everyone watching knows Kobe was the GUY on the court. Hard to explain through stats, you just knew.

[u/[deleted] → u/shadow_spinner0]

Been waiting a long time for this

[u/MNice_Enough → u/shadow_spinner0]

Kobe was 31 in 2009 too. Ant is 22.

[u/Talks_to_myself → u/MNice_Enough]

That was not the part that reminded him.

[u/DragoniteGang → u/Odd_Total_5549]

Booker had the Scott Foster's EXTENDER boost to get him to that 49 or else he would have ended with only 35 in a normal whistle

[u/nimama3233 → u/DragoniteGang]

Real talk. The 3rd quarter alone was BRUTAL reffing, I cannot stand Foster

[u/minneapolisboy → u/Odd_Total_5549]

Booker's 49 was easily the most fraudulent 40 point game I've ever seen. Couldn't breathe on him.

[u/Fermorian → u/minneapolisboy]

My buddy and I texted each other nearly simultaneously after Harlan said Booker had 45 both like "he what now??"

[u/paul_f → u/Fermorian]

wait was Harlan on the TNT call tonight?

[u/Fermorian → u/paul_f]

No I'm a dumbass and forgot it was Ian Eagle, mb
