Went four of eight from beyond the arc, so you got to see the three-point shot, but really just getting to his spots.

You got to see the floaters.

You got to see him put the ball on the deck.

You got to see him just move and operate, and he looks like one of the guys.

We've been talking about it for a couple of weeks of, do we see him at all in the playoffs?

You know, we all...

agree that we don't think that it starts that way but if you're just in a spot that you need baskets you need somebody to put the ball in the rim he's going to do that um so this is just another example of him progressing and just looking like a completely different player than just a year ago i've kind of flipped to where i think we're going to see a lot of them in the playoffs like i just do

One thing you can't question about Big Val is if he's going to show up and play hard.

And he does that in every single game.

Like, even when things aren't going his way, the effort is always there.

I mean, he's grabbing every single rebound.

He had 11 rebounds in this game in only 18 minutes.

He has 16 points.

He saw a mismatch, and he went after the mismatch.

And, I mean...

the play that shows that he had that dunk where he could have just did a regular layup.

He's like, I want to power through whoever's over there.

I want to knock everybody out of the way and make them remember.

And he's also shown that he's like, I'm going to play my way until you guys have to put me on the floor.

This was a stretch where you felt okay with Jokic not having to play every single minute, especially down the stretch.
