Awful move.

Malone is a good coach who became the scapegoat. I'm not even sure any Nuggets fan wanted this to happen either.

Insane timing. I know Nuggets fans wanted him gone, but their issues have more to do with player personnel imo. Calvin Booth should be fired next though for his poor roster construction and the horrible contracts he's given out.

Edit*: Nevermind, Booth is gone too. Cleaning house right before the Playoffs is wild. But it was going to happen this Summer anyways so I guess they just didn't want to delay the inevitable.

What is with playoff teams firing their coaches right before the playoffs...

Why wouldn’t they wait until the season is over at least?

I never rated Malone as a coach but this seems wrong to do it now.

4 game losing streak causes them to fire the dude who got them that banner hanging in Ball Arena.
