If he's lost the team, which this certainly sounds like, it makes plenty of sense. You're the coach, not some passive bystander that gets to just observe that players aren't doing what they are supposed to be doing

Holding people accountable and doing it well is one of the toughest parts of any leadership role.

every fanbase hates the the coach, regardless of their success. I would definitely not listen to the people who are emotionally invested in the team.

I also wouldn't listen to someone who isn't invested aside from a couple of games where the matchups are fun.

Can the Thunder trade for Jokic now instead of when the season is over?

-Let KCP walk for nothing
-Let Bruce Brown walk for nothing
-Overpay Jamal Murray considering that he's never been named an All-Star
-Didn't recoup the depth lost

And the coach is to blame for that...

Literally ever Nuggets fan i've seen on this forum wants him gone. Jokic can only save him for so long.

Have you seen a person on this board who doesn't want their coach fired He just won a championship less than two years ago, truly must be awful.

Yeah, RealGMers is where you look for coaching insight...

Good. It won't save this season, but a clean out had to be done.

find me a single fanbase who has had a coach for more than a couple of seasons that actually wants to keep the coach

Um the Nuggets had no chance to retain Bruce Brown.

Who's the interim? Is it Adelman (sp?)

Did the NBA make Denver fire their coach and GM to help the Lakers?

How does the firing of Mike Malone affect Lebron's legacy? More on that on "NBA Today"

All jokes aside, he did used to coach LBJ on the Cavs.

Well who should i listen to for coaching insight? What access do i have other than Realgm and the fans watching their teams.

Should i listen to coaching insight when posters say Malone was a good coach and scapegoated?

THIS! How is it going to help them in the playoffs to nuke the coaching staff literal days before the post season starts? If you believe your chances of winning the title are dwindling either way, why not at least give it one more shot with the coach that already won a title? How does this help them win a title this season?

Blame Rasho · Post #116 » by **Blame Rasho** » Tue Apr 8, 2025 5:47 pm

They need to sign Rasho as coach and GM.

WTF? This was a hold my beer moment for Denver.

Patches Perry · Post #118 » by **Patches Perry** » Tue Apr 8, 2025 5:47 pm

You wonder if this is a long term move. Denver can still slip out of the playoffs and into the lottery. Perhaps their salary situation has them so strapped that they'd rather punt this postseason in favor of a lottery pick to acquire more talent?

Probably not but what the hell are they thinking right before the playoffs.

But 5 games before end of the year? That is absolutely ridiculous, bush league garbage. He deserved the opportunity to finish out this season.

It’s obviously meant to send a message to the players. The culture is rotten in that locker room. Not because they hate each other or anything like that, it’s just a casual, country club, old boys club vibe. And you can’t say that Malone isn’t responsible for at least some of that.

This team has been the great underachieving team of the year. They have the talent to win it all but are nowhere near title contention because they’re mentally weak.

Apparently Clipper fans love Lue for some reason when he’s not a good coach either.
