Game 81: Portland Trail Blazers @ Denver Nuggets 9:00 PM ET

[NuggetsWY]

Longest winning streak of the year, couldn't have come at a better time !! Confidence shouldn't be a big deal right now.

I love an optimist!

Player of the game was Jokic , because he locked it in the 4th quarter on the defensive end. Too little too late, I don't see Denver beating Minnesota on the road.

Player of the game - Will Barton. Malone just left him out on an island vs. whoever had the ball up top between CJ and Dame. And he played the best defense he’s played all year by a mile.

Yes, might have been his best defense - roughly equivalent to a 400 lb man losing 4 lbs in a year, for the first time in 10 years.

It’s not that bad haha. He played defense when he first got here and he was great last night. I’d say it’s more like a 200 pound man gained 200 pounds over a year and a half, then yesterday, lost 225. Then probably put it all back on today.
