WHEN YOUR BEST PLAYER ONLY PLAYS ONE END OF THE COURT .. THE OTHER PLAYERS WON'T GIVE ENERGY EITHER .. AND GETTING YOUR COACH FIRED DISQUALIFIES YOU FROM MVP CONSIDERATION ..
Just when I thought the Luka trade or the Taylor Jenkins firing would be the most shocking thing to happen this season in the NBA, the firing of Michael Malone has managed to take the top spot. Malone led the Nuggets to a NBA championship a few years ago and the regular season is almost over. I understand that winning it all doesn't always mean that you're going to be around forever for sports teams, especially in recent years, but I still thought that Malone would have at least had the chance to finish out the season and then part ways with the team.
WTF??? Right before playoffs? Looks like the NBA is pushing an agenda to take out the Nuggets to give the lakers a one up.
So fuckin stupid! Yet they keep Jamal Murray!? Wtfโฆ. I hope Nikola dips out on the nuggets now thatโs the dumbest decision Ive ever seen before the playoffs! Dumb as fuck!
Stupid ass Kroenkeโs this seasonโs over! I ainโt spending one more dollar on nuggets tickets ๐ฏ for what? So I can leave ball arena feeling dumb as fuck for throwing my money away ๐
Malone was one of the best coaches this year and the kroenkeโs are the dumbest motherfuckers ever!
Wrong GM ! Fire nico!
It is time for Joker to move to Lakers. With Doncic oooooh mama mia. Unstopable.
this was a smart move by the Nuggets. I commend the ownership for doing this and the timing was great. malone is all talk and no action. The defense has been atrocious for long time, player development has been lacking. Its his success is tied to jokic
Who's your daddy? Lol ๐๐๐
CALVIN BOOTH, JOHN WILKES BOOTH, WILLIAM BOOTH, PHONE BOOTH. LAKERS IN FIVE!!!๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐
I just canโt believe this! ๐คฆโโ๏ธ
Makes perfect sense if you follow the Nuggets daily. Jokic makes everyone around him better, including the coaches. 30 NBA teams, 31 G League Teams… There are hundreds of coaches out there. How many could have won with that lineup in 2022? The answer is not 1. In fact, it is likely greater than 50. My prediction is that Malone is a .500 coach in his next stop. Malone did not get the best out of MPJ, did not game plan effectively for the shortcomings in his roster (esp on the D end), and seems incapable of adapting to the different personalities that make up a modern NBA team . Hats off for developing Jokic and Braun. Hats down for not developing anyone else.
Insane
Nuggets fans should boycott remaining home games or pick a game for protesting the firing of Malone. Make sure to boo Kronke whenever you see them. Longtime Nuggets fan here needs to rethink whether or not to remain one.
The NBA is clown world
Stupid, stupid move to fire coach.
Michael Malone quit coaching.He left the same guys in no matter how bad they play defense and how many shots they missed.He never played anybody new to try to spark the team
Thought that was Nicholas cage on the thumbnail
As a Serb i want Jokic to leave this team is tanking
Joker will definitely request a trade
Financially, they'll all be just FINE ๐.
The owners are scumbags
This is disappointing.
your gonna fire the people responsible for drafting jokic? wow
No females speaking this time ๐ฎ
Make no mistake.. Something is going on behind the scenes..
Let's look (Knee-Deep) into this…
Could be a legal case pending against coach..
Or he said something super disrespectful to ownership..
That is why it makes no sense, until we hear what happened behind the scenes..
Mike Malone the best coach in Nuggets history, still winning games with an injury plagued team this year. What in the world!?
Who's your daddy now? Good for him he is so arrogant
I'm a lakers fan and i see this is ridiculous, mike malone is an incredible coachโคโคโคโค
Finally the Nuggets are doing something ๐ช NEXT IS JAFAL WORRY/JABUM BLURRY THE BIGGEST JOKIฤ MERCHANT EVER
Westbrook effect
Hamas made us do it , no other explanation.
He failed to lose lots more games to get the first round pick
I guess when the uber-rich lose a lot of money in the market, they need to lash out. F u Kroenke!
these teams ๐๐๐๐ trying to pull a GSW when they fired Mark Jackson and hired Steve Kerr ๐๐๐๐ that sht will never happen again Denver will never win a chip period
It seems like the league is conspiring
So what's Kroenke going to do when he realizes Malone was not the problem?
Firing the coach right before playoffs, something behind the scenes but eventually may come out. This won't help the post season.
Murray's gonna get traded come off season.
