“We’re a championship team,” Jamal Murray said after the Nuggets' 134-117 win over the Warriors. “All that stuff, not being happy, has gotta go out the window or else we’re not going to win.'
After Thursday night’s win over Golden State, he was asked whether this iteration of the Nuggets was different, considering that role players such as Vlatko Cancar were willing to sacrifice their individual opportunities for greater team success.
Murray’s answer spoke volumes about the state of the Nuggets, who sit atop the Western Conference at 36-16 following their 134-117 win over the Warriors. “We’re a championship team,” Murray said. “All that stuff, not being happy, has gotta go out the window or else we’re not going to win. It’s nice to have a coach that knows that and knows what we’re trying to accomplish.”
Cancar is a beloved locker-room figure who has consistently given himself to the team. He scored 17 points, two shy of his career-high, while starting in place of Aaron Gordon, who was out with an ankle injury. Coach Michael Malone didn’t know Gordon’s status at shootaround but he pulled Cancar aside and told him how much he believed in him and how much he trusted him. Not knowing if you’ll play can be unsettling, but Cancar has endeared himself to the locker room, the coaching staff, and the front office by doing what is asked. His attitude has never wavered, nor has his work ethic. Neither has ever been contingent upon playing time, which is a testament to his professionalism.
