And that has just not happened at all.
I mean, the injury threw a wrench into his season, but even before that and now after it, he has just not been close to good enough defensively.
And you guys were saying it.
It's not even that he's not good enough defensively.
It's that people don't fear him.
Nobody fears the Christian Brown matchup.
It seems like the best guards in the league sometimes even welcome it.
And on offense, him not being a three-point shooter, him not having confidence in his three is a liability because it just changes how the defense guards the Nuggets with Jokic on the court if he's trying to space the floor in the perimeter.
It's been a really disappointing season.
It's got to start on the defensive end.
It just has to.
Then I think the rest of his game falls in line.
Well, I was wondering, you know, just right off this hamstring injury, being out for so long, did he have just the strength?
Did he have the physicality, the explosion to hurt the thunder inside?
Because no Holmgren, no Hartenstein, they're starting this small lineup.
It was pretty clear once you saw that that Aaron Gordon could feast.

could do that, and the answer was a resounding yes.
I mean, he was an absolute beast in that first quarter.
