“We have the worst defense in the NBA right now”. Those were the words of Nuggets Coach Mike Malone after the 120-113 loss against the Sacramento Kings on Tuesday night.
It can be seen without question, that Coach Malone is frustrated with how the Nuggets are playing defense. They are allowing teams to shoot a high 47% FG and a defensive rating of 111.8. So, does Malone have every right to be mad right now? The answer is yes.
But, does Malone have the right to stay out of the blame? I don’t totally agree with this.
