That's an award that can be about stats, but with Hardaway, he said his impact on keeping the season alive, this guy has been a reason why we won close games and even stayed in the race to begin with.

He's done it consistently all season long.

On defense, he said, look, most of our issues are usually when whoever is on the ball gets beat.

And because we've had some injuries and we're small behind the ball, sometimes it's like you're going from a guard to another guard.

And then there's Jokic, but he is a traditional center.

And so when we get put into rotation, we don't want Jokic in rotation.

He says, it can't just be do everything right.

And then with eight seconds left on the clock, you get beat.

That's been our problem.

I really believe that.

On the statement week where the Nuggets played well but didn't win all those games, Adleman said, I thought that week was kind of a restarting point for us.

There was some anxiety in the locker room, as in we knew what was coming.

We knew who we were about to play against.

But you leave that week feeling like, okay, we're right where we're supposed to be.

We're right there with those great teams.

Now let's go join them and win some games.

And he feels like that's what they've been able to do here.

down the stretch.
