Michael Malone Could Be On Hot Seat If Nuggets Disappoint In Playoffs
MAR 14, 2023 3:38 PM

The Western Conference is wide open this season, which gives the Denver Nuggets their best chance to reach The Finals in franchise history.

"I think given the state of the West, there's enormous pressure on this team right now," said Zach Lowe on his podcast of the Nuggets.

"I don't know if it's championship or bust, but if this team loses before the conference finals, it's going to be a disappointment. If they lose in the first round, it's going to be a catastrophe that I think will push some potential changes."

Later in the conversation with Adam Mares, Lowe directly said he was alluding to Michael Malone regarding potential changes.

"This is the year where Michael Malone, I think, is facing an enormous amount of pressure," said Mares.

"That's kind of what I was alluding to," replied Lowe.

You can tell by his comments in recent press conferences that he knows it too. Granted he should have been gone years ago.

 

[Big Boss]

They have to at least make it to the WCF

 

[jdubnyce]

Last night's presser was
Chill mode
Lotta talk about.....defense
Has to be WCF or bust

 

[Mastamimd]

He's low-key been there for a minute

If it wasn't for injuries he'd be gone by now

 

[Mastamimd]

No excuses now though

 

[In The Zone '98]

They was tryna get Bud out the paint too.

Jokic gonna come thru for him. I'm sure.

 

[mvp_status]

If the Lakers get that 8th seed, he might as well clean out his desk ahead of time

Not if the Nuggets tank and let the Kings get the 1st seed

[the elastic]

Get that dude outta there. Too many chances

 

[T.he I.nformant]

They got a fully healthy team

Ain’t no reason for them to NOT make a deep run

This postseason we’ll see if their talent and coaching is good enough

 

[T.he I.nformant]

Poll options are dumb as hell though

West is not weak if teams are healthy

And that HC seat should be lava if they can’t get out of that first round

Yeah with how the West is this year the top 2 seeds may have their hands full if you get any combination of LAL, GSW, LAC, or OKC are there. Not saying OKC would go far, but they can definitely push a team to 7 with SGA, Giddy, and Williams I think his name is.

 

[THE 101]

That goes without saying.

One of Murray and MPJ probably get's traded as well if they don't at least make the conference finals.
