Would love to see Ant find his shot.
1/17 from 3 over the past 3 games.

1/23 over the past 4. But it’s a win! It's kind of been since the AS break really although these past few games have obviously stand out. Ant has only had 3 games where he made 40% of his 3s or more since the all star game. It would fit with Ant being a little tired. He's played so well overall in the last month, but he's been shouldering a lot of the load and that adds up. Ant is still young and maybe that carries over into how he's dealing with it and taking care of his body? Add in a new baby and Ant might just need some sleep/rest. I'm sure that a lot of guys are tired and other players have bigger roles than Ant. Maybe Ant just hasn't yet appreciated what he needs to do to deal with fatigue.

The team I watched last night looked tired, physically and mentally tired. Ant especially, and moreso on the defensive end, but he isn't the only one who looks drained. I think it's more work to be the hunted than the hunter, and KAT's absence might be starting to be felt because it's put more minutes (and workload) on the other bigs and the other scorers.

1/19... 0/5 overall today. Everything is short. Dead legs? ANT played with the Olympic team or did something the past offseason so it's likely that he's hitting a wall. Hopefully he adjusts.

Yeah, I believe the Wolves will get a week or so off during the play-in so that should help Ant get rested up for the playoffs. Also, if the Wolves have their seeding clinched or settled, they should shut him down.

I highly doubt ant is getting up for 3am feedings. Either the mom is or he's paying a live in nanny. He's probably in a guest room with noise cancelling headphones or he sound proofed the room. As a dad, there's not much you can do unless the baby is on formula. I've noticed he has pretty big wraps on his knees when he's not in the game. I wonder if his knees are still causing pain.

I got up with her at night and got the baby ready and then handed baby off to her. Or there is breast milk that is stored in fridge. Heat it a little and voila: dad doing it all.

What does his girlfriend do when he's on the road? Why wouldn't she do that when he's home? Like I said, they probably have a live in nanny. If he's doing it, it because he wants to and unlike most of us, he can catch plenty of naps during the day if he needs to. I would concede it's playing a minor role in his fatigue, but I'm guessing it's something else. In fact, I'd say height not be in as great of shape as he should be. I was telling my wife last night, that he looks like one of those guys who's going to get fat when he retires. Maybe his eating habits are still not the best. Undoubtedly, more has been asked of him since kat went down.

Zulgad thinks it's the finger injury on the off hand (guide hand) that's throwing off his shot. I think the shooting downturn goes back further than the injury though. Either way, hopefully shooting 5/12 will get him going again. Sometimes you just need to see it go through the net a few times to remember what it feels like.

The fact that he's still with his girlfriend after the whole "incident" that he had early in the year tells me thats an interesting relationship where its probably more of a 1 way street with who's setting the rules. I'm sure he's still getting his rest. (Hopefully less "call of duty"). I am actually not joking about that. I forget where I heard it but the whole video game thing is an issue with NBA players. (Well...probably society in general). Players stay up playing and dont get rest.

I think with Ant it's more his eating habits than video games. Besides if it isn't video games it's players going out to club till 7AM. I'd much rather he stay home and chill.
