I'd fire Darko and hire this man without thinking twice.

Or bring Jokic home to be with his Serbian mate? Lol

Probably, but it's not like he was anything other than an ordinary coach until Jokic.

Weird. They’re sliding a bit right now but partly because Murray’s been out. But they have no depth to survive regular season injuries and have to play Jokic into the ground to get close to 50 wins.

Oh Booth gone too, that makes sense lol

Just a weird timing to fire a coach but at least, they are firing the GM, too, who would be more of a culprit for their record IMO.

Great job? He was under .500 when he was fired in Sacramento. Cousins best years came after Malone, so I dunno what playing 'right' means. If he had a career of doing well before Jokic, maybe there'd be an argument.

I wonder if this still happens without Westbrook's missed bunny and brain fart foul? Probably, but it maybe added to some tension possibly
