A 4-0 sweep in the Western Conference finals was a big moment for the Nuggets; However, it has generated a “problem” in the team, since they must now spend a week and a half without competition before the NBA finals against the Miami Heat or the Boston Celtics (now Florida wins 3-2).
That alone worries Michael Malone. The Denver head coach does not hide the fact that he removed the Angelenos on May 22 and began the fight for a ring until June 1 is a question that is constantly on his mind.
“It’s impossible to save if he doesn’t play. You can do what you want in practice, but there’s no way you can replicate an NBA playoff game. My biggest concern is the pace, but the most important thing is the situation. Every day you play for so long, and suddenly it’s eight, nine, 10 you have a day off…” the media said.
As for the preparation for the finals, what they are already doing obviously, Jamal Murray explains at the moment about preparing the team on a mental level, when they are good physically.

“As far as training goes, it’s all about the individual.” Knowing that we must go to the details, not to make losses… Simple things that we can never neglect. This day is all about gaining mental awareness. We know that our bodies will be fine from June 1, so we just have to make sure that our minds stay sharp and focused these days,” he said.
