Miroslav Cuk

jumped on the plane, arrived in Portland in the morning, probably had some nice coffee in one of many hipster coffee places in that city, and then completely destroyed the Blazers, who are not good, but also not bad.

They outrun the Blazers, they outshot the Blazers, they out-defended them.

Joker went from hobbled, slow, and out of touch to battering Ram unstoppable and determined not to play in the fourth quarter.

How did you feel about the game last night?

And what do you think about my back-in-my-day notion about the back-to-backs?

So why did the Nuggets crush the Blazers so hard last night after playing like shit 21 hours before that in L.A.?

And you know what's funny?

I actually think that Joker tried to do something similar in that Clippers game as well.

He was actually shooting a lot in the second half of the first and third quarter of those games.

He just missed all of his shots.

And he actually cost the team in that game.

He wasn't a huge negative in plus minus, but...

Those were like the backbreaker series the Clippers have made with Joker on the court.

I actually thought at one point they should have closed with Jonas because Jonas was having a good game versus the Clippers.

But yeah, it was a weird game.

And I think I saw even somewhere that that was like the first...

his game since 2024 or something where he was actively bad for the team like the team would have won had he didn't play at all there's some sort of metric for it to determine how bad somebody's performance was we don't need no damn metric we got we got our eyes we got our eyes we saw exactly what happened

It is true.

Back to last night's game.

So one guy who had a great game is Julian Strother.
