SAN ANTONIO – This NBA playoff series doesn’t start until the Nuggets knock San Antonio point guard Derrick White on his keister.
He wants to waltz into the lane for uncontested lay-ups? That’s fine. Slam-dance him to the court with a hard foul, then see if White bounces or splats.
“Our make-up ain’t … grimy,” Denver guard Monte Morris said Friday. He insisted thuggery isn’t in the Nuggets’ nature.
Well, my friend. The way I see it, Denver has two choices:
Get grimy. Or get eliminated from the playoffs, which is no place for polite and courteous Boy Scouts.
