Brendan Vogt

Like we don't know how to play basketball anymore.

To me, that was completely gone.

The Christmas game was awesome.

And even the one game they lost, honestly, I got some messages from some folks in Minnesota.

It's like, why is your fan base melting down?

You didn't have Aaron Gordon.

We felt like we barely survived that game.

I think losing Alexander Walker matters.

I think losing Carl Anthony Towns matters.

I know it might sound funny to some people, but he was a part of the blueprint.

And they're a little banged up.

So look, I know it could obviously go seven.

I'm no fool.

I've watched every Denver series in the Yoko Chara.

They go seven a lot.

But I just think if Denver, you know, dodged their eyes and crosses their T's, they get out of here in six or five.

And I think to add to that, I would also say the matchup has slid back in more in Jokic's favor.

Not that it was ever a nightmare, but the original Jokic defense, forget going small, it was Carl Anthony Townsend.

And a shot blocker gets to help.

I don't think you can just put Randall on Jokic and have Gobert as the shot.
