David Adelman

But they just, they can't do them as much because they have to stagger both Murray and Jokic so aggressively.

If you've got DeRozan as your bench table setter, I do think that allows Malo- um, uh, Malone, Michael Malone, uh, who's their coach now? Adelman.

David Adelman.

To, to basically put Murray and Jokic together more often, which means, okay, maybe now they're blitzing these teams a lot more during the game.

Maybe this leads to more blowouts, a little bit more rest in the fourth quarter for Jokic and Murray, and maybe that way they're able to stay healthier.

But if I have to say Jamar DeRozen, Marvin Bagley, and then Julian Strawther, and this is not including Spencer Jones, and then hopefully Lonnie Walker, that team, if they can get that kind of play out of Bagley and out of Julian Strawther where they are clearly your seventh and eighth best players, then that just kinda elevates the ceiling of the team all the way around.

Uh, my next question I had here is, is Adelman on job watch? You know, they did, they obviously went out and hired, uh, you know, another coach as well, because obviously they're, they're wanting to...

How do I say it? They're wanting to really reinstitute that toughness this year, because I think they lost some of that this last year, and obviously that's something that affected everybody.

But they do need someone, I think, that's able to really help them to get some of that, that draw back, and to be able to find ways to salvage runs and games and all that stuff.

And Peyton isn't going to let them know it.

Peyton's got love for everybody in the organization, from Josh Kroenke to David Adelman to Nikola Jokic, all the way down.

He's got love for everybody in Denver, and he's going to be all smiles when the Cavs come next season if he's healthy enough to play.

He's also going to try and rip their throat out.

They are exacerbated by another issue which is...

And, like, Adelman said this after the season, and I understand how people feel about Adelman.

I'm telling you he's absolutely 100% right.

Their problem was finishing possessions.
