I think the Nuggets team can't afford to lose again specially a team like Detroit. So Jokic really did any amazing job to prevent a 4 game losing skid. Although they might be safe in the top, but still though, losses doesn't look good for a team like team.
Too bad for Banchero, I still think he needs to really developed himself in this clutch time. I remember one game wherein he could have said the win for them. He drive and he was really open but I don't know how he missed that shot.
Correct. Wins build confidence and they may want stability on that part, especially for their bench players. Jokic can start resting but the bench should not stop playing like they badly need those wins although they are safe for a playoff spot now.
About Paolo Banchero, he is still a rookie so let's give him time to make those types of shots. They are the future of the NBA so I don't doubt he can make it happen someday.
Curry and Klay And Draymond will have to do a lot now since their bench is not that deep anymore.
And Draymond Green needs to start being careful about what will come out of his mouth or even his actions against the officials. He will be suspended for one game and then just 2 technicals for another suspension. That will keep on going which will not be good if they are aiming for a safe spot in the playoffs.
He needs to behave after the suspension is lifted and I bet Steve Kerr will start reminding him about that. This is a crucial time for them, they don't need foolish actions that will jeopardize their chance for one more championship.
