Six was improving to 13 to know at home this season.

So Joel Embiid He led the 16 22 nickel.

Yokich dropped 15 for the Nuggets.

But even though these guys were in the box score, both have seen their scoring decline this season.

Scotty, who are you more confident is going to rebound this year?

Joel or yoga?

I think ilk.

It's, I think, that the office will have to run through them for the for the Nuggets to be successful.

So his his opportunities, they're gonna come.

He's gonna get his average up.

And as a season coming, I think his energy and his conditioning would get better, but not to not be there.

They're both excellent players, but I think focus for Denver to be successful.

Everything has to go through it.

One of the reasons and these numbers are down is his minutes or down.

Yes, they are specifically reducing his load so that he doesn't run out of gas at the end of the season.

So I think if they added more minutes the stats would get back up.

I wouldn't focus on those averages, you know, the Nuggets.

If I told Mike Malone two months ago they were gonna have the number two defense in the league, he had been like, we're gonna be 20 and three.

They've got the number 22 offense and that is really related to their struggles with their most important offensive player, which is Yokich.

And frankly, I keep talking about this.

He looked terrible in China, and I know that you don't evaluate how a guy looks in August and say, That's who he is terrible in China, he has not looked like himself here.

He's just been off.

And until he comes back on, I don't know if the Nuggets either.

They're coming off losing five out of six.

They just went on a 1 to 3 road trip.

If he doesn't come back, it has to be him because he doesn't come back.

They're not gonna be the team that they thought they were gonna be this year.

I feel like the Sixers still have more to figure out.

I'm still looking for spacing with that team.

I'm still wondering if you're gonna try to pick up a shooter.

Why are you taking my joy?

Joy?

There's Onley this most joy.

It's not a lot of joy.

And you're just trying t o yes, whether they're gonna pick up someone like him, whether they can do that at the deadline.

And so I just feel like I haven't seen yet what the Sixers they're supposed to be Now.

You would say, with all of the tweaks and changes they've made over the last year and 1/2 they should be where they're supposed to be already.

They shouldn't still be a work in progress, but I think they are.

So therefore, I'm just not ready to say this is what Joe and the season is like until I see kind of where everything else is gonna shuffle out with them.

I'm worried about Yokich and how lethargic he's looked, but we do know what the Nuggets are supposed to be.

So if he picks it back up Scotty, to your point, maybe he just goes off to the races with that signed out.
