My Analysis
Somewhere he is smiling ear to ear.
Fired Denver head coach Mike Malone is sitting in his house saying to himself, "I told you so. The team you gave me this year was going nowhere."
The man did everything he could to motivate them but to no avail, it inevitably got him fired.
And now you have a child running the team who has absolutely no fucking clue what he is doing and it shows.
His team would be down 3-0 if not for Kawhi doing "unlike" Kawhi things in game one but hey, Kawhi is allowed to have a bad game every once in a while.
However, the 2-time Finals MVP has been absolutely unstoppable in games 2 and 3 and the Nuggets have no answer for him or this LA team right now.
Their best player Nikola Jokic is being defended by the one guy in the league equipped to slow him down, LA big man Ivica Zubac.
He has held him to 26 points in game one and 23 in game 2. That isn't going to get it done.
Besides Jokic, Jamal Murray is playing banged up, Michael Porter Jr is playing banged up, Aaron Gordon is playing banged up.
Behind the scenes Russell Westbrook is complaining about his minutes and becoming the cancer to a team he is known to be.
And all you need to know about the state of the Nuggets is to watch their body language throughout game 3 which will carry over to game 4 here.
This Denver team is a dead man walking and the organization thinking, "Hey, let's put this kid David Adleman in charge" would be the answer....fuck no.
You think the Denver players are listening to this 43 year old guy in the huddles with any respect whatsoever?????
Adleman has no clue with his rotations or anything else he should do and Tyronne Lue is coaching circles around him.
Lue has to look over to their bench and just say, "Thank god that isn't Mike Malone. Thanks Denver."
The Clippers smell blood in the water and they will come even more ready to destroy this dysfunctional team and dysfunctional franchise.
This Denver team has been living on borrowed time since firing Malone and that time is up as the sand in the hour glass is quickly pouring out.
And they will be down 3-1 after another double digit win by LA.
The Clippers go to 18-3 their last 21 SU and 17-4 ATS with another dominant win.
Lay it with confidence in La La Land tonight.
Yep. No way he goes against the clips, which won for him recently.
