Nuggets Fire Michael Malone, Elevate David Adelman To Interim Head Coach

[Charlesareed]

Malone to Memphis now?

I like that but he’d kill ja and tee morant lol

Meanwhile Portland's GM gives himself an extension after being a horrible GM for the last 3 seasons.

Jokic averages 30/11/10 shooting better than Curry in 3pt %
He has only ever had 1 career coach
Play-offs start next week
Home court advantage and their 2nd best player returning from injury
They had won a championship

why would a business do something so unprofessional

It takes Towns and Gobert or Davis and Howard to stop Jokic, Wolves got rid of Towns and the Nuggets were Contenders

[Vegeta10176]

I guess all these team owners watched their stocks crash and are trying to save some money. Another ridiculous coach firing.

Firing the coach will cost money not save it..

[Vegeta10176]

lost 4 games and got fired? this is ridiculous.
is it malones fault westbrook fouled a 3pt shooter to lose in overtime to wolves??
is it malones fault every starter from double overtime game the night before had to rest or was injured?
is it malones fault jalen picket threw the ball away then jokic threw the ball away on last 2 possession of pacers game?

front office is saying "it is a necessary step to allow us to compete at the highest level right now""

what???

I think it's the GMs fault but he was also fired so I guess there is that then is there a refusal by ownership to pay into the luxury tax?

Malone to SAS now that Popovich will likely won't return coaching

[Melwing]

At least in Memphis's case, the coach was blatantly refusing to run pick and rolls, the best play for his roster.

This is just bananas, unless I'm totally ignorant on something

[Jax_23]

Luka Doncic
Mike Malone
Taylor Jenkins

owners had an LSD pow wow

crazy

[CaHgO]

Lol, the Westrbick effect

[CaHgO]

Lol, bros acting surprised... What did you expect to happen when you traded away all your decent defenders (KCP, Bruce Brown, etc.) and "replaced" them with the likes of Deandre Jordan, Reggie Jackson, Dario Saric, Vlatko Cancar, and Russel Westbrick LMFAO.
A backcourt of Murray/Westbrick/Braun is literally the worst defense you could possibly imagine. The frontcourt with Jokic and MPJ is not a world-beater either. The only person on that team who can play at least some defense is Gordon.

The front office and the coaching has been a suicidal debacle ever since they won the championship.

They have been in a free-fall for the last 2 months, so both of them got rightly fired. In fact, it should have been done months ago - sometime before/after the all-star break as it was pretty clear at that point they are not competing for anything with their current roster. Take Jokic out and they are literally a lottery team. And the only two buffoons to blame for are Malone and Booth.

must be the NBA illuminati trying to secure lebron another title, right?

[The Beam King]

The NBA is a joke. ADAM SILVER is the clown of this circus. Each franchise is its own side show. The stupid amount money they make now has ruined the game. If they weren't a monopoly they'd be Sears. And even as a monopoly they very well might go the way of Sears.

Malone to Memphis now?

I like that but he’d kill ja and tee morant lol

That's actually a good point.

[Risk Addict]

Could Booth have fired Malone and then owner axed Booth in Retaliation???
