Congrats to Denver. I've been a fan of Coach Mike Malone for a while. That no-nonsense/no-excuse approach is just awesome.
Why did Denver play through Jokic? Didn't they learn from Silas that post play is dead? What were the NBA champs thinking not doing what the coach of the worst team in the league did for the last 3 years?
Old (Rocket) Harden would have bricked those clutch 3 pointers JB made. New, Present Harden would do EXACTLY like he did in his elimination game. He turtled up and kept passing to his teammates even when they bricked shot after shot and didn't even attempt to shoot himself, finishing in single digits! Congrats to Jumbo-Sengun and the Nuggs!
