I’m not making any excuses here, but Denver as a collective group played extremely poor last night. The live ball turnovers cannot happen against this Minnesota group. Period.
It happens. The Nuggets played under a great deal of emotional duress after the two home losses, then used a great deal of energy to win three straight under the scrutiny of Perk and Steven A.
Sigh.
My breathing coach at the Wellness Center, 76 year-old Earl asked,” MJ, where’s the Jamal jersey today…you throwing in the towel?’
I gave Earl a dismissive glare and responded, ” No, Earl….cancer survivors don’t ever throw in the towel. When you first saw me a year ago…I was a 36.5 road underdog to make it to Halloween. Now look at me….I could be starting for Coach Venables as the Cheetah-back.”
Nothing changes for me. The Nuggets just need to rest today. Have a light walk through tomorrow and just basically eliminate the bad turnovers which have plagued them in their three losses in this series. Especially the live ball turnovers.
Let’s not overthink things here here at the internationally acclaimed okcthunderground.com. Denver has Nicola at home.
Just bear down mentally and BE THE BALL. Shut out all the outside noise and be the ball. This is not complex. I’m seriously disappointed with Earl. I may have to replace him with Dorthy on Monday.
Eternal love, MJ.
