The most noticeable thing about the Nuggets’ defense, as Malone attests, is the effort. It’s been off the charts. Deflections, closeouts, communication and rotations. First unit, second unit, doesn’t matter. And offense hasn’t come close to its potential. denverpost.com/2018/10/22/nug…
From last night - At training camp Paul Millsap said he had goals of being a top-five defense. Through three games, Denver has been just that. “It’s not just talk,” Millsap said. “We’re not blowing smoke.” - bsndenver.com/the-nuggets-ha… pic.twitter.com/mPVMg5n282
I don’t know if this level of Nuggets defense is sustainable, but the effort should be. Malone said the difference from last year’s team is this version is giving multiple efforts rather than just a single effort. That’s Harris, Craig, Millsap and even Joker.
How on earth is Jason Garrett still the head coach of the Dallas Cowboys 🤦🏻♂️

Perhaps the most amazing stat from last night: The #Nuggets last field goal was at 2:54 in the 4th. From that time, they went 0/4 FG, 3/9 FTs and had 2 turnovers.
And they still won.
Success is going from failure to failure without losing enthusiasm
Be great today!!!
