Nuggets Coach Malone and GM Calvin Booth FIRED

[darryl]

What point are you trying to make?

Wtf you think Cac? You probably believe Jokic is the MVP of this season and the nuggets are winning the West

No chance they give Porter the deal they did if they knew second apron was coming.

Blame CJ dumb ass.

Man, you in your feelings 10/10. I wasn’t even talking to you. Beat it.

I cannot deny his greatness but the absolute audacity is beyond comprehension

What audacity? Look at how he played defense during the Finals run. He is capable of being average. But he needs his teammates to give a damn of staying in front of their man. It's the least they can do

Watson averaged 11ppg as a starter this season and they were sub-.500 during that time. Literally EVERY player shows flashes at some point, it doesn't mean anything more than that. These guys just arent very good.

Fans of every team calls for their HC's job at some point. People wanted Steve Kerr fired because he wasn't "developing" wiseman. It's the same thing here. Warriors fans been using the Kuminga "consistent minutes" talking point for about 3 seasons now and he's a net negative. He gets numbers, but it doesn't translate to winning. Every fan thinks their young guys are next up, but it's only because they play next to a superstar why they even look decent. These dudes just ain't it.

Rather disingenuous to put that blame on him, which is you’re essentially doing.

Lmfaoooooo, GOAT franchise got nikkaz scrambling tryna come up with solutions. It’s the era of the Don Luka it is what it is

 

[Bigwhite2498]

they're not good role players either. and thats not the coach's fault. Most of these guys are at their ceiling

Erik don’t have no problem making scrubs look serviceable. That is a coaching error. Especially with someone who makes his teammates better like jokic

This was a five-game stretch they had recently without him -

#25th in defensive rating
#29th in contested shots
#28th in giving up points in the paint
#27th in giving up drives into the paint
#24th in giving up fastbreak points.

That's how bad their defense was without him.

Whatever emphasis cats want to put on what culpability he has, the issue is more to do with their overall personnel and scheme.

I know TheColi likes getting at the low-hanging fruit, but in the possessions you see Denver at that end of the floor, he's constantly marshaling the troops to be in the right position, calling out opposition offensive plays before they unfold and making sure communication is always high. There's a lot more to defense than just blocking shots at the rim, which on that topic, if the perimeter defenders can't keep their men in front of them, you can't expect him to pick up unnecessary fouls when they need him to stay on the floor.

Spoiler

Coach Killa strikes again

 

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

Denver should be looking at bringing in Sam Cassell (he'd be the ideal fit with Jokic). And get him a GM that fits his directive. It's evident whomever they bring in, they need both to be on the same page.

 

[Dem313wayz]

Myers didn't do shyt. Jerry West built the dynasty

 

[Guess Who]

Shoulda fired Booth and kept Malone.

 

[duckbutta]

nikkas talking about “development” like strawther, Pickett and Watson are supposed to be all-stars

They’re ass. They been ass for years. It’s not malone’s fault they are ass. They get the minutes, they’re just not that good

Yeah people blaming Malone for the offense looking bad without Jokic but whenever I watch Denver bench play outside of Russ and Braun I'm like

Myers is super over rated. I only give him credit for getting Igoudala. Everything else he’s done has been lackluster or given to him on a silver platter.
