Was this really necessary, Michael Malone?
The cantankerous Denver Nuggets coach was asked how hard it was to absorb a Game 7 loss in which the defending champs were up by 20 to the Minnesota Timberwolves, a seemingly innocuous query.
Malone took a second and responded, “Next question” before launching into the season being over.
“[Expletive] being up 20,” he added. “The season’s over.”
Next, he mumbled this: “Stupid-[butt] questions.”
I disagree. It’s not a bad question, and Malone may have just been really mad in general. No need to be mad at the reporter here.
Here’s the video with a WARNING: NSFW language ahead!
this is the biggest loser response I have ever seen from a coach.
Mike Malone went on a “ I told you so” tour all last year (which he deserved)
But now asking how your team blew a 20 point lead in a game 7 at home is a dumb question???— LegendOfWinning (@LegendOfWinning) May 20, 2024
