The ownership is a disgrace Kroenke owns Nuggets,Arsenal,Rams and Rockies maybe,he is making same mistakes the Bulls and White sox owner made. No respect for fans,coaches
Fire now because if that talented possibility becomes a reality, it is harder to move on. How do you fire a coach who just won a championship even if the locker room needs it to improve team dynamics?
this has to have diddy involved there is no way
Weird how a coach in a successful season get fired and worse that it’s a few games before the playoffs.
When I heard how childish Malone bahaved, both Booth and him…
I love Candace but she’s trying to justify something that was unjustified. Jokic is probably out the door, they don’t deserve talent like Malone and jok
Coach Malone is an upper tier coach and I don’t believe his players wanted him gone as some reports have suggested. What killed them was they never adequately replaced KCP and Brown. GM is the failure not Coach.
Who would have guessed overpaid players with no responsibility or consequence but with all the power would have ruined the NBA. lol. Hurt an overpaid entitled lazy bums feelings and nothing else matter anymore. So sick of all of this and it's everywhere.
This is by far the most unbelievable move of the season. Why would a team fire a coach who they went to the finals and WON with? I don't want to be harsh, but the Nuggets franchise doesn't deserve to win if they do this just shy of the playoffs.
That man might be the best coach in the past 5 years, he turned a fatso into a 3x MVP, he won a ring having only 1 allstar, he turned Westbrook into a solution when everyone Bron Laker fans blamed him! DeAndre Jordan and washed up bench dudes is what he's had to use, and the franchise trades away, keys like Brown, KCP and others, pathetic to do this move
The NBA just sucks ass nowadays.
So a great coach with championships on his resume gets the boot while getting ready for the playoffs is crazy
i swear everytime the nuggets are on the news Lakers fans comments are more likely to appear
Man Adam silver like LeBron what more do you want from me💯😭
This was actually a really solid discussion by them imo. Everyone had pretty good takes even if they were different
Cannibal shaq had a word without him making a food plate of off Malone? Fu big nasty troll diddy party lover.
This whole panel is just boring to watch and listen to.
Wesbrick effect😂😂😂
Shaq forgot about what Hakeem did to him😂 BBQ chicken when he was Orlando Shaq 😂with extra sauce 😂😂 Hakeem VS Shaq NBA Finals 1st time
Random question and they shouldn't have fired Malone… but what happened to the crew? Where is Mr. Earnie and Chuck?
This is very sad, Coach Malone is an awesome coach, the best coach this franchise ever had and he truly loved and cared for the players and treated them like family! When Jamal Murray injured his ACL and was crying because he thought he was gonna get traded Malone told him we’re not gonna trade you, you’re ours and we’re gonna help you recover and be better than ever, which is what happened! They won a championship with Coach Malone! He always spoke highly of his players and praised them for their accomplishments and he gave them tough love and held them accountable when he knew they could do better! Shame on the idiots who decided to fire Michael Malone! The lack of respect to Malone is pathetic from the ownership/management!
This shits embarrassing for the nba
How can anyone say this is a bad firing when nobody knows the reason?
Two of your best players are put every other night whys that on malone
What if Jokic said “him or me”
“Coach is trippin” yeah that’s why he got fired you can’t say little remarks like that
There has to be a better way to say it than the coach got in my ass all the time.
When ur coach and GM don’t have a good relationship and ur whole team doesn’t watch film then it’s inevitable
NBA is paving a trail for LeBron to win another ring before he retires
Mavs trade the best player in the NBA? For nothing?
Grizz fire their coach at 4th seed
Now nuggets
3 western conference playoff teams and top Contenders.
No coincidences
They will be swept in the playoffs
7:08 win the game !!! Also play defense instead tryna get more pts sounds crazy coming from Candice Parker who was a very good defender
This show is garbage anymore
They fired him now coz they dont think they can win in the playoffs this year even with homecourt advantage in the early rounds.
Management clearly doesnt see them going anywhere in the future moving forward with Mike Malone.
New Gen NBA soft af.. not even really a sport anymore
front office about to mvp if they play first round against warriors
I'm 100% with Candace. The locker room doesn't believe in Malone. It's time for him to go fishing
Lakers sign him now he can be assistant coach
The team owners are just business people, that's all.
That's all.
