I don't think you can use that narrative either.
Him getting fired was just on impulsiveness and well you cant fire the players.
If we, by all accounts, are praising the Twolves for being super impressive so far in the playoffs, then why would it be a shocker for them to to lose in a sweep? It wouldn't.
People were dogging the Suns for getting swept. Thats because they didnt know how good the TWolves actually were.
Yet they are now beating the Nuggets even worse then they did the Suns. If they dont turn it around tonight, its probably another sweep. If that happens, is it because something Malone did? Or is it because the Twolves just rose better and matchup better?
Vogul isn't great but he isn't the reason why they got sent home like that. The Twolves deserve alot of credit.
My guess is the owner always wanted Coach Budd and now he has the excuse.
I do not disagree. I think Beal was a terrible move for the Suns and Durant is really at the end of his career. I just think the whole situation is suboptimal. What Bud was good about doing was getting MORE out of his role players than other coaches. So we will see if that holds true in Phoenix.
Just funny that the guy that beat them in the Finals is now the HC.
