I'm taken to this Norman Powell.

I like him.

We don't know yet what their late game strategy is going to look like because they have yet to play a game with all three of Bam Adebayo, Tyler Hero, and Norman Powell.

The fact that they're going to have all three of those playmakers late, especially considering the way that they're sharing the ball and moving around right now.

They closed it out with Niko Jovic, who had an unbelievable game against Portland.

But they closed it out with him being the primary ball handler.

They've closed out other games with Jaime Jaquez Jr.

The options right now...

are endless for this team offensively with record-setting quarters like over and over and over again.

It's been really impressive to watch thus far.

Did Spoh start using Jovic differently like immediately after Jokic was like, hey, this guy's good.

Interesting timing.

There's some motivation for Jovic going up against Jokic and then being able to respond to that.

But the usage rate was simply because you don't have Bam Adebayo as your big man.

So now all of a sudden he's got to be playing some of that role where he's playing small ball five at times.

I mean, they've deployed Kashad Johnson.

Using him in the post, just how Jokic suggested.

Well, that's been what they've been trying to do.

They've been trying to get Jovic to use his body to be physical.

You hear it on the broadcast.
