Nikola Jokić Post Game Press Conference vs. Grizzles 🎙 | 12/28/23

You speak about pton Watson starting and how he’s playing and and he was say he learns a lot from you watching you and watch how just speak to yes I mean uh of course uh they they in offensive on offensive they didn’t uh I’m going to say didn’t respect him

As much you know uh but that’s fine we we respect him and we know that we know what he’s capable of doing and whenever he was open everybody in the team told him to shoot the ball um in our system open guys wins so whenever he was open

He he shot it and he shot as well you know 40% that’s that’s Prett good but not just that I think he was really aggressive he was plus 28 while while he was on on the floor so um he was he was really good today style how

Of I mean they are not similar players of course but uh I think um they actually completely OPP different players but uh I think he can he can learn from him just um about the spacing where to be uh what to do uh through the slip Screen

Through the set screen you know just being dunker you know he can just learn from him in in spacing wise but uh I think he he should not build his game around arrows game the way that you and Jamal sort of controled the the pick and roll T it reminded me a lot

Built is these pockets of time like within the regular season can you remember back to that moment uh but I think we have chemistry all the all the time you know sometimes we we don’t make shots or sometimes we just uh don’t make the right play but I

Think the chemistry is always there and uh we want to make a good play or we want to make we want to make a right play um I think that’s the most important you know missing shots making shots it’s part of the game but just building the good habits and building

The the good system I think that’s what the most important uh thing answer to your questions yes sometimes uh we feel like uh it’s a black back in the playoffs but to be honest that’s how it should be right was just saying that he ever since he’s gotten here he’s watched everything

You’ve done how do you balance I guess giving him advice in spots or just watch uh I don’t I don’t like to talk a lot but uh I think when I say something I really think I I made a good comment or whatever I think the com is going to

Help him uh you know I’m not trying to be a oh follow me do this do this you know I’m I’m just doing something that last five six years and um seems like it’s working for me and he should not like I said like like um he doesn’t need to build his game

Around Arrow’s game and he doesn’t need to build whatever around me he needs to figure out his own his own um play style or or whatever it is you know so but he can he can learn he can learn from bunch of the guys on our team like I I learned

From a lot of guys that I play when I was first first two years you haven’t had a lot of perfect shooting nights but you got a couple there anything special to you about that or I know I mean it’s a it’s a miss and made game of course

Sometimes you miss sometimes you make today I made made made all of my shots uh you know and enjoying these moments it’s not gonna be a lot of those nights how much did you guys when said it is yes it is he almost lost us after 6 hours

So uh I thought we’re going to lose him but he was good he was good how how is he as an actor Uh not bad I I think I think that’s his first probably commercial whatever so he did a good job Memphis is a thir top 10 defensive team I know that they didn’t have jaw tonight but they’re a really good defense score as many points as you

Did can you feel the team like reading each other really well right now what is exactly working or is it just one of I mean of course they have a couple really good Defenders and then uh they have a couple guys that uh can fit in their

System really well you know when you have a guy like Marcus Mar or or J Jackson Who Is He was the last year def Defensive Player of the Year you know they’re bringing something and the other guys just needs to fill in and do the their role on defense and I mean that’s

Why they’re probably top 10 in defense efficiency thank you guys pleasure like always
