Malone not putting Bones or Forbes back in was crazy

I now see where Wes Unseld Jr. gets some of this inflexibility to adjusting from

Don’t believe this at all. Jokic has said nothing but glowing things about Malone. Credits him with being the one to trust him with the offense, etc.

I actually think firing Malone would increase the chances of Jokic leaving

OK then let it rock...gotta have more confidence in Bones and what's the deal with Cousins?

Everytime I've watched the nuggets he's been mediocre. What does Mike see in him?

“He works hard and plays the game the right way” the same talking points he has for all his favorite players even when they are playing like ass. I have been said that Malone needs to go and that bubble run has extended his run with the team longer than it would have been naturally. I have been said this team would thrive under Will Hardy and the motion offense designed by pop.

Malone definitely makes bad rotation choices. Bones should’ve played 36 mins tonight, and I probably would’ve given Markus Howard the other 12.

But he usually learns his lesson and makes the right correction eventually. Pretty much every fan base has issues with their coach’s rotations

Facu is a 5-10 minute guy at the most

The problem is how long it takes Malone to make those corrections. Him overplaying Facu has been an issue since he got here and him not giving other guys playing time is a recurring theme. In the playoffs it is the same thing it usually takes him two to three games to adapt which can be a killer.

One thing a writer said that's a good take away is that we may have lost, but Jokic had none turnovers, pretty much everyone aside from Bones played horribly, they were gassed and missed shots towards the end but we still only lost by six to a very good team that's surging. Plus help is on the way

Saw the same tweet. I’m feeling good about the team overall. The Monte/will/Jeff/AG/Jok lineup is one of the best of the league, so adding Jamal and MPJ to that will be lethal. Plus the bench has started turning a corner with bones, zeke and boogie.

Season is just gonna come down to how healthy Jamal and MPJ can get by playoff time. If they’re both 80%, we can win a chip
