I cannot figure out why the hell we slow down so much against the Rockets. It never works but we always try it.

I'd guess it's probably over-coaching. Malone is so competitive and such a control freak that he just can't let the team play their game.

I think he either:

A.) Coaches for his job. When someone on the Nuggets commits a "turn-ovuh" or someone on the other team scores I think he worries that it will get him fired, so he sabotages the players he feels are responsible for these things by either refusing to let them play the way they want to or excluding them from the rotation entirely.

B.) Is sabotaging the Nuggets roster until he gets the one (the roster) he wants. There is no other explanation for why he bullied the FO into trading Nurkic for Mason Plumsap, signed Millsap for $30 million a year, and now bullied the FO into trading Mudiay for Devin Harris. That's two first round picks traded for Mason Plumsap and Devin Harris, are you actually happy with that? Not to mention how he's filling the roster with G-League players (no disrespect, they're obviously good people and probably even players) who play the way he wants...

Yes. I am working on my language and the hashtags. Hopefully I don't get banned. Is what I just said there accurate? Where might I be wrong?

Also, what are some things that you'd rather me talk about compared to pointing out how Malone is sabotaging the team? I mean, you agree with me, so I'm not sure what the problem is.

Please consider the opinions of others and do not just dismiss everyone as being ignorant. There are many people who are not fans of Malone. That is not the problem we have with you. We want to welcome all posters, but there are other conversations besides "Fire Malone".

There are people on this board who have followed the Nuggets since they were the Denver Rockets of the ABA. They understand the anguish of the true fan. They also understand that Malone is not the only problem with the current Nuggets. The front office has constructed an out-of-balance roster. We have young players that are still making too many mistakes and we have veterans that are either not giving a full effort (or so it seems) as well as veterans that just don't seem to adapt well to the style of play that our core of Jokic, Harris, and Murray play.

Thank you - you are always welcome to send me a private message to discuss topics - your passion would be welcome here --- if it were not just saying the same thing over and over
