We get a player's perspective on the challenges of the playoffs.

I think Joker's going to be exhausted this series because when they don't have Rudy in the lineup, he has to really guard guys like Nas Reed.

He has to guard Julius Randle.

And then he has to give us everything he gives us on a night-to-night basis on offense.

There's always a transition, especially from the college level to the NFL level, and it's having those...

positive stressors and that growing period and there's going to be some growing pains and luckily I feel confident that I'm able to see the field well and that my growing pains are coming from hey I got to time up my footwork a little better with the routes and intricacies here and there and I'm really working hard with the coaching staff who's pushing me and have done a phenomenal job of relaying and communicating the information needed and it's up to me to take full advantage of that.

And I'm CJ Toledano and our podcast Point Game is about defying the odds.

Like LeBron heading into the playoffs without Luka and Austin Reed.

And finding ways to win no matter what.

He's the smartest player to ever play the game.

His IQ is at a level that we've never seen before.

And he knows without Luka and Austin Reed, I gotta manipulate the game.

We get a player's perspective on the challenges of the playoffs.

I think Joker's going to be exhausted this series because when they don't have Rudy in the lineup, he has to really guard guys like Nas Reed.

He has to guard Julius Randle.

And then he has to give us everything he gives us on a night-to-night basis on offense.

They've taken more command of the huddle.

They've taken more command when they're out there with the wideouts.

Confidence.

I've seen the confidence grow.
