Brendan Vogt

A person would have picked any other day.

He was so good.

That one tap and he had over the back of his head.

I agree.

Although I think what happened tonight was there was no one to pass it to, and there was only Mason Plumlee and Bismack Biambo to guard him.

So I think it would have been impossible for him to have anything less than 23 points.

No, he's been so locked in down the stretch.

My favorite quote we've heard in the last month was Adelman saying, you can see the joy in Jokic's game coming back in.

Because Jokic will never say this.

He is a very graceful liar to my face all the time.

He'll say every game is the same.

All right.

Respectfully, I've watched you play for eight years.

They're not.

There's some games you don't seem to have it, brother.

Emotionally.

Some of these games down the stretch, all these games down the stretch, he has treated it that way.

And it's just been essential.

If Denver was going to take this time to rally around anything and find their identity and, like, crystallize that, right, rediscover their identity, he had to be A-plus yoke.

And I feel like he understood that, but he turned it on.
