Thanks, Joe Mazzulla.
That’s all my internal monologue could muster as I sprinted back in transition again, legs on autopilot by now, after our fourth — fifth? — consecutive live-ball turnover. If I were lucky, Aziz Leeks would try a highlight dunk too ambitious this time. Maybe I would fetch a long rebound on a botched windmill.
I was not lucky. The Nuggets’ support staff was not bored yet. We had not reached that stage of the proceedings.
Thanks, Joe Mazzulla.
His idea was equal parts earnest and diabolical. Coaching staff vs. Media.
