Is this Denver team ready for championship fight, or are they chicken Nuggets? via markkiszla
The Nuggets don’t have another NBA season of center Nikola Jokic’s MVP prime to waste. It’s Finals or bust for Denver players who like to talk about it, but can’t seem to grasp the simple notion there’s zero room for excuses in a serious pursuit of the Larry O’Brien Trophy.
You can hear the tension growing in the voice of Michael Malone, who sounds like a coach feeling the pressure of championship expectations. Malone blasted his team after a dismal loss to lowly Houston that only encouraged doubters who’ve labeled the Nuggets a paper tiger in danger of a first-round flameout during the opening of the NBA playoffs.
The Nuggets have lost their mojo at the worst possible time, with the playoffs looming. Since thumping Memphis 113-97 on March 3 to take firm control as the top seed in the West, Denver has played uninspired basketball, with a 7-8 record during the past six weeks.
