Coach Brought the Team, the Team Brought their Game

Coach Malone has nothing to be ashamed of. He brought his team with the right preparation and his team brought their game.

He was on the court with the knowledge on how to play the runner up champions.  There would be no more 24 point blowouts; not tonight. The team wanted to play hard and have fun.

Denver was thrown a slight learning curve to a team with the current best winning experience in basketball.

While we didn’t hit it out of the park, we took a good swing, and got to third base. This is nothing to be ashamed of.

A big difference was the exceptional screens Golden State sets and their constant movement without the ball. Learn Nuggets; you can do this. It is not a talent, it is a learned skill.

Constantly set good screens, go close around the screens, and move without the ball.

That is beautiful basketball.
