So Mudiay is the only player in double figures in the 1st half and many want to trade him ?? Oh the irony !!

Kinda wondering where Milsaps defensive prowess has been.. Booker ripped him last night Porzingas has 24pts at the half. Don't know if it PM or MM but this ain't right !!

Malone can **** right off. This guy is a loser and needs to go.

Dubious decision to start Plumlee ,Arthur and others , instead of starters who made the comeback in the third quarter , Denver clearly had the momentum going on , very poor job by Malone as usual.

Malone is a complete ****, he is a control freak, needs to be committed and not be a coach.

**** me if I know what was Malone doing. Completely ruined the game with lineups in the 4th (among other thing)

To share the glory, Milsap had one of the worst shooting games I've seen in a while. Surprised (?) that Malone didn't replace him, Kristaps was going off, someone else couldn't have done any worse.....

Millsap can flat out take a nap and Malone will let it slide, I mean the guy is an old veteran that says he plays defense, why not let him play?

It is nice seeing harris, Murray, and Mudiay a starting to play up to expectations, even still Malone puts Barton as a PG for minutes as usual. Plumlee cannot play so many minutes, I cannot figure out what he does well expect for an occasional pass.

Jokic should attempting much more shots per game , look how Knicks are utilizing Porzingis , he took 24 shots tonight compared to Jokic 15, Malone continues to sabotage Jokic's development for some reason , the man really lacking some backbone beside poor coaching.

I think the Plumlee minutes is to justify that ridiculous contract extension he received.

I thinks that's your Jokic bias showing thru......Malone may not know what he's doing but he does know where his bread is buttered....he seems to have butterfingers though.

Looks like Mudiay has improved his 3pt shot some.

Murray really needs to work on his 3pt shooting, he could be a completely dangerous player if he can learn to shoot from distance. 18% from 3 isn't gonna get it done imo.

Like all shooter, just wasn't feeling the 3ball tonight....he's only 20, still got room to grow.

Malone has to play him to prove the front office was right to sign him. Unfortunately, like Nurkic, Malone doesn't know how to use him. The only difference is Millsap won't whine & cry - at least not very fast.

Malone has to play him to prove the front office didn't make a mistake in signing him. Unfortunately, Malone can't figure out that Plumlee is fair as a 10 mpg backup center.

Than explain to everyone here why Malone's most efficient scorer and all around best offensive player doesn't have more attempted shots per game, imagine if Jokic have taken same amount shots as Porzingis tonight, he might have scored 50 points and Nuggets would have won the game :-?

Just compare shooting percentages of both players tonight . Did anyone after the game ask Malone why he didn't start Jokic in the last quarter since he pulled him out of the game last three minutes of the third quarter, I think that's enough time for resting between quarters. Malone is highly incompetent coach, sooner he's fired better will be for Denver.

More than his shots I'm missing his passes from the 2nd half of the previous season. Why he loses his unique "point-center" role from last season which opponents can't solve? Since he gets his starting role in the middle of December last year, Jokic have only once 5 games in the row without any match with over 5 assists, now after just 7 matches he already has such series (and still counting!). For a team sake, he needs more balls in his hands... for more shooting and passing both.

Anyone notice how often Murray is taking a last second shot to be the clock? He's not stat conscious - he just tries to win no matter what. I still believe 3-4 years from now, he'll prove to be elite - unless Malone destroys him.
