It took me a minute to find the word.
Just dig a little bit or stunt and then get back to my guy.
Yeah.
And I think that's sort of the way they're doing it.
It's not just two guys defending the pick and roll.
It's really kind of the whole team.
And then to your point, too, Jokic is popping a lot.
And he's I mean, his three ball has been gone.
Like, I don't know where like it's it's definitely, you know, missing on a milk carton somewhere.
He hasn't had that thing since post All-Star break.
And it's really a thing where they will happily live with him settling for that.
than him rolling to the rim.
And then even the times when he did get it, late in that game, the play you were talking about where Christian Brown got fouled and missed the free throws, it was off Jokic in a pick and roll, having possibly a floater.
Ant pulled all the way in and had Jokic kind of indecisively deciding, no, no floater, and then I'm going to throw it to Brown there on the baseline.
And I think that was just an encapsulation of this is how they're defending it.
It's basically all alert by the Wolves.
We're going to pull in completely on that.
Yeah, and I think, you know, talking about just Ant's knee, there was one possession, I think it was early in the first quarter, where he actually even grabbed at it.
you know, like bringing the ball up to court, passed it and then stopped for a second.
And then that's where I was just like, wow, we're in trouble.
