Opinion | 'Are we seriously going to dismiss the Nuggets’ 13-3 postseason record because the Bucks, Celtics, Sixers, Grizzlies, Kings and Suns all choked?'
It’s somehow Bruce Brown’s fault that Milwaukee coach Mike Budenholzer pocketed his timeouts for a rainy day that never came?Boston’s Jayson Tatum rolled his ankle in the first 30 seconds of Heat-Celtics Game 7?
“You have to find ways to improve from series to series and round to round to try to advance,” Nuggets coach Michael Malone offered during the lead-up to the series opener vs. Miami. “But every round and every opponent is a completely different problem and challenge. Every team is built differently.”
“So I think our guys, if anything, over 15 playoff games, now being 12-3, their confidence,” Malone continued. “Just well-orchestrated, well put together. They have scoring. They have shooting. They have playmaking. They have smarts. They have length. They have depth. And one thing about their team, when you have a guy like Jokic, who as big as he is but also as cerebral as he is, you can’t really make many mistakes versus a guy like that.”
