Denver Showdown: Which Team Will Master the Mile-High Advantage?
Expect Oklahoma City to continue to try to pull Jokic into space and test his lateral movement in high pick-and-rolls. Adelman will need to find ways to limit the All-Star center’s defensive exposure. But even that won’t be enough without help around the edges.
Denver’s depth is a known concern, and the burden Jokic is carrying – not just to produce, but to orchestrate every possession – has begun to show. He’s still putting up numbers, but it’s the mental toll that stands out. Every possession matters, every mistake feels amplified, and with inconsistent contributions around him, that weight grows heavier.
