Jameer won at title. A Pro. But he didn’t win without his team playing defense. /

A Pro is a Pro

Listen, a pro is a pro, and the Nuggets better understand this going forward.

Let your man hit a few, and he will eat you up the rest of the night.

Bad news. The Nuggets lost another close one.

They were knocked out of the eight seed.

Good news?

It is not a loss from skill or coaching; it is a loss based on heart and mental preparation; a loss based on lack of focus, determination, and lack of DEFENSE.

This is something a man can change.
