Duvalier Johnson

I feel like he kind of sold this game a little bit.

The Nuggets were in control, and I feel like everybody just kind of took their foot off the gas with like two minutes left and allowed the Cavs to kind of get back in.

He left that lineup in with Bruce Brown, which just basically left the starters out for...

well beyond the three minute mark like it was like getting really late and you're like bro where's yokich where's cam john where's like i don't understand why aren't the starters in right now and it just they were just bleeding points just like and it wasn't the calves didn't go on a big run it was just like the nuggets were just slowly kind of lackadaisically it just they they it felt like they thought they were going to win this game and they were just

Felt like they just had to wait it out.

And it seemed like they were going to, but I just, I don't think that obviously, I mean, obviously they didn't play it right.

But I, I put this at the, at the feet of David Adelman, honestly.

I mean, you know what I feel like he's missing is his aggression.

He doesn't have any aggression about him currently.

He's, like, really just looking for, if it's there, I'll take it.

If it's not, I'm not going to force it.

I'm not going to make it happen.

Like...

It was strange.

That last possession should, by all rights, have just been Jokic taking Jared Allen and stuffing him into the basket.

But he was, like you said, stalling and waiting for the double so that he could just kick it out to Tim Hardaway Jr., which is fine.

But that was a deep three.

They're in a position where they have to score.

Yeah.

I just, like, in years past, it'd be like, oh, Jokic is going to, we're going to get some crazy footwork.
