The Pistons, first and foremost a defensive team.

I just feel like that's ingrained in a team very early on, and the Nuggets are just an offensive team.

They've got to work extra hard to be better defensively.

That's the core of this team.

That's the identity of this team.

And I think that's a good point.

Real quick vote.

They have, I think, enough of these guys to be a physical defense.

Bruce, Aaron Gordon, Peyton Watson, Christian Brown, Spencer, Spencer.

That's five of your top seven.

Yeah, I think that's enough.

The thing is, like you said, Adam, that has to be like their first focus almost.

And it's just not right now.

right and then for peyton if when he comes back and you're fully healthy can that be his point of emphasis again and not being a second option as much as he was and it's not a pretty or a sexy thing for it to be your first focus right scoring points is a lot more fun getting out on the fast break for a dunk off a yokich pass a lot more fun than being physical on defense but that has to be the priority for those guys

Well, that's significant.

I don't think so either.

We've seen crazier things, though.

He's going to come back for the Thunder.

I do think him not going on that road trip, Peyton Watson didn't go on that road trip either, correct?

Correct.
