Uncharted?

Uncharted.

Uncharted territory.

Uncharted.

Either way, I think Jokic just kind of bounces back quickly.

I expect him to be dominant soon enough.

I almost feel like there was such a mental exertion to get to the point where he came back that now that he's back, everyone else is kind of like, all right, now we'll just kind of snap back to who we were.

And I think it takes a little more kind of active management over the dynamic than that.

And you aren't guaranteed it even when your team's great.

Not at all.

But that is also what makes it so great when it hits.

No.

Yes.

With Yolk still on a man's restriction, with no Aaron Gordon, you want Aaron Gordon in your three most physical matchups in a row of the year, of course, right?

There's no doubt about it.

And the physicality part of this is 100% true.

Part of this is this is a team that revamped their outside shooting.

percentage wise, they're the best shooting team in the NBA against the Pistons.

They shot 33% against the Knicks.

They shot 26%.
