He sees him.

and says, hey, this is a good defender.

I'm going to have to bring my best.

And he does that.

This was an inside out type of attack for Jokic.

And you're asking for that, where he's forcing you to get to the free throw line, where he's not flopping.

He's being aggressive the entire time.

Although he missed a couple of bunnies, the touch looked back on a lot of his shots where it's over the shoulder, over a seven-footer, it just drops right in.

Or he's going for the foul and it just falls back in.

I love that type of Jokic.

He grabbed rebounds.

He started the break.

He set guys up with some incredible passes.

That behind the back that he had to Christian Brown.

It was going back to those type of giggle type of plays.

But 35 points against Gobert and this team, you don't say anything about the physicality.

Jokic looked like the best player in the world in this game.

With Big Val, like, specifically, I mean, he's in a rut right now, but I do think that it's because of what they keep going to.

And, like, it hasn't been working, but also I think that Adelman is just trying to see what sticks or trying to play guys through something.

Big Val is playing out of what he's supposed to be playing.
