Brendan Vogt

Yes, but it's just as good if he takes three with him and gets Jamal a great look.

Those are the small things I'm looking for right now.

On that second unit going small, he said, yeah, it's three times in the last seven-ish games where that's kind of worked.

The challenge with that group is organized offense.

It can be a bit of an uphill battle for them, but yes, maybe the Nuggets have found something here with a smaller look.

Adelman ended his presser with what I thought was a tiny bit of a contradiction.

I asked him, look, Adelman, that's not what I said.

David, can you imagine if I was just like Adelman?

No, I said, David, they scored 41 points in the third.

Then you guys held them to 21 in the fourth.

In my mind, it's kind of like this team in a nutshell right now.

How close do you think this group is to four quarter efforts?

And how big of a point of emphasis is it?

And he said, look, obviously that's the goal.

He thinks they're getting closer.

He went on to say, I just have extreme confidence in this group, man.

And I know it's been up and down.

Believe me, I'm coaching the team.

I'm seeing the same thing you guys are.

And I just, I thought that was a bit of mixed messaging, but ultimately Adelman still has extreme confidence in this group.
