Faigen (29:50-30:09): “It’s almost Jordanesque in the way that they look for perceived slights, and I think honestly they’ve gotten a lot of them. They heard all the chatter before the Blazers series. ‘Oh, the Lakers don’t want to play this Blazers team. They’re really dangerous.’ And then they went out and stomped them. And then ‘Oh, the Rockets. I don’t know if the Lakers can keep up with them.’ And then went out and stomped them, too.”
Winge (39:43-40:15): “This team has the mental toughness and the fortitude of no other team I’ve ever been around. And I think each guy just has this chip on his shoulder individually and as a member of the Nuggets team. And even head coach Michael Malone takes on that type of mentality as well, so you can see that kind of bleeding into his players and into the franchise. And it’s something that they’ve leaned into, especially when they’ve been on the stage during the playoffs and have gotten more attention than they’re used to. But they’ve been asking for respect for the last couple years.”
KW (57:45-57:48): “This team just never dies. They never quit.”
