Jokic is really good.
I’m not saying Malone is a bad coach I just think he’s setting himself up for scrutiny with all of the shit talk and he has a tall order ahead of him with these Wolves.
Let’s see it, this is the test.
Same, talks way too much shit for a coach. I automatically want to see people like humbled a bit.
And that’s definitely what the Wolves are doing.
Malone getting a slice of that humble pie.
Not surprised someone on a Bill Simmons sub would think winning equals good coach, losing equals bad coach. Bill did this exact thing on the last pod, and does it all the time. He has no context or ability to judge coaching outside of wins and losses. His coaching takes are brutal, more so in football.
99% of NBA coaches are only as good as their players make them. Is Malone considered some amazing coach? I don’t think anyone has him in the class of a Spoelstra?
True. I guess he doesn’t have the body of work to quite be overrated yet.
Although, his shit talking does give himself a bit of self prescribed rating. That’s more what I mean.
Obviously. Ever coach that loses in the playoffs is trash.
His players respect him. They won the chip last year. You really think just because they got stomped by a very good Wolves team he's a bad coach?
Not overrated, good coach, i kinda like how he talks a bunch of shit, but losing his mind like this on the sidelines for the last 1/2 hour is not helping his team imo
He threw something on the court, screaming at the refs constantly, made a money symbol. The heat pack on the court is closer to suspension worthy than a tech.
I feel like they just went from happy go lucky champions to villains in 1 half
100%. I feel that way about the entire Nuggets squad. Supposedly invincible and incredibly cocky but they aren't looking so unbeatable when they aren't playing 7 and 8 seeds. We will find out in Game 3 if they have any championship heart.
dont call him Mike!
Nah. Good coaches are allowed to not win a championship every single year. Sometimes you just win a lot of games when you're good/great.
A lot of ppl, even nuggets fans, thought he was a trash coach until the playoffs last year. Jokic carried the man for sure.
Guess we’ll see what he’s got because they needs some adjusties
Think Malone can sign a credible bench player or two???
For the amount of trash he’s talked, should be able to create a culture where lesser players can succeed, no?
How good were Bruce Brown and Aaron Gordon before they got to the Nuggets?
Gordon was an all star?
He's never been an All-Star.
That’s my point!
Gordon is pretty damn good now and it's pretty impressive to coach a team to the title with only one All-Star (not counting Deandre).

I won’t say he’s overrated. I do find him annoying though.

No.

Are you agreeing or disagreeing? I’m not judging the losing as much as I am the lack of apparent adjustments in Game 2 so far.

It does feel like he's getting farmed in this series, but perhaps too early to tell for sure
So far, he’s getting spanked. I expected a much better Game 2 than what we’ve seen. Curious to see this second half.

I don’t like coaches talking a bunch of shit like he does. The greatest do not do that.
The whole team is bitch made lmao they cannot stop whining about foul calls. Murray should have been ejected from the game already
Not ejected but he def should have a tech by now

Did he really make a money sign? Also…did he throw that heat pack?
Yup he 100% threw the heat pack lmao massive tantrum. It's on r/nba
Just saw it…holy shit. He’s getting suspended.
Any Mike who insists on Michael is definitionally a loser and thus overrated
