This is Malone’s M.O.: “don’t coach, allow crappy defense every year, say a bunch of responsibility-shirking drivel to the media when we lose. Repeat.”
Embid : is this your king .. lol
Advance stats is good but dam like u can't tell me this dude is a good defender idk
Micheal Malone is like a Walmart version of Micheal de Santa from gta 5 lol.
Anomaly game for the raptors
Malone still hasn't figured out how to get Jokic defensive help and he is too sentimentally close to JM to bench him. Every player shot above 50% and they still lost because JM again just shoots them right out of the game. Wake up Malone!
Jokic after his next triple double in a win: “I THINK I GOT MY SWAGGER BACK”
great coach
It’s Michael Malone not Mike
But but but he’s the mvp I thought 3 rd place in the east
Does he know he can jump in American basketball on a dunk or block and defense is allowed. Oh you don’t have to pass the ball when your 7 ft and in the paint. Do like the freak or Joel 2 steps and dunk it and get an and one. Better than a 3 point shot because you get the same points but there get a foul and get to the bonus also
Jokic would pair well with a consistent scoring guard but he can't do it alone. JM is the kind of guard you bring off the bench as a spark, and if he doesn't have it, you sit him down again. The Nugs are going nowhere this year and need to spend or trade to get an all star caliber guard in the off-season. Plus fire Malone.
Fire Malone he’s the issue
Why isn’t he taking at least 25 shots screw the assists
Am here ,today ,tomorrow ,day after tomorrow, am not going anywhere
In few weeks you will be gone if u lose in first round Mike
He runs like there’s glue on the court. Lose some weight and he’s way better
Man get the f outta hear with this weak s**t yo Celtics tanking to not see the CAvs till possibly the C.F. and Nuggets trying to duck a Lakers match up in the first round lol!..
Steve got the easiest Job in the world TBH he's literally only there cause he's SVPs friend 😆
The Nuggets, and my Celtics a slippin
The NBA Eminem only took 13 shots because he was protecting his efficiency rate and was looking for his stad padding triple double.
Why doesn't espn discuss the 4 game loss streak?
Anyone that tells me that Jokic deserves to be a 3x MVP and join the likes of Larry f*n Bird really needs to stop obsessing over stats and just look at Denver right now. Jokic defensively is well… a joke. To elevate him to the likes of Bird, Wilt and Russell is simply offensive to what they achieved because Jokic and this Denver team have achieved nothing and look like they'll continue to achieve nothing.
I remember when the media said Giannis couldn't win a third MVP until he'd actually done something in the post-season. Really don't get how that narrative applied to him and doesn't apply to Joker…
Nuggets have been way overrated all season and now their true worth is coming to light, expect a first round exit 😁 !
Nope. Peaked too early. Murray breaking down. Malone making weird choices. Jokic tired of the BS. They thinking about off season and greener pastures. Too many banana peels in the west for nuggets to advance.
Sounds good but did he not make a speech prior to the game addressing this? They had already lost 3 consecutive. You say this for the press but what did you tell your players cause it didn't stick.
Nuggets best players aren’t two way players. Your best guy is your Center who no one is afraid of going in the paint against him. Murray can’t consistently defend the perimeter, MJP has the size but doesn’t want to play defense. They can’t stop anyone
The biggest takeaway is that 1st in the West would be 4th in the East this season
Giannis MVP
Jamal layin' them bricks!
I like Malone.the coach one
Naw coach Malone the truth.
Jamal Murray shot 5-18 this game which makes him 23-73 the last four games. They lost all of those games too. How can the Nuggets win when the 2nd best player is shooting 31%??
Embiid for mvp all day
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.
