“I hope it’s different. “We lost (last time). We were on the bubble against the Lakers, does that make any sense (from how unusual that experience was)? We got hurt against Golden State (last year). It’s not the finals, but I’m just talking about the teams we lost to. So we have a good opportunity to do something,” he said during a press conference.

The trauma against the Lakers and Warriors is huge. In front of Los Angeles rivals, in the NBA bubble, in 2020, Jokic saw his team run over by LeBron James and lose the title.
