Denver Nuggets head coach Michael Malone had an interview with Altitude Sports 950 AM today. He covered a few topics in his 16 minutes: how he’s not really up for watching the playoffs at the moment (but is recording them for later), how Jokic really needed some time off after nearly 2 years of going through the whole 12 months with no summer breaks, and how Jamal Murray is a warrior.
He’s still complaining about Denver’s defense (aren’t we all) but if Jokic comes back in better shape and the Nuggets add a defensive FA and draft piece, those things might be mitigated next year.
