Miami winning is making us Knicks look a lot better now so I’m happy
LOSER COACH
Malone got outcoached. He needs to stop blaming the players and look in the mirror.
Step back 3’s ain’t going in no more. Quality shot my ass
The coach and team mentality is what will make Miami win the ring
Great coach!
Finally it came to bite you in the azzzzz Miami does that they fight harder and scrap. Denver always be coasting and playing chill and comfortable all playoffs. This is not fixable on a day. I think Miami in 6 because Denver has been coasting all playoffs they will continue to play that way.
This guy shit on his own team more than anyone else
Bruh, you're killin' it with these videos. Keep slayin'! 💪
He’s not saying anything he hasn’t said to his team and the media will say anyways. We all witness the breakdowns and differentials. It’s not him being a bad coach he’s a great coach by just calling it what it is and not defending losing by making any excuses 🤷🏾♂️
Not a great look for Jamal. A deep contested 3 off the dribble is not a great look…Should have called a TO.
I really think Denver came back a little slow from their break. They are the better team, this should wake them up.
Let's go Denver 💪💯❤️🇸🇳
Nuggets fans always making excuse
This is what happens when you keep talking about Lakers 😂
And what about start of fourth quarter because you decide to put Jokic on bench!? Come on Malone…
Malone & Spoestra are top level coaches.
Spo and karl are 2 of the most stand up coaches in the nba
shouldve called a timeout
Where was Jamal Murray? Joker DROPPED 41 POINTS! no one else could put up atleast 27??
Malone knows!
Can't believe Malone is talking about the Nuggets effort and not the Heat's shooting😉😉
It is so easy blaming others… The Heat did a strategy of letting Jokic score but cutting all the pass lines and not allowing the others to play. Coach Malone should have reacted to that strategy and find some solutions. Blaming on the players when you cannot see what is going on and find answers quickly is not right. Spoelstra is a master and you should be humble and learn that this is serious for the next game
Malone was right in one thing: the Nuggets didn't play good in the first game. They were lucky that the Heat didn't score, Butler was missing, not going to the line… But if the Heat starts making buckets, they should be worried. This will not be an easy task at all
Hopefully Mike Malone has given his team a wake-up call and this Denver Nuggets Game 2 loss has humbled this team.
The Nuggets should be already in the Miami Heat arena or a basketball facility in Miami going over drills. No going to clubs or nothing like that. They should be laser focused. The Nuggets Game 3 is their "Do or Die" game in Miami.
altitude couldn't save ya ass this time
I dunno, seems like he could giv the Heat more cred.
Mike Malone have not master the art of leadership on a elite level yet
It's not the team is the coaching staff
And bad referee calling made The Denver Nuggets lose the game
He shuda called a timeout at the end tho
Turnovers and fouls cost them the game. And that bum Porter JR trying to shoot 3’s 🤦🏻♂️
wrong answer coach, wrong mentality after a loss
Why did you keep jamal murray on the bench most of the second half ??? What was that all about
This coach is so honest .
Still got nuggets in 6
Michael Malone had every reason to be pissed off. He had to warned all Nuggets not named Jokic to push & remain forceful offensively & defensively AFTER the half of a game but they entered Game 2 careless & half-hearted & then left Jokic to do mostly everything in quarter 3 & 4. Since MPJ, Gordon & KCP keep praising Jokic but disappear after the half when the Nuggets are leading or disappear like in Game 2 then Denver should consider trading them if they lose these Finals. What's the point of their salaries if they don't take winning a chip seriously from game to game from beginning to end? Miami stole a win because most of the Nuggets weren't physically or mentally present.
But maybe this is the answer to Mike Malone's puzzlement why the Nuggets are dismissed & NOT taken seriously. They take Jokic for granted so they don't give their all. If they lose the Finals Denver should award MPJ, Gordon, KCP with Piña Coladas and trade them.
He seems like a great coach. Very honest.
