Michael Malone on what went wrong for the Nuggets in Game 6, and how he expects the Nugs to respond in Game 7 after Anthony Edwards and Timberwolves embarrassed Denver in front of the Minnesota home crowd.
The most problematic thing was Murray. He didn't get them into the offense, he started 1-12 shooting with 3 turnovers and didn't pass to wide open teammates.
As a Nuggets fan, Jamal Murray and MPJ are easily the most frustrating, aggravating players on the team. Their lack of awareness, overall carelessness and complete lack of shot making can be truly stunning at times. What the hell did I just watch?
You watched at fucking horrible game. I was sick at how much we missed. Mpj and jamal are streaky and they rely on getting hot. That hasnt been the case this series. Jamal isnt at his best with some injuries so hes a little slow and is easier to guard i think because of that. Still ant is just faster than jamal so hes had a tough series with ant and mcdaniels guarding him. Timberwolves have the defense to beat the nuggets. Created by a guy who was the gm for the nuggets. They have the depth to beat the nuggets. Im hopeful for game 7. Whoever takes this series probably wins the chip.
I don't understand how Murray and Porter miss so many shots. It seems that the team plays the best when something is on the line like Game 3, 4 . I'm sure Game 7 they will not play this bad as today.
I suppose the back and forth nature has been somewhat compelling, but it’s like Joker said, Game 1 was the only game that has been remotely competitive, the rest have been blowouts.
@@molder2233this was a great matchup for the Nuggets. Let’s not try to downplay it…no other team in this league has given them a run for their money this season like the Wolves have. They weren’t called the Best in the West for no reason. This has definitely been a great series and game 7 will be bigger than the championship game.
al po meni jamal nije problem nego malone malone je mngo dobar trener osim po pitanju jamala zasto jamal ima 40 min i skor 4/19 daj vecu minutazu drugima braun reggie jordan justin i collin svakako da ne znam bolje od trenera al kanadjanin je indisponiran protiv vuci nasmpram la
@@Yelllowchild7for a 33m player can’t show up in less than 50 percent of games and also play no defense. He’s so big for his position but soft and folds a lot
@@markuskramer8666 he much better than Murray. Bro is taking 15-20 shots, shooting 35% from the field. Other than the 2 lucky buzzer beaters vs no defence lakers.
One day you are on top of the word, and the next day you're on the bottom. This series may be the real NBA championship. I think both teams could beat the Knicks or the Celtics.
This is the Nuggets' weakness. Jokic is the only *great* player on the team. You shut him down with 2-3 bigs, this should be a good thing for your other players and easy 2s and 3s. Unfortunately the rest of the Nuggets just aren't reliable. They are a great team and complement Jokic well but when Jokic is being shut down, they just can't stand up.
@@andys3035 I definitely agree with kcp. Gordan is more reliable than Murray and porter,I also agree. Still he can have his off minutes. It is funny because while KCP is arguably the weakest starter, I believe him to be the 2nd most reliable, only behind joker.
This one thing I don't agree in today's 3pt era. When it's not falling why not drive to the basket or go closer (which is higher percentage). Nuggets insisted on shooting 3. We've seen teams doing the same. 3 after 3 even if it's not falling. They could make a difference doing other that that.
outcoached. i was expecting them to cut the 24 lead to 15 or 12 the end of 3rd and even the score on last 4 mins. nuggets was so desperate to turn that 24 to zero that 24 became 45.
Team still throwing bricks from 3pts instead of trying to score 2s. Sometimes the team play with urgency some other games they ALL play so lazy 🤡 whats going on with this team consistency? Really
Denver started off well and they had that big lead early, but Wolves caught up fast and coach Malone failed to interfere on time, thinking Denver is just gonna coast to victory like they did in game 5. Nuggets failed to dictate the narrative in this game by letting Wolves hijack the momentum early on.
I’m a clippers fan but was rooting for the Nuggets, Jokic is humble af, he had no help. Murray smh got punked and was a no show. Jokic should come to the Clippers. We’ll build around him
I definitely think they need another scorer since MPJ has been giving them nothing on offense. I love MPJ, but he s been struggling on offense for awhile. I want to see him take a jump next year. As a scorer and defender. He could be all NBA with his talent. Could you imagine how good they could be if he lived up to his potential. Like i said before maybe he s more focused on his spiritual life, which is definitely the most important thing and nothing else compares. Im proud of the way he talks about his faith and being a Christian. In that regard he's living the life GOD wants not what the world wants. Praise Jesus. Our Lord and Savior.
Mpj i think has reached his ceiling. for the 3rd highest paid nugget, his job is received pass, shoot the open 3 and drain it/cut and pull up or drive./average defense. has mastered none of these 3😂 Michael "paid for the attempt" porter jr.
Denver players are just tired, you can see after game 5 Nikola was exausted. I hope they can get a grip by sunday. Maybe they should include 2 or 3 additional players from the bench..
that's what they lost when Jeff green and the other guy left, they fill in the spot if MPJ and Jamal are shtting the floor. Even if Jokic scores 50 pts in game 7 but these 2 are wandering souls again, theres no way they will beat the wolves
Murray needs to step up and if he cant they need to bench him for someone else. Murray isnt playing well at all. we had zero people in the paint trying to get the rebounds so we lose the ball instantly when murray misses.
