The narrative was about the Lakers and their adjustments. What he’s doing is just incredible, but the narrative wasn’t about the Nuggets. He’s got 13 triple-doubles now, third all-time. “Let’s be honest, that’s what the national narrative was: ‘Hey, the Lakers are fine, they’re down 1-0, but they figured something out.’ No one talked about Nikola just had a historic performance. “I think a lot of our guys, to be honest, they may not admit this or not, but you win Game 1 of the playoffs and all everybody talked about was the Lakers,” Malone said. When asked after Thursday’s Game 2 win over the Lakers if the Nuggets have “a chip on their shoulder,” Malone told reporters that he hopes so. NBA coaches and players always talk about tuning out noise, but Nuggets coach Michael Malone is instead using criticism of his team as fuel for spicy playoff press conferences as his team leads the Western Conference finals 2-0.
