In the post-game presser after the loss to the Portland Trail Blazers, Denver Nuggets Head Coach Michael Malone had some harsh criticism for his players. Royce Young of ESPN details what Malone had to say.
“Our starters were awful,” he said. “I thought we had some guys that were tentative, that looked a little scared, who played soft ... we’re going to have to be a lot better going home.”
Malone didn’t stop there.
“The urgency has to be there. Maybe this will be a wake-up call for our starting group just to play harder,” Malone said.
