Malone has an attitude problem and wasn't a team player with management. He wanted to be more than just a coach.
Westbrook has ruined every team he has played for. 🤣
Surely if both of them were at loggerheads, you would get rid of one and replace them with a better fit?
Anyone who has watched the Nuggets this year, especially recently saw this coming. Malone lost the locker room and they have shown zero improvement this season from game 1. They needed a shakeup.
Malone defend Murray and MPJ and lost his job 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Honestly Jokic does feel like he is being wasted as the team is currently constructed right now. They got a Championship out of it 2 years ago but there is such drastic inconsistency around Jokic. I can understand the brass being worried this is a 1 and dome team this year. The Nuggets need to start swinging bigger.
This has been a weird season.
Look, I don't know the back story of this firing, and I'm not pinning the blame on Russ. Although I can't see his delusional personality meshing well with Malone's brutal honesty. But 10 years ago I told my young son, who was a huge Westbrook fan, that he would never win a championship for a variety of reasons. He was very upset and told me I was wrong. But there is one sure bet in regards to Westbrook – any team he's on will not fulfill its potential.
The league needs LeBron to win another ring before he retires. Grizzlies and Nuggets are threats. Lol.
Man, the NBA proper sucks. Makes it hard to watch with decisions like this….
I don’t understand the upside of this. Like if they don’t like Malone there’s really no point to doing this now. Wait til they get bounced and if you win then deal.
Should’ve just fired the general manager
This opens the door for Joker to join Luka in LA.
Jokic leaving
Why sack coach Malone ? The timing is self destruction
Memphis better call Malone ASAP
You obviously don't follow the team. This is the worst stretch they've had in years.
NHL teams almost never, ever fire a coach let alone a GM who are recent champs and making the playoffs. Baffling move!
if you are shocked about Malone and Booth firings
you haven't been watching the Nuggets this season
The nba is making sure the lakers win that title.
NBA rigging a Lakers championship. Calling it now.
They do it so Anthony Edwards can win
They = the league
Malone was an awful coach. Boothe was wasting Jokic's career. Nuggets had the guts to do this. I applaud. Nuggets are regressing since the chip. They won that chip despite Malone.
Nuggets ownership did not do this without a chat with Jokic. I ain't saying Jokic wanted this, but I do believe he's ok with it…
Booth was so trash he took Malone down with him. Absolutely insane
Glad they fired him, he has no class 🤣🤣.
Wth?
Billionaire owners ruing this season
I love this. The NBA is learning how to get ratings back up.. It is also about getting Lebron James and the Los Angeles Lakers a championship that helps ratings.. They need Los Angeles Lakers and the Boston Celtics in the championship this year.
I wonder how much the Westbrook loss the the Pacers played into this?
So Denver not winning a chip this year lol ownership gave up. I’ve heard most owners don’t want to win. Bucks , Memphis and Denver NOT trying to win. Money don’t make you smart it just means you got lucky with an idea cause this is dumb. It’s more than just they didn’t get along, that’s being going on since Magic. Stop it
Thats crazy… They got a winning culture because of him… 🤷🏿♂️💯
Amateurs
The Denver Nuggets just turned into the Denver pebbles for firing Mike Malone SMH
Incoming Jokic to the Lakers!
Dodge and Elon saves money for Denver 😂
This is akin to the Bucks firing Budenholzer. What have you done for me lately?
insane
So firing him right before the playoffs sends what message? There's no time to get used to a new head coach's voice and vision as the HC and not an assistant. So I guess this year is just being sailed down the river?
