Michael Malone on Darvin Ham: 'Hopefully he'll be around there for a long time because he deserves to be'
Michael Scotto: Michael Malone: “I think Darvin Ham is a hell of a coach. That’s not an easy job. I think Darvin does it with class. He’s a good man, good coach, and I wish him all the best. Hopefully, he’ll be around there for a long time because he deserves to be.” pic.twitter.com/PJsDU6qfMF

Michael Malone on how the Nuggets have played so far:
“I think there’s so much room for improvement. It was great to see us make threes tonight…that’s an area where we struggled.”
Said the Nuggets need to be way better against the T’Wolves next round. – 12:45 AM

And you gotta love Michael Malone putting his timeouts in his pocket at the end of games. He knows he has an elite two man game in Murray and Jokic. A timeout only helps the opponent set a defense. A lethal end of game combination for Denver. – 12:41 AM

Crazy that @kevinwildes has more confidence in the Nuggets inevitability tonight than… Michael Malone.
Trotting KCP back out there + playing Jamal big minutes doesn’t seem like the move from a coach that looks at this game/series as a fait accompli, but what do I know???

The Lakers just spammed four LeBron-Davis pick and rolls and scored easily on every one of them. LeBron has five assists. Michael Malone takes a rage timeout and immediately starts lamenting the lack of rotation, particularly from the weak side – 10:51 PM

Austin Reaves was called for a shooting foul on a Jamal Murray three. Darvin Ham is challenging with 9:35 in the first quarter, which means they must feel good about this being overturned. – 10:10 PM
