from all of our MVP discussions, Jokic's on-off numbers are always absurd, right?

But this year it's a little bit more even.

So the Nuggets are only losing the minutes with Jokic off of the floor by 2.7 points, which might sound bad.

It's not bad compared to what it's been in the past when they have completely cratered and it's been like minus 12, minus 15.

Jokic has a plus 21 point differential.

That's how it usually is.

But their depth has helped them this year.

And the fact that Jonas Valanciunas is on the roster, they have a feasible starting center moving forward.

Jamal Murray, for all intents and purposes, is having his best year of his career.

My glass half full take to this is, hey, maybe they'll be able to survive a little bit.

Yeah, the Nuggets did say that they're going to be doing testing.

That's what Sam Amick from The Athletic reported, that they are going to be doing testing the next day.

So we will have an update for you.

But for now, just mourning.

Yeah, yeah.

This was the most the Cavs looked like the Cavs all year.

I mean, you could argue the first half of that game on Christmas versus the Knicks was the best that they look.

But for the most part, this was the best game that I've seen from them this year.

And part of that is because they were fully healthy

And they ran a 10-man rotation that did not include Lonzo Ball, but it felt like they were more cohesive on the defensive side of the ball.
