That's not what you need.

You need him to power up and power through.

Almond was being creative with how, you know, some nights they called for certain players or we're going to write the hot man.

And if if they're not playing well, we're going to get them out of there quick.

And they did not do that.

And then to go back to Jokic, it's it's trifling that they wasn't able to win this game with what he did in thirty five, twenty and twelve.

That's just not right.

Someone else had to step up and be there.

I think that's where you miss a player like Aaron Gordon the most on the court.

For sure.

Not just because of what he brings on the court, but it's like the mindset that they have around him.

In this game...

You know, you just talked about people are saying that Al Horford torched them.

You know who would have made sure that Al Horford wouldn't even been in that discussion?

Aaron Gordon, because that's how you make up for Jokic.

I feel like in this game, you saw switches.

Like, you see a guy, Cohen, try to defend that three-point shot.

They're doing so many shifts to try to not have him on the perimeter.

But he's, like, slower right now, and also he's trying to get back to defend or to grab the rebound to start the break.

No one else is overplaying in the same ways that I feel like Aaron Gordon is going to sacrifice for him.
