    Hire him NOW!! The roster is the issue with Denver, not Malone.

    NBA is such a copy cat league. One team does a wild decision and now everybody is just one upping one another.. corny as fuck

    This is abnormal. Normally, you let the season expire. They lost 4 straight with murray out while Joker putting videogame performances. Their team is trash. Malone did a lot with Jokic and a bunch of nobodies. He is no question an upgrade over Chauncey

    madness for sure. DEN problems are due to cheap ownership! Hire Malone.

    I want Jenkins. He does more with less. Malone had Jokic

    For the 2nd half of the season (so far ) the Blazers were on pace to win 48 games and have like a top 6 defensive rating in the same time span.

    That'd be on pace for like 3rd in the conference record wise. And ahead of Memphis and Denver.

    And that's with young roster, dealing with injuries, having Simons, Grant and Ayton on the roster (tho thankfully missing games).

    And we all agree the team doesn't have a "superstar" on the roster and need one.

    Maybe Chauncey isn't the "conductor" and actually has coached the team decently?

    of course, the first 41 games count as much as the last 41 games

    by the way, 18 of the 22 wins Portland has in the 2nd half of the season have come against teams with losing records

    He’s definitely the Conductor, but that term has nothing to do with coaching.

    Curious how much Golden State and the Lakers have to play for this weekend against us?

    Golden State wants to pass Denver and host the 4/5, or maybe even push for the 3. Lakers want to hold onto the 3 and keep GSW and OKC on the same side of the bracket.

    So likely, both teams will want those wins pretty badly.
