Few coaches in the NBA can speak as authoritatively about winning championships as Golden State’s Steve Kerr, who oversaw the Warriors’ dynasty that went to five consecutive finals and won three of them.
The Nuggets (41-19) are weeks away from embarking on their second consecutive postseason run under Nuggets coach Michael Malone. No longer can they use inexperience and lack of familiarity as crutches.
“The hardest part is just the fact that when you get to this stage, you’re looking at four or five other great teams that you have to beat and then it becomes all about matchups, it becomes about experience,” Kerr said at Tuesday’s morning shootaround ahead of Tuesday night’s matchup.
