It always is.

And I mean, even last postseason where he had two real, real kind of alarming blips against the Thunder, two games where he just really wasn't that good.

And his numbers in that series compared to some of the other playoff series look like a dip.

You compare them to what everyone else did against that team.

And you just go, yeah, I think he's going to be just as dominant.

And I actually do still think that this roster is better built and better suited on paper to help him in all the ways that these teams have keyed in on making his life more miserable.

So I just expect to see Jokic looking like Jokic when the postseason starts.

As frustrated as I've been with wherever his head or his focus is at now, I would just be truly shocked if it's not there in round one.

Blown away.

It will all sharpen up.

It just seems unlikely that he won't, right?

I mean, as much as we've seen him go through different versions of funks throughout his career at different times throughout the year,

It's never been the postseason.

It's never been the postseason.

There was one moment, one moment where it felt like what D-line articulated this.

Was I wrong about everything?

Like everything.

And that was when it looked like they might lose to the Jazz.

And that was even before Jokic was Jokic.

Exactly.
