But right now, how the Nuggets delivered their best defense yet.

As we just said, it's all about that physicality that they brought to the table.

This is how he can be more selfish within the offense.

This is where he can go and say, actually, it's my turn.

I agree with everything you guys said.

I think it's some of what

cam was talking about with just sort of not quite like the overthinking it concept you know you probably think okay at all times i should just get the ball to this guy sometimes that guy wants you to go take that shot so you know it is a little bit like cam has done a lot well for this team he really has when he's been healthy but it's like even in that game last night he only got 11 shots they just don't find him so i think he has to go and take some of those like you outlined

Recontextualization.

excuse me, recontextualizes that opening night effort against the Golden State Warriors where he launched a bunch of threes, didn't hit them.

There were other things that were, at the time, shocking about that performance.

It's clearly an adjustment that Jokic has decided.

It needs to be a card in their hand in the postseason because teams are going to do some version of what all these teams have done to him in the paint to take away the pick and roll.

And so I do think that...

If you can't handle that physicality and if the corner shooters can't shoot you out of it, some of it might just have to be Jokic taking those shots.

I don't mind him taking 13 threes.

You hate when he misses nine of them.

And I think he'd rather try to get comfortable with that outcome more so than just it being like, I'm resigned to this tonight in the moment because we can't do it.

Like, we've all seen those games, but I think right now he's trying to have more of a, like, this is the premeditated approach.

Maybe that's the wrong word because he never uses it, but...

You get what I'm saying.
