Zero complaints. A full team effort. Didn't get an A+ game from Jokic/Murray but both guys were solid. You go into a road playoff game up 2-0 and you expect some pushback. We all know Malone can rally these guys to come back in a series and never give up .. if he can actually pull off the sweep I'll be impressed. Gobert/ANT/Towns showed up tonight but the Nuggets just kept going. Malone has had a hell of a series. Can't complain about any real decisions he's made other than having Bruce guard Ant.

Talk about the free throw disparity, you idiot coach Honestly look at the posters that have talked about Malone negatively this series for any reason .. and you'll see who has the agenda and who not to take seriously IMO. Like 98% of the fanbase is ready to watch him get canned if we disappoint. Not only has he not hurt us but he's actually been pretty great this series.

Did you forget about keeping the starters in way too long in game 1? Including putting them BACK into a 30 point game after he pulled them out?

I would rather have Nick Nurse or David Adelman as the coach of this team than Malone

I haven't. that kind of hysterical behaviour lingers around like a bad fart. not even Thibs or Scott Skiles would have done that.

Talk about the free throw disparity, you idiot coach He hinted at it to start the presser, he said this was the 1st time a player has had a triple double in the playoffs with 0 ft attempts, and he held up a zero sign with his hand to his forehead

Malone had to be convinced, repeatedly, to play this guy. Reminder that in one offseason Calvin Booth got KCP, Bruce Brown, Christian Braun, DeAndre Jordan, Ish Smith, Peyton Watson, Ismael Kamagate and Collin Gillespie. And yes I am including Ish and DAJ because they've been fantastic from a veteran leadership perspective. ...and just as important didn't waste a roster spot on the oft injured and overrated defender in PJ Dozier. Unlike Tim, Calvin knows how to build a championship roster.

Gobert/ANT/Towns showed up tonight but the Nuggets just kept going. Malone has had a hell of a series. Can't complain about any real decisions he's made other than having Bruce guard Ant. I loved how the Nuggets didn't force Murray as a scorer tonight. It would have been so easy after last game but the Wolves switched up the defense and you could see bigs stepping up to give him less space and Murray just continued to manage the game. Nuggets had a great game plan for this game. Players executed it. T-Wolves pushed back and they have some talent so it is what it is. If they don't fold next game I'd expect a very tough out. If guys wanna go home than we should put it away pretty easily. It'll be a big test for Finch. IMO the most impressive thing about Malone's career so far is that down 1-3 in two series in the bubble he somehow got guys to give a s**t. We saw during the Melo era that when your on the ropes it's easy to just mail it in and call it quits. That to me is where coaching truly matters. Wolves are down 3-0 .. will they wanna atleast tire us out and force us to 6 games or will they just want it to end?

Including putting them BACK into a 30 point game after he pulled them out? Welcome to the playoffs. Nuggets have had tons of rest. Jokic coasted half the season. Scooter mentioned it but game 1 the conditioning looked off for multiple guys. When Malone pulled that s**t in the regular season it was silly. Could have destroyed our season at any moment because of a game in January. Brutal. Hard to argue/complain about it in the playoffs. He set the tempo. Didn't matter the score. All it's done is lead to the Nuggets being up 3-0. Probably wouldn't change anything if he sat them but who knows maybe the Nuggets take there foot off the pedal a little bit. He's coaching for his job right now and the Nuggets look like there standing behind that so I don't know how you fault anything he's done so far.

Because it's just like the people who refuse to ever criticize Jokic. They have agendas and can't ever see things from an unbiased lens. I've been hard on Malone his entire tenure. He's been phenomenal so far. The way he's managing the rotation WITH major pieces being in foul trouble has been great. The Wolves suck but they still had good enough performances from Ant to win a game. Malone has them locked in late in games.

Like your predetermined to have a take no matter the outcome and your just looking for a way to argue it. Gun to my head? I'm guessing I'll be on the fire Malone train in the offseason because outside of a ring or a tough out in the WCF it'll just be time for a new voice but 3 games into the playoffs? He's basically been perfect. He's obsessed with the details and keeping the Nuggets competitive despite being much better than the other team. Look at the Celtics tonight .. dropped a game vs the Hawks. Wolves are a mess but anytime you get a performance like they did from your big 3 and it's an impressive win. Especially when it doesn't take Murray/Jokic going nuclear. All it does speak to Jokic's greatness that a 20/12/11 game is a B+ lmao

Many here talk about selling the farm for Luka - but if a major shakeup occurs, then sell the farm for Ant, not Luka.
However - I don’t expect that to happen because this team looks excellent.
Jokic out with four fouls, and bench surrenders zero ground.
Didn’t take a “Thanos” game from Jokic or Murray to win it. Very proud.
Close this on Sunday!

If you were going to bet some money ... 90% of the Nuggets fanbase will have complaints at some point this playoffs will Malone. Justified too. Let it happen. You show your agenda when you b***h about Malone in a 3-0 series where he's done exactly what was needed. His only flaw this series was what? Playing Jokic and some starters some extra minutes in a season where everybody's basically coasted at some point or another.. you want him to play Watson when everything were doing is working? .. wait until we actually need Watson and he doesn't make the choice and chooses Green when he's killing us lol Green's been fine this series.

Way better fit with Jokic. He's got some serious upside defensively as well with the right team.
