So weird people are talking crap about him now and talking about humble pie. This has been his demeanor every game this series, win or lose. Gives Denver their credit and doesn't shy away from the blame. He has a great attitude and is doing hella a lot with what he has to carry. As for Denver, they can thank the league for the their second life after game 2.

TOWNS & GOBERT IS DOING ABSOLUTELY NOTHING 😳

[@G4MBIT]

Towns had 23 and Gobert had 18. Ant is supposed to get 30+

[@Organized_Insanity]

Edwards is the one who did absolutely nothing this game. Jokic cooked Gobert, But Jokić cooks everyone, Atl least Gobert showed more heart than Edwards did. No one can stop Jokić from scoring when he decides to score 1st playmaker second.

[@kjthomas4553]

Ant played bad

[@lancehandy6648]

@@G4MBITbro I believe certain players have a higher standard and need to def put up points…. But to say someone is supposed to get 30+? It’s a gd team game. If a team doubles someone they have to dish it out and other players gotta step up. No coach or team wants a gameplan where one guy is “supposed to get 30+”. And Antman is coming across very humble.

Ant is great and I have no doubt he'll figure it out. He just need the right pieces. I look at this like young Jordan going against the pistons. He had to figure them out Ant has to figure out the Nuggets. Eventually he will. However I do love jokic that dude is on another planet. It's Tim Duncan but with a full bag of tricks, dude has so many differentbags to go to. He cooking some fine new Orleans gumbo out there on the wolves it's a joy to see.
