Him all the way under cam had to jump down and squeeze him the guy that should have been boxing out is the guy at the three-point line as soon as the ball was released he should have been running in because he should have realized that the Joker has a huge advantage over there

Look at the ball so the only guy that could really box out the shooter is the guy that should have been standing at the three-point line yeah and and and they’re not even in the in the picture right now so I’m not sure where those other two players were but they

Definitely would have the responsibil ility of taking out the shooter the first thing that you want to do is secure the rebound before you run any play right and you know Sam’s right they needed to P the pinch on the Joker because he had you know he had know who

That whoever was boxing him out was basically out of the pitchure yeah watch this watch he drove him all the way on the basket you you in when a when you’re that deep you’re in the dead man you can’t get a rebound you can’t do nothing

But the other two players uh and I’m not sure where they were but their respons responsibility would be to come in and pinch the shooter to make sure that they get the re did you tell other side Spencer D with it was trying to box out Aaron Gord I mean that’s where Brooklyn

Is hurt right now they have no size in a normal NBA game the the head coach would have put in some bigs just to make sure he gets the rebound and then he would have called a timeout to get his offensive players but if you look at Brooklyn they don’t have any

Bigs no side you got Spencer D Woody on the inside trying to box out eron going who 610 yeah come on that was a rough one and Zeke you said in his day when they played the Celtics and they see that they purposely missed the shots

Just so they can get the rebound score there nobody’s there right no you can’t get the rebound they weren’t even in the picture like you said yeah I’m not sure where those other two players were but when you got small people in there trying to block out you know everybody’s

Got to get the basketball you know everybody’s got to pinch in well it was to their detriment cuz at that point point it was a two-point game Miss free throw that gives them the possession with an opportunity to win and that is over but that’s what the Champions do as

As we said right they figure out how to win they know how to win basketball games at the end of the game the last three minutes they know where they’re going to go and by the way when they make a mistake and you make a mistake

They know how to basically you know take advantage take advantage of your mistake yeah yeah uh do you want to take a look at some of those lead fourth quarter baskets what you were just referring to let’s take a look at those the execution is Stellar yeah we talk about you know

They they have what we call knowhow they know how to play together they know where the shots are I mean look at the spacing out on the floor everyone knows where they supposed to be Joker sets the screen and every time you make a mistake they have a

Counter look at that I mean these are these are these are layups and wide open shots that they’re getting I mean there there’s no pressure around them and and you can’t say that Brooklyn isn’t trying to play good defense and they don’t have good energy and intensity but what

Denver has is again they have the discipline they have the concentration they have the floor spread when you make a mistake and you take away a they know that b is the next option if you take away B they know that c is open and if

C’s not open then they got they got the Joker and Murray who can improvise and that’s the key coach right because it’s not just that they have multiple options and you can make your reads in progression it’s that every option is a good option you know what broke that

Game open if you go back with like two minutes or something to go in the game somebody drove and kicked the ball to the corner kcp tavius Carwell Pope he knocked down a three how many times in the last two years have you seen him do that that’s right even don’t even think

About that from the bubble starting in the bubble and then go back and look at the stats now Mel uh Bri Bridges as great as he’s been playing look at his stat line tonight I think I had 14 points who do you think got the assignment to guard him kcp so again

Denver understands how to win basketball games Isaiah Point kcp don’t don’t hunt for shots but every time they need a basket and you load up on Jamal Murray and the Joker they find kcp or Michael Porter Jr and they just standing there doing like this come on and they just we

Saw Brown just drive down the basket and get a dunk in the guts of a game because you got to commit three and a half players to guard those two guys yeah that’s deep all right speaking of yic he stopped and uh talked for an interview let’s

Listen backto back wins on this road trip for you how you guys feeling right now I mean I think we are playing good good lately uh getting to playing better than uh uh then not the beginning that that part that part when we lost a

Couple in a row I think in the last six we we are 5 and one or last seven we were six and one something like that uh we are playing better and that’s that’s what makes me happy and I think the whole team is uh in better energy you’re

A veteran now you you’re trying to get a lot of young players to come in here get experience big games small games how do you talk to these guys to make sure they keep their confidence and be consistent I think I think you cannot talk to them

A lot you just need to give them give them a little bit a little bit like details so they can they can proceed you know I think the it’s still the the game is still too fast for them uh but you know just to help them with a little

This or be here or do do this it’s going to help them a lot you know one of the great players in Denver Nuggets history Dan is who I played for and played against a long long time ago you just took his record for most rebounds in the

Franchise do you think about that yes yes uh it’s great I think it’s just uh another thing I think hopefully when I finish my career I’m going to look back and say that’s nice and by the way his nickname was a horse so that’s even better now real fast you get a little

Blood here what little bit little bit you didn’t shoot a freeo on that did another one hey thanks good job all right wow that looked like he was playing back in the 80s such a nice young man though it such a good dude I mean you can’t help but the pull for him

And all the things because he’s such a pleasant guy in interviews with his teammates and he just talks about the game look I put up all these stats but I just want to win I don’t care about all that stuff and he means it too as we

Take a look at his shot chart 12 for7 team from the field that is beyond efficient I mean it’s just it’s not that he’s skilled it’s that he’s proficient yeah with his skill set and unselfish I mean the the shot selection of the team right they don’t

They don’t take a lot of bad shots they don’t do a lot of crazy things I mean they are they are so disciplined and it’s like a well ored Machine and and and a couple years ago right we were complaining about joic only taking eight shots sometimes only taking six shots

But the team was winning yeah and I’m I’m I’m watching Scott Hastings interview him and I remember Scott Hastings calling me up and saying hey this guy is you know just as good a passer as Magic Johnson and is just as smart out on the floor with Magic

Johnson and Magic Johnson would play a basketball game and you would think you got magic under control cuz you look up at the scoreboard and you’re like only got 10 points you know he’s only taking five shots right and you get back and you look at the stat shoot it’s like 10

Points 15 rebounds 22 assists and you’re like man magic had his fo his handprints all over the game and that’s the Joker like you know his shot selection whatever you need on that night he’s able to give it to you coach’s dream oh man Mike Malone is like

I know Mike Malone go to bed and do this every night pinching his I can’t believe I got the and Jamal Murray Jamal M seriously come on and they both healthy now yeah it’s a scary Prospect for the rest of the league all right we’re going to send you guys on a
