Miroslav Cuk

And to my personal surprise, he's been doing a lot of 2023 Christian Brown things lately.

He's been cutting hard, finishing well around the rim, rebounding hard, and even making some defensive plays.

On top of it, he is confident shooting the ball.

Do you think we've seen enough to consider him a rotation piece even when everybody's back?

I was wondering, I heard that comment.

This was probably from Brendan Wood, who is always in the arena.

And

I was thinking about that shoot it when he got the ball.

Does that mean I believe in your shot or I don't believe in your dribbling the ball?

Well, it could be both.

Yeah, it was a sight to behold, and I couldn't be happier to be wrong about somebody.

I'm always happy when I'm wrong about a nugget not being good.

That's just a perfect way to be wrong about it.

Okay, let's take a short break, and then we'll continue dissecting the game we just saw, so don't go anywhere.

apparently i'm using the computer for the first time in my life so i have no idea how i'm doing this okay so

I have to ask you about one detail that made me frown several times, even during a 54-point win.

This is just the way I am.

I'm an old person, so what are you going to do?

Our guys at the DNVR postgame show mentioned last night that even though Christian didn't have a lot of points, just 11, it was impressive that he also had seven assists.

I felt watching game live on my TV that most of those assists happened after Joker would give him the ball to do something with it on the run, but he declined so many times and just returned the ball to guys who just made a lot of shots.
