They do not fukk with him at all from what I see - might have to trade him

that starts with Malone, the front office and him don’t view players the same way. That is why grant is gone because Malone used him out of desperation not because he actually that he was a useful player. After grant showed how valuable he was the nuggets front office basically had to try and sell him to return to a time that had will Barton and paul milsap starting over him. Malone doesn’t like MPJ so does nothing to really develop him and take shots at him during interviews. So the team feeds off of his energy because MPJ isn’t one of Malones underdog guys. I doubt MPJ stays in Denver after his rookie contract especially if Malone is still the coach

Gotta disagree with you breh. He’s had minutes jerked around slightly, but he’s played a ton recently.

The concerning thing is MPJ doesn’t really do anything on offense with the ball in his hands besides jack up contested shots. They go in a lot but he has no bag. We thought he could be a KD type player, but he’s only beaten like 2 dudes off the dribble all season. They’ve tried to work him into the dribble handoff game but all he can do at this point is come off it and shoot a midrange j. He’s got a lot of work to do on his game to justify the thought of him being held back. If he didn’t have Jokic creating for him, he’d be looking awful this year.

he is playing a ton recently because of the injuries if dozier, milsap, and green were health his minutes would be closer to the nineteen he played against Atlanta.

the offensive stuff I disagree with, most of the time mpj forces shots because he is trying to force his way into the offense because they don’t run any plays for him. MPJ has a middling first step so he isn’t going to blow past many people but he has shown to have a competent back to the basket post game when he is allowed to use it. He also needs to add head fakes and jab steps to his game in order to create more space but anytime he does anything out of the norm the entire team gives him the :stopitslime::comeon::ufdup: stifling his ability to work on and develop those aspects of his game. Honestly, everyone looks terrible if Jokic doesn’t create for them and that includes Murray half the time, he has turned it up recently but there has been way to many games this season where he had been bad. I also think the over reliance on Jokic to create the offense is a weakness that Malone will never grapple with because it means he will have to actually develop an offensive system.

I think giving the right coach MPJ offensively is closer to Danny Granger than KD. I think we will see the best of MPJ on a different team because Malone doesn’t value MPJ.

Wherever nikkas need to be told on
fukking Malone blaming the players
they are conditioned from his shytty coaching, so he should take some of the blame
“conditioned?” You telling me this man got mind control over them like that. Let’s assume they are encouraged to take 3s bully their coaching staff in all situations. Are you saying they have no natural instinct? No basketball IQ that kicks in and says we’re only down 2 , it’s a 4 on 1, let’s get the layup and go to OT?

This 3 chucking era has removed all thought process

Analytics says these nikkas brains aren't to be trusted with decision making:francis:

(Shoot a 3 or drive, your only options lol)

So yes they didn't think... why would they when they are trained to be mechanical 3 chuckers:gucci:


What do u think is going in practice breh :laff: late game tactical situations or fukkin running to the 3 line and fukkin chucking:laff:

Thank God for nikkas like Zion and Giannis. League done turned into a glorified 3pt contest. Motherfukkers first instincts now is to just camp out at the 3 instead of the easiest points in basketball :snoop:

Portland blew a chance at a comeback last night by doing that shyt
When Dame's 3s aren't falling, he's basically just giving up free posessions for the other team

Former NBA players were saying it all yesterday, you dont do shyt like that unless it's what you practice over and over to the point where it's automatic. Players grow up running to the rim for a easy dunk, all day. Avoiding the rim and running to the 3 point line is something the coach drills into you.

And the people saying "you gotta go with your instinct and play ball", you know what happens when you do that now and go against coaching, you find yourself on the bench. You think every NBA player just forgot how to shoot a mid range shot? That shyt is forcefully coached out of them.
