“Effectively, yeah, I imply like Russell Westbrook, he’s vocal — however we’d like greater than Russell Westbrook,” Malone replied. “I need Nikola Jokic, Jamal Murray, I need guys that have been here in that starting lineup to be vocal. And you know tonight we got embarrassed. “We’re 16 video games in and we’re speaking about effort, we’re speaking about toughness, we’re speaking about physicality. … And no matter who’s in, who’s out, who can we need to be as a crew? So, yeah, management can be nice, toughness can be nice, physicality can be nice, taking part in such as you truly care can be nice, and we didn’t do this tonight.” -via ESPN / November 26, 2024