@@susandinosaur732 if they eased up on defense any more they'd be in a coma in the hospital. They're a hair's-breadth away from having deliberately thrown the game.
There's no heart of champion in this game 6 ,stay hungry Champ,much better to used strategy in game 3 to the game 7...they double team Jokic and murray ,the one who controlled the Rebound will Control the Game,Show your Desperation Attack on Game 7 Champ💪💪💪💪💪
now im thinking. murray always love to say he wanna be the best.... game 5 jokic is hard to surpass, that battle with the best defender will be timeless classic. murray wanna shine today, whatever it takes maybe😂 and even if its clear he cant do it. he still proceeds. leaving it all on luck and less on skills.
Malone got out coached. Simple as that. He let the huge run go on without calling a time out?! Not mixing up the lineup early on when they aren’t doing a thing?!
His inability to make in-game and halftime adjustments is just very disappointing. And I do not understand why his first guy off the bench is a 180lb 35-year-old journeyman who hardly played this season. The T-Woves want to play football- we need size in there to match them, yet Nnaji is nowhere to be seen. I know Zeke isn't great, but he is big and has six fouls to dish out. Use him.
Nuggets will win with eyes closed. They need to make open shots and they will be just fine..should be an easy win if this happens. Jokic will go for 50…lookout
Michael "paid for the attempt" porter jr. 3rd highest paid nugget. Jobs description. Catch and shoot open 3. Cut and Pull up/drive. Average defense. performance. cant shoot 3. weak cut/weak pull up/zero drives. below average defense. 2nd jamal 3rd mpj and 4th AG highest paid needs to be in reverse order.
Coach Malone speaks better than he coaches... When a team is SO irregular, is a coaching issue. ¿How come Jamal Murray and Caldaway Pope played so long? Come on!! Is he blind?
2024 NBA gave bargain sale on sweeps or gentleman sweeps. losing ticket sales for games 6 and 7. which is a couple millions the whole playoffs. i havent seen the full game to say it was rigged or something but those misses from the nuggets 20 out of 80 i think. are clearly not due to outside factors (unless their loved ones got kidnapped and ordered to miss😂)
#1question So Michael How does it feel being beaten three times in a row and being outcoached with some of those games Being played in your house? Especially because you were up by 20 Points!!! #2nd question And most important question Who is your Daddy?😗 😅🥳🤣🍾😂 I think I know, it's those guys celebrating in the background🎉🎊✨️🍻🥂🍾🍾😂💪🤣😅☝️😆🍾🥳👏🥳🤝🥳🍾✨️🥳🤣💬 Did you hear what He said at the end of the interview that they were tired.I thought that was their advantage by living in Denver. Where the altitude goes to their advantage.😅
@@creed200569yep. defense cant keep their focus on jokic because nuggets got jamal. vice versa. but....Defense Focusing on too much on Jamal is a sure lose. Defense focusing on Jokic is a coin toss. (will jamal fire up or not)
The Nuggets are being exposed. That’s the bottom line. Murray and Teletubby Jokic are out of shape all the time. Even if they win this one…they are done. Stop dreaming of dynasty. This coach is very arrogant, he needs some humbling season and this might be it. He thinks he’s won multiple championships.
Y'all got y'all tail kicked 😂😂😂 Please, stop making excuses and take it like a man. Defending champs! What a joke or what a joker. Beat by 45 in a closeout game. I hope the nuggets respond like champ's on Sunday.
Please trade Joker to the New York knicks and save him, He will be so happy there. Lots of horse race. He will be very grateful and give you many rings in his prime years to come
The wolves have our number… I’m done with this team. I can’t believe how they could let these losers beat us like that! That’s it! I’m done with this season! It’s over to me… I’m walking away. Not even gonna watch Sunday… just gonna bury my head. 😢💀
Worry about the 50 piece AE gonna serve yall Sunday worry about Jokic cant out perform AE Sunday Worry about Jamal and Mike getting handcuffs put on them Sunday Worry about yall not going back to back and getting belt to ass Worry about how the Lakers kept all yall games close and yall not being good enough to beat celtics and wemby gone clean yall next year
Coaching...... coaching was atrocious. Nepotism Malone. This dude is so overrated as a head coach. His record is garbage. If not for having the best player in the league- he would be below par. The film shows the horrific coaching.
DENVER WILL NEVER SEE THE FINALS AGAIN OVER RATED , BORINNNNNGGGG , FRAUD , GOONBALL TEAMMMMMM LOL LOL LOL LOL 45 POINTS BUT DENVER ARE THE WORLD CHUMPS LOL
As a Nuggets fan, Jamal Murray and MPJ are easily the most frustrating, aggravating players on the team. Their lack of awareness, overall carelessness and complete lack of shot making can be truly stunning at times. What the hell did I just watch?
