I'm skeptical the offense can hold up. Jokic is all time, MPJ has been great, but I'd bet on regression from him in the postseason. Not much else beyond the two of them, it's gonna take a Herculean effort from Jokic.
Not sure what you mean by regression from MPJ, he’s been an elite shooter his whole life. He will probably settle in with 43-45% on high volume. They should be a lot better offensively with monte back and hopefully Will later in round 1 or round 2 if they get there.
They were without Millsap, Gordon, Murray, Morris, dozier, and Barton. Decent showing given all that on a b2b they weren’t really needing to win (hence the scratches). They’ll get Dallas for round 1 and I like them if only barely. Round 2 vs Utah is probably a 30/70 for them, so better than last year
