The Clippers were better on the floor in 2020 when Nikola Jokic and Zuer matched up. That's not how the series played out, unfortunately. He watched a lot of these comebacks that the Nuggets had to get to the conference finals that year. Yeah. Nikola Jokic is an all-time great player and arguably the best player in basketball right now.

He's got a pretty good foil in Zoo, and there's a lot of mutual respect there. Jokic loves Zoo's game. He compliments him all the time. Jokic used to say, a guy like Zoo has to just play in his role, but he... He knows that he's capable of more. And he applauded Zoo because he knows how hard that is.

And I know Nikola knows how hard that is because this dude, Nikola, was splitting starts with Yusuf Nurkic. Right. Okay. So the thing with Zoo is he's a phenomenal defender. Because he's had to be. He's been hooked in playoff series. He's had to be on an island guard of guys like Luka Doncic. He's been drilled by an outstanding coaching staff. And, like, he's ready for this moment.

Zoo had zero fouls at halftime. He ended the game with five. Like, Nikola wins battles. I called Nikola Jokic a dolphin to a friend that I had lunch with in Denver yesterday. While I was here. If you know anything about dolphins, they're incredibly smart and they're jerks. Okay. Like, like Nicole is going to get his licks in, but you got to give it back to him.

And zoo is again, that that's one of the best parts of this series. Like Nicola can do it by himself and dammit, the Clippers would rather him try. They, they don't want the high assist. They don't want Nicola picking the Clippers apart when they try and double or, you know, finding cutters or, They want Nicola to do it all on his own.

I think Nicola is trying to fight that balance of how much do I go against Zoo? How much do I pass it? How much, how aggressive should I be? And, you know, Nicola won that in game one. He absolutely lost it in game two.

I'm not even sure if we're at the stage of – I mean, this was the adjustment game. You know what I mean? When you lose like the Clippers lost in game one, obviously there's adjustments. But Denver had to adjust within game one. Yeah. Russell Westbrook played Michael Porter Jr. 's minutes in game one. And David Adelman doubled down, drilled down and challenged Michael Porter Jr. to be better.
