Nikola Jokic Praises Kevin Durant & Wants Nuggets Healthy for Playoffs

General thoughts on what you think with the difference tonight um they they’re well-built team they’re really offensive talented they have a lot of threats and uh they are I think learn how to play with each other and they were and they shot the Bell they shot the ball really well I mean that

That’s what they do uh we didn’t uh we didn’t we couldn’t make shot even when we provide a good one or open look we couldn’t made it um I think that was the biggest uh and they had a lot of offensive rebounds I think no not that much 12 I me yeah yes

Yes and no is it just one of those nights you guys shoot 10 of 40 from three just one of those nights where just nothing’s really going down or was it anything that they were doing um I mean yes they were they’re they’re like I said I think

They’re they know they know what they do during on defensive and too um are we are this bad shooter shooting team or or not I mean I’m I don’t know but uh hopefully we can make couple more uh that’s going to help us just because we scor 97

Points I think that’s below our average uh I mean that’s it that’s about it do you believe that when threes aren’t falling that teams just teams in general you guys in specifically should cut more trying to get more attacks of the rim or is it just stay with the

Process the shots will fall how do you I mean if if if we cannot make shot and the other team is definitely going to Sag off us and don’t let them get to the pain don’t let us get to the pain uh so we can try that but I think if you’re if

We are open we got to shoot it was there anything with the threes that they were generating on the other end um just pretty much the same thing like they had open looks too they especially from like pick and roll when they hit the r when they were know

When they sliding the not sliding the like EXT ing the rotation and they are really good at that and then of course when especially when the that player is KD or book or or or bill um it’s you know even if you if you get to that rotation probably in the

Corner is Grayson Allen who is probably shooting the best uh three-point percentage in his life so you know it’s a it’s a really talented team and uh they’re they’re definitely threat to every any any team on the west M Porter just said the most important thing for you guys in the

Final nine games of the regular season is to stay healthy do you agree with that that is just like yeah of course I mean if somebody is out I think we need we need everybody healthy and we everybody to to be 100% Cole when you look at the game that

Durant had what what were you guys what was he able to do or what you guys just uh I mean he he was he did what he’s doing last 10 how many years I don’t even know 15 years you know he’s that he’s a great great uh scorer great

Shooter even uh on defensive end he had a couple couple blocks that um kind of disturb our our offense too U I think we kind of did a little bit of good good job I think he had a couple of turnovers too but um you know I think he was getting the shots

That kind of he wants you know the shots that he can make of course he’s he’s a great player you know maybe we could do something different maybe not but they they are a really good team they have so many threats on on the floor so I mean

You got to kind of pick and truth but I don’t know it’s the he’s he was he had a really good game how familiar are you with with dreanks I don’t know how often you guys have played each other can you repeat uh how often how familiar

Are you with Drew eub Banks’s game and playing you I mean he he’s he’s a uh he’s he he’s a great great uh everything what he’s doing he’s doing 100% uh he running the floor setting screen rolling going to offensive rebound uh he can finish really well I think he

Just because how aggressive he’s going is going to the to the to the to the basket and uh he he accepted the role that they’re giving him and when you’re playing with those kind of players I think that’s a good thing to to do good thank you guys call
