Uhhhhhhh what the hell is going on in the Western Conference?????
Much like Jenkins, Malone is the winningest coach in franchise history who JUST won a title in 2023.
What exactly does this accomplish?
Now, you fire the coach in hopes of what?
This lights a fire under everyone and gets them to magically be different players than we saw all season?
It’s technically still possible that the Nuggets get into a top 3 seed!
Everything he’s done since 2023 has been a disaster.
Maybe don’t have those guys in your locker room, considering this team JUST WON THE TITLE.
Perhaps the coaching staff knows what it takes.
It wasn’t Malone who gave Jamal Murray that $200M extension.
Whenever Malone ripped into his team for playing like dickheads, it was warranted.
He didn’t lie once.
At some point, the players have to live up to their end of the bargain.
Does he look around and see that this is a championship organization?
Do the Nuggets now slide to the Play In?
Are they punting on the season despite still very much being alive in the playoff race?
When was the last time we’ve seen this from a recent champion who might win 50 games?
There has to be more to the story here, and maybe we’ll never know the true details.
