Yea exactly. AD’s help is so much more valuable but he can’t do both. Your team really needs to be built right to counter what Denver does. Denver plays such beautiful ball and TBH I don’t think anyone has really responded to it defensively. They’re just loaded up on O. TBH man had LAL just signed Dwight for their run it might have helped a ton. Maybe they still lose but not a sweep. You just can’t get in Joker’s head at all. He has no ego and will make the right play.

I don’t think it’s really about players. AD was good at it but the team wasn’t equipped to focus him on Joker and stop everyone else. While individuals may or may not be better it’s superseded by the team’s ability to defend him. The real weapon isn’t Joker. It’s that Joker/Jamal two man game they’ve built the nuggets around. And TBH I don’t know if anyone really defneds it at all.
