Injuries.

You've been texting me telling me to act like a man, basically.

That's what you're saying.

I get a text.

I'm like, all right, man.

Chill.

But...

The reason is because in the clutch this year, and some of it's been injury, this is what Denver is.

They just, when it's time to go, they go.

And Denver has hit the Nas button a couple times in the middle of the year, and it didn't fire.

And so I'm like, I don't know, maybe something's up.

But here we are at the end of the year, and when it comes to clutch time right now, I just am like, they're going to score every time.

So if they're within six points, game's over.

Yeah.

To me, it comes down to Aaron Gordon's health.

And he's still on a minute restriction.

When you throw Jokic, Murray, and Aaron Gordon on the court together, right now they're a plus 20 net rating on the season.

On a pretty good sample size.

And I'm just looking at that, and I'm like, that's the Nuggets.

Those three just haven't been together as much as usually, and that's really the difference.
