BOSTON – The transformation is methodical. It’s a nightly tug-of-war. If Nuggets coach Michael Malone were talking about his team, he’d call it a process.
But this is his process.
It’s not about being kinder and gentler. Not entirely, anyway. This is more about being consistent, not getting too high with the highs – which, Malone never had an issue with anyway – and not getting too low with the lows. That’s the sweet spot.
Malone has had a few count-to-10 moments already in the first three weeks of the season. But he has counted to 10.
