Denver Nuggets coach Mike Malone revealed the goals for this year’s NBA playoffs at Media Day.
He believes that it is very important that they improve the defense, which was problematic last season. Denver was 15th on the list when it came to the best defense.
- Our goal is to be among the top five defensive teams this year – Malone said.
He also talked about Jamaal Murray and Mike Porter Jr., who missed much of last season. He mentioned that they are fine, but that they should be smart when they return to the competitive rhythm.
Also, Nikola Jokic and Vlatko Cancar will be spared from hard work in the camp, because of the Eurobasket, where they played in September.
Denver was eliminated in the first round of the playoffs last season by Golden State, the eventual champion.
