Their 2nd & 3rd best players had games rooted in their great athleticism. Skilled players, but what made them great was their explosiveness.
Now, they've got a lot of miles on their tires & have fewer high impact minutes than they used to.
So, teams don't fear them, and play tighter man to man. They get fewer open shots, unless Jokic comes to the rescue with a nifty pass.
Everyone on that team has a falling shooting % except for the big man.
I don't know if there's a way to fix it.
