We also spoke with Jamal Murray, who

conceded really that there are some struggles at home and in the clutch and that there's a little bit of concern, and that it's uncharacteristic.

But ultimately, Jamal was explicit in saying he's still excited to see what this group can do when they get healthy.

He still believes that there's a team in there that's worth being excited about.

We also heard from Jokic.

who slightly disagreed with David Adelman's comments about the second quarter.

He said, yeah, but we had the rest of the game to win it from there, and we didn't.

He felt like the defense was good at times tonight, but there were untimely moments where they just stopped.

They weren't competitive enough, and those were those wolves runs that Jokic feels like really cost them the game.

He told me his body feels great.

He said, my body feels great.

I'm in good shape.

It's about back to where it was before the injury.

So there's that.

But he was not as excited about Jamal, or at least explicitly so, about the possibilities.

I asked, do you think you have enough time left to put it all together and find the best versions of yourself?

He said, hopefully.

And later there was a question about how excited he is about this group getting back together.

And the longer version was essentially a version of we will see.

Jokic in one of those reflective moments.
