To be a championship team, the Nuggets have to guarantee their own commitment anyway. “It’s something that has to be there every day,” Plumlee said of competing for a championship next season. “You don’t just show up in the playoffs and make it happen. You get familiar with each other and play for each other. You’re willing to sacrifice not just come playoffs, but early in the season. If you can help another guy on the court in a practice, all those little things add up.”
