So that was in response to, to that.

And he said, I think he's sometimes is, uh, you know, he's trying to make the perfect play, but tonight he was decisive.

He also came to the defense of Christian Brown and said, we all need to take a breath and realize who CB's been guarding this week.

He's been incredible.

These are all-star Hall of Fame players.

He said, I think his explosion is still coming, meaning athletically, but I do think the speed and conditioning that he's known for, you saw that tonight.

Kind of coming to his defense for obviously getting cooked by Shea last night, but holding Kevin Durant to 11 points right after that is a phenomenal bounce back performance.

yep cam johnson was interesting you know he hasn't had many podium games this year i don't know how many times vote you've had him to the podium but i don't think it's been too many so it's kind of nice to get to talk to him today and he was asked if there's still enough time for the nuggets to get it together and he said yes

And he was asked why he believes that.

And he says, one, because I have faith in who we are and what we're doing.

And two, because we've seen it already, especially earlier.

It might have only been a few weeks, but we had training camp, we had preseason, and now just kind of getting back to that.

it was i mean he was very resolute like yes of course i still believe in the absolute ceiling of this team and we just have to be back to what we saw at the beginning of the year i asked him if he feels like he's still trying to figure out what his role and rhythm is and where to fit in or if he knows and now it's just about executing it and getting comfortable doing that and he was very thoughtful about it and he said there's definitely still an element of figuring it out

And it kind of changes a little bit from here just based on how we're playing and who's playing.

So I thought this answer was actually pretty revealing because it was his way of basically saying, I'm still trying to figure out what my contribution is to the team.

Not that I'm just trying to be more aggressive or this or that, but I'm still trying to figure that out.

And then said, hey, like when Peyton comes back, it probably changes again.

That's how I interpreted that comment.

So kind of an interesting one from him.

But he did say that he feels like he's getting a clear picture and it allows him to be more decisive and decisiveness is key for him.
