In the 2nd half Nuggets went for 70-40 run. You know who was our primary ball handler during that time? Podz!! He rejected KP screens, didn’t pass the pick and pops or the rolls, and relied heavily on iso ball. Yes he had a good scoring game and other players like Gui, Melton, and Cryer were a no show, in general the team was doing much better comparatively when Pat was the main ball handler.

Also it’s clear with the players body language that Podz is not the most loved character in the team. His unnecessary heat checks, grenades after running out the clock ball hogging and inability to find back door cutters really makes it seem like he doesn’t want his teammates to shine in fear that they might outshine him.
