Anthony Edwards take on if the All-Star game will be a defense-first game with Chris Finch as the coach Ant: “Um, I think we just gonna take the mid-rangers out… When Shai or somebody take a mid-ranger, imma say, ‘Finchy, we don’t allow those right there.’”

Thunder vs Timberwolves matchup in the playoffs would be fun
We all know Shai can’t make 3 pointers 🤣
Haha Ant has some of the best lines
Important context per Jon Krawczynski (Wolves beat writer):
>This was all a joke about how Finch preaches 3s and layups, and how the All-Star game doesn’t rock like that. Enjoy your evening.
I know this all a joke but this is why SGA stat sheet vs value is very different. (Ik he is great defensively but I’m just talking about offensive value) when looking at offensive value Booker Curry and Mitchell all bring more value even tho they score about 2 less points per game. They bring spacing and playmaking that SGA just doesn’t. Teams are fine with a guy taking middys all game. It would be more fine if he was as good at playmaking as those 3 but he behind them too in that department. There is a difference between somebody who is great at getting points vs someone who brings offensive value. (Yes Ik he does but when compared to the examples I used.) he is better defensively than all 3 so I’m not talking about overall value.
Some lames on Twitter taking this too seriously.
Guy makes a joke about how Finch is always on his ass not to shoot midrange and people lose their damn minds
This rivalry with wolves and okc fans is hilarious on twitter
Ant bringing up Shai unprovoked again 😭
I love this new rivalry we need a playoff matchup between them ASAP
Thunder fans are *unbelievably* angry about this quote, it’s hilarious lol I love Ant
If that were true Gobert would be on the team, but its the all star game, and there ain’t defense
Thunder most sensitive online fans I’ve ever seen
This is funny and good banter.
We were robbed of a Finch vs Thibs ASG matchup. 101-98 final with Brunson playing 46 minutes.
is he in love with Shai or what
bringing him up in every interview
Rent free
Only real hoopers understand
This is more of a fun joke about how Chris Finch coaches but people are flailing and jerking their head back thinking this is a shot at their star player.
This comment section sucks.
It’s clearly a joke, it makes the reporters laugh before he even brings up Shai. The joke isn’t even at Shai’s expense.
Truly absolutely no beef to be found here.
Thunder’s Charmin ultra soft fans not gonna like it
He’s so handsome wtf
Judging by the posts in this thread, Thunder are fixing to enter their villain arc. Excellent.
Thunder sub acted like Ant was some whiny ass bitch last night regarding this. It’s beyond a joke.
SGA will **never** speak publicly about any beef/feuds, but you know he recognizes Ant as a nemesis. Ant speaks publicly and recognizes him as one too. Both are going to be a force in the NBA and both ARE ALREADY such.
….Both also are taking this shit VERY light-hearted and I love it. This is more organic than the Chet/Wemby shit for damn sure.
I don’t even think this a shot at Shai, it’s just a joke about Finch disliking the midrange lmao.
I don’t even got how OKC fans think this is some sort of jab at Shai lol
thank god he’s on our side!
This could’ve been a tweet but y’all had to tempt me with the video
Even funnier considering it was almost Daignault coaching instead of Finch
Why does he have a blue tongue?
Ant is obsessed with the OKC thunder lol.
He fucking hates those dudes so much.
I love Ant and Shai’s rivalry because it’s one of the only ones where I have truly have no side to be on. Same with Luka/Booker.
If you don’t have a middy just say that, this KD and Books team
