NEW YORK – When Nuggets coach Michael Malone picked up assistant Ryan Bowen en route to the airport ahead of Denver’s daunting 7-game, 13-day road trip, he had one question for him: “I go, ‘Bro, where you going? We can do laundry on the road.’”
Bowen had five bags with him, evidently unfazed by dragging his bags from Miami to Orlando, up to New York and Chicago before heading back down to New Orleans and San Antonio. In 13 days.
When Malone was asked about the “borderline ridiculous” nature of this trip, he quickly interjected.
“Take borderline out,” he said.
