Malone is a cry baby
JOKIC is a fraud
This coach can't motivate his players, figure out how to play defense, makes terrible rotations and can't put Jamal to the gym to work on his game and shooting. 49pts in the first quarter and you blame players? Really? Why didn't you prepare them for the game? Nobody can play D anymore? How come?
That’s why he’s the best coach in the west.
Scott Foster was not there to save the Nuggets this time.
Ignore the haters, Denver. Go Nuggets. Sending you lots of love and positive energy( Loving the triple doubles, Jok) !!!!! Idemoooo!!!!
Nuggets over rated asf duh
Seat getting hot 🥵
Bones Hyland laughing 😂
Their mvp don't play defense
Lakers will beat the nuggets rd 1
Mike been in the hood to long 😂
EMBIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIID
Too many of them just standing around being spectators in the game they are supposed to be playing in. Somethings not right in in Denver. The only consistent thing about the Nuggets year after year after year is their inconsistency. If they can't close out regular season games that they definitely need to, especially at this point in the season, there is NO WAY they will ever win a championship.
Hopefully the Nuggets go far this postseason coach job might be on the line low key
Prediction, Nuggets first round exit vs either Kings, or GS.
Not trying: Celtics 🤝 Nuggets
Good job Malone. You are doing great stuff, last 4 games…
Nuggets are the weakest 1 seed in NBA history, Shout-out Jamal Murray personally ruining my parlay . Get Jokic some help Dame to Denver !
Jamal needs to stop shooting 20 times when he’s not playing well and MPJ is. Give the guy who’s got rhythm the ball.
Scott foster didnt play this game thats why…
Nuggets make trade 2 great play bone Hyland & Scott foster
Jokic needs real help. Murray, MPJ and Gordon are often missing in action and inconsistant. This was supposed to be their year since they are all healthy, but it is looking like they will be home after the first round. … Also, they traded Bones who looked really promising. It is hard to take the Nuggets serious.
Jokic somehow has the best defensive plus minus yet he is routinely exposed on d. Sometimes the eye test is a better indicator that advanced stats that nerds love lmao (I like advanced stats too btw but don’t die on that hill)
Believe!
Mike Malone was spitting crazy facts 💯
Fire Malone, terrible coach
only thing chill is your poor adjustments and lack of preparation. when 3's aren't falling, you have a backup plane, team adjusts and attack. but nope. more 3's more misses, unable to rebound, opponent goes back and scores. murray looks off, if its his knee, sit him, period. if you are hurt, you are hurt, no shame. none of this we need his big shots. fair point but we don't need his 10 misses to go with that one shot. pretty much the story of the last 4 games. its a coach's job to have a gameplan, other coaches just figured out the nuggets and jokic's defense is spotty. where is your adjustment malone? time to earn that new contract money.
Good to see Malone passing the blame for another poor coaching performance.
Denver played only one good quarter in this game. They scored only 18 points in the fourth. They need to wake up!
Those JM stats the past 4 games are alarming when the team should be firing at all cylinder at this time of the year
Nothing new in the NBA. Denver nuggets are returning to the place where they belong. The Renault Clio car will never beat a Ferrari in a race. Constructively, the Reno clio was not installed for the 24 Hours of Le Mans race. Denver nuggets with Calvin Booth, Michael Malone, and players Jamal Murray, Michael Porter Jr. and reinforcements Thomas Bryant, Reggie Jackson – that's a team for the Chinese League. You can pay Reno clio like Ferrari but he won't win the race. You can pay Jamal Murray, Michael Porter Jr like Luka Doncic, Devin Booker but they are not the same. The greatest success of Michael Malone is how to destroy the career of Nikola Jokic.
I hope our Nuggets figure out what the problem is. We were playing amazingly before and now this. The problem is mental and Malone and staff need to address this ASAP. Its not luck to be the number one seed for months and then all of a sudden they drop the ball. Obviously JM has some sort of an issue as well and it needs to be addressed and talked about in the locker room. No press just face to face and figure it out. Don't throw this opportunity in the bin please Nugs. We have the talent but we need that killer instinct as well.
im not a nuggest fan but I loved hearing that from the Coach.
