Nikola Jokic Doesn’t Plan to go on any more Podcast after Curious Mike

Your coach and a couple and your teammate Jamal have mentioned energy a couple of times already um more like it’s something that you guys can control and just didn’t bring it tonight do you agree with that I mean of course we lost by 40 so everything was bad not just I mean of

Course they play really well that’s a good that’s a good team they’re they’re playing I’m going to say unique side of basketball and uh I’m not going to say they surprise us because I knew it I knew it they’re going to be good this year uh but U I think we just didn’t

Respond well they play a really aggressive style of Defense with how often they’re trapping how often they’re attacking you uh just what kind of problems does that present when they’re always doubling when you’re when you’re dribbling your motion uh but yeah I mean they are playing aggressive defensive often they’re playing

Really energ energetic in defense they uh they they’re using their hands in on on the gaps in the passing Lanes they are they they coached really well so you know it was just one of those nights when when uh nothing didn’t work well for us of course the reason is them

But uh we can we can control some some something too when they are crowding you like that and you’re kicking out to Shooters and and guys just aren’t making shots what’s the next step what what do you guys go to after that or do you just

Keep feeding in I mean if we it’s open look so we going to take those those shots any any time so we we believe in that and that’s our system coach said last game that he he he sees Oklahoma City is there’s a lot of you guys in them do you agree with

That like are they kind of like you guys early on can you repeat that question yeah sorry I asked that but uh coach last game said that he saw a lot of you guys in Oklahoma City uh just in terms of like when you guys are really young you guys

Were kind of similar to them do do you see that maybe maybe with the Poise that what they play Maybe with the the the will of how they want to prove themselves but I think we didn’t have we don’t have the same place let like them Shay has obviously been like he’s

Grown in the league this is now I think his sixth or seventh year just how difficult is it guarding a guy like that where he gets to his spots in the manner that he does on the on the offens yeah I mean yes he’s a special player he’s he’s

Uh not just this year I think he’s doing this last last year last year maybe last two years he’s uh putting a lot of good numbers he’s a problem in this league um uh and the the good thing about him uh he wants to win you know he’s not he

Doesn’t care about uh numbers he wants to win and I think that’s the best thing about him great opportunity for pton tonight to get to start again against a playoff team just curious if anything about his game to you stood out tonight they’re not a playoff team last

Year oh I mean this year playoff team but he started with you guys tonight good opportunity uhuh okay against a good team I’m just curious if anything stood out uh I mean he was good out there you know aggressive um he had a good energy uh we just needed to help

Him a little bit more on the defensive end you know I think uh the way how they play we can we can be uh we need to be as a five five men in defense we cannot let anybody play one-on-one uh especially not against a guy not the guy

Especially not against the guy like Shay who is who is probably one of the best one more players in in the league right now you guys have played a ton of backto backs already played a lot of games so far do do you get a sense that the team

Is a little bit fatigued a little bit tired at this point I mean seems like we play a lot more games than everybody else but uh I don’t know I mean some guys some guys didn’t play some guys did so you know it’s a it’s a part of the part of

The season part of the game part of the job so you know our job is to play games so yes maybe it’s maybe it’s a little bit uh we had a lot of backto backs a lot of um five games seven nights so but it is what it is we we

Don’t we now I I’m think about it but we don’t think about it in in our group or whatever meetings we don’t think about that I think a lot of people enjoyed hearing you on Mike’s podcast are there more podcasts in your future I don’t think so good thank thank you guys
