Jokić outduels Curry to beat the Warriors | Bucks; Thunder lead NBA Cup Knockout Round

Like, they got, I'm going to make my one move, I can do two dribbles, and I'm going to hope for the best. Like, nah, you need somebody to left, right, spin. And, you know, like, Jokic can do it. Like, they need players like that. They got one guy. And the other option might be Pajemski, but... Yeah.

Because that's an issue too, right? That isn't it. To me, the issue is offense. It's not defense. That's the problem. Jokic is going to get a bucket, and Jokic is getting the bucket. It doesn't matter who you put out there. There's not another guy you can just go get that's going to stop Jokic from getting the bucket. The question is, can you respond? And that's what they don't have.

If they drop 120 tonight, they win. I mean, Buddy Hill is wide open, butt naked for a three. Doesn't hit it. Like, Steph draws two, jumps it off to Kaminga. That has to be a dunk. You can't get blocked by Jamal Murray. Like, that's what they needed. So, in the end, you just got to see Jokic. Like, it's going to happen. And I actually agree with their philosophy completely.

Vooch is going to destroy their defense. Period. That's going to happen. I'll take my chances with Loon and Draymond and being able to go on the other end and kind of operate. To me, I'm not against the Vooch. I like the Bulls. We've watched Vooch in the playoffs. This is Matadorian, right? He's going to be picked on. Picked on, for sure. No question.

I don't know what's going on. Had two wide open threes. He may one miss the second. Like that's, that's how it goes. I do think everything is exaggerated in their situation. For instance, Steph, You know, he drove three times, got three good, got a couple good shots out of it, got the dumping kick. But then he goes for the step back three, right?
