When you're wrong, you're wrong. I, was wrong. Mike Malone was a good hire for the Nuggets.

        When Croenke and management decided to hire Mike Malone I hated it. Guy just got fired from the Kings! The Kings suck! If he can't hack it on the shitty team that constantly threatens to relocate, how the hell can he handle this rebuild undertaking? Well two things from that thought  process become clear : 1. Mikey Malones got some coaching chops, and more importantly: 2. Boogie is a young prodigy at driving a coach off a team the  likes of which we haven't seen since Kobe or Me7o.

I went to Nuggets-Hornets yesterday. (Sat 4th row behind the hoop, nbd. No, seriously no big deal. The tickets were $28 on stubhub.) What I watched was a young Faried-less Nuggets team beat a very good hornets team. Now the jury is still out for me as to whether Faried is actually a good player or not but beside that point this was an impressive win. Mudiay played extremely physical on the smaller Kemba Walker, forcing him through a hail of screens. Gallinari was hot early and Malone made a great coaching change when Cody Zeller was absolutely roasting (never in my life thought I'd type that) Jokic in the post, Switched Nurkic onto him with Arthur to help out.

Team is obviously a far way off with fighting for a tail end of a playoff spot, but Mudiay looked great and have to hope he can get some chemistry to grow with Faried. Team is at least trending up finally.

Sidenote- never has one 7'2" man who has to wrap his warhammer around his leg to ball, ever looked so fresh.
