Pathetic excuse of a coach
I appreciate everything Coach Malone has done for nuggets but nuggets might need a new coach to get us to that championship level. I hope I am wrong
Nope you just suck at coaching and you didn’t call a time out once you cut the lead to 4 you failed at your job
Have some PRIDE Malone.
Resign.
Take Murray with you.
Just go away and shut up.
Team is falling apart and the supposed LEADER is blameless.
Nice.
Malone has NO CLUE. Completely OUT OF PLACE.
WORTHLESS IDIOT WHO KNOWS SHIT ABOUT BASKETBALL
Please leave and bring jamal whit you
This coach loves to talk a lot, he needs to learn how to coach smart
Be a man and resign
Who is going to hold Malone accountable for his bad decisions? Has he lost the team? This guy doesn't hold Jamal accountable for playing selfish hero/iso basketball. It doesn't look like he's fighting, standing there with his arms folded. How about making in-game adjustments, actually calling plays, and benching veterans who play lazy inconsistent basketball. This guy is full of it.
He's a joke…. Please change him…
You have to play Jokic more man play him the whole 4th!!!!
Do the right thing Malone, resign.
just need to lose the next game in the 4th quarter and the ritual is complete!
Why does everyone want him fired?
A ring saved Mike Budenholzer job. Malone is in a similar spot pre KD's toe on the 3 point line.
They need to trade Jamal! Probably need to fire Malone, he clearly not playing defense and not controlling wild/crazy Jamal.
MJ 5-8 for 3s, Jamal 1-8 for 3s, and he continus to shoot
They need to fire your ass. You are terrible coach. Your rotation doesn't make any sense. You and Murray will come costly to this team. Jokic needs to get out of your team.
You and Jamall gonna cost this team dearly. How long until management decided to let this guy go. He us second worst coach in NBA history.
Media needs to ask some real fucking questions. Not “Was the energy one of the reasons for the 1st quarter disaster?” No shit. Ask him why Jamal is playing 40 minutes after being questionable heading into the game, why Jokic has been so passive recently, why he waited until the 7 minute mark to bring MPJ and Jokic back in the game, etc.
I’m fired up. I believe in Malone! I believe in this team! Let’s go nuggets!!
No, sir, you lost it in the 4th quarter, you had the momentum, going into the 4th quarter, but you, sir, failed to build on it, by waiting too long to introduce Jokic into the 4th quarter, talk about sense of urgency
Really disappointed. This whole post game thing was Malone taking no responsibility and blaming everything on the players. It wreaked of a guy that believes projecting laughable irrational arrogance will make fans or management look away from his many failures. Without Jokic this guy is an assistant coach. That's a fact. I almost never bash coaches but this just made me angry. The reality is he's said exactly the same things endlessly for 9 years. I'm sick of listening to him. I can't imagine how sick the players are. So he had to bring in 'veterans' like Ish Smith and DJ who never play to speak to the team. This is becoming farce.
"San Antonio is playing for pride.."🤣🤣
Time to go
Lotta blame on Malone here, but I really think hes not the issue. Our guys are really not trying hard right now!!!
FIRE MALONE!!!!!!! I smell an early playoff exit again this year…..no way should this guy be coaching this team any longer. Give me Ime Udoka or Nick Nurse…
4 losses in a row. Hahahaha
Yep, fake MVP.
This was a good message from coach tonight… not sure what to think right now the rest of the season will tell me what we need to do moving forward… I will be watching very closely and I’m sure booth is too… hope we win it all and all this won’t matter
I've heard all kinds of crap from Malone over the years, but this was the highlight: Imagine, he's proud of the veterans on the team, and we all see them not playing, they're at the level of statistical error! This coach is so selfish that he attacks the players of his team, everything is the fault of the players, only he is not to blame. He says he's proud of his players for reducing the deficit to three, but he doesn't understand why they gave up after that??? Imagine, Malone doesn't know what happened??? And we all saw the reason: the team stopped because he left Murray to do whatever he wanted on the field, shoot and miss, drag the ball for more than 20 seconds and all that without Jokić! A good coach is characterized by timely time-outs and rotations, choosing starters who are the best at the given moment and not because of past merits, etc… Malone does a little of the above, that's why the Nuggets lost and that's why they're losing in the series. That bad streak will end when Malone starts to do a job for which he is more than well paid, and talks less nonsense at press conferences.
Dear Mr Malone, when Jamal starts overdribbling, making tough shots, losing himself, please take him out.
Three ways to beat the Nuggets:
1. A few bright spots on offense + Denver's own collapse;
2. Beat the Nuggets on the offensive front, either violent frame attack or technical breakdown on the pick-and-roll;
3. Jokic takes time off to blow up Nuggets.
CHAAAANGE SOMETHING, CHAAANGE ROTATION!! He loses all games at the beginning of the last quarter! Jamal cannot play with the bench. He's destroying even the starters right now! MPJ and Gordon must stay in the game with the bench
MPJ must be option number 2,
Gordon option number 3,
Jamal option number 4
shameless game. pros who does not respect game, fans nor their jersey. how the hell someone gets 50pts in 12 mins? I knew both murray and mpj are super overrated. murray was a cancer on this game, literally. MPJ is trying, but I think his IQ is huge problem.
And, there is a big, big problem – bench. Reggie needs time to start playing again, he is horrible. Malone preparing AG for small ball 5 in PO, so Bryant is off, too. So, if things do not get better soon, first round exit is reality. Cmon,man!
"I ain't going anywhere." Let see about that come next season.
Malone knows!
I don't agree, I think teams found a pill against Nuggets. All 4 defeats opposing teams did the same, they let Jokic do his thing, you pretty much can't stop him, but they closed everyone else, Jamal is not doing what he's supposed too, MPJr is not dude thats capable of leading the team, same stands for AG. They lost what they worked for in the worst possible moment
I think, and I felt so since like forever, Jokic should play PF, he's skilled enough, he has the shot, but no doubt he's not dominant presence defensively in the paint. If you remember Spurs were the best with Duncan and Robinson together on the court.
