    ayoooo

    I get the Nuggets are a little disappointing, but c’mon

    5 games before the postseason? These organizations are outta line atp

    Denver and Memphis are the type to fire somebody right before Christmas and tell them “happy holidays,” I just know they are

    I remember the days when winning a Championship gave a coach more than two years of a grace period.

    That was a terrible decision. He’s an outstanding coach who always stands by his players. Teams will be lining up to sign him this offseason.

    I don't understand firing coaches a couple of weeks before the playoffs. Mike Malone being fired makes no sense. Maybe Jokic will be available this offseason, although maybe Jokic really doesn't give a damn and just want to go home to be with his horses.

    Turned that loser franchise and led them to their first title. That used to mean something.

    Just WOW. Jamal Murray has been so inconsistent since they won the title and their bench leaves a lot to be desired. In no way was Malone responsible for that. He'll be the first coach to be hired this offseason for sure.

    Well, now you have two franchises that are likely to not perform very well these playoffs, Denver and Memphis.

    Strange year. I would think for Denver, the Russell Westbrook signing was all on Jokic not on anyone else.

    If you're the Grizzlies, you hire Malone immediately.

    Jokic will join Luka, they are good friends.

    Lebron
    Luka
    Jokic

    Big 3 all over again and Lebron is able to play until he turns 50 and win a few more chips surpassing Jordan.
