VIDEO: Nuggets Coach Michael Malone Calls Out Team Following Blowout Loss To The Knicks

Last night, coach Michael Malone was unhappy during the Nuggets’ game. He called out the team’s effort in their embarrassing loss to the New York Knicks.

I mean, I can’t blame Malone for being frustrated. The Denver Nuggets are supposed to be a top team in the NBA, and they just got completely demolished by the Knicks. It’s not like the Knicks are some powerhouse team, but they managed to beat the Nuggets.

Malone didn’t hold back in his post-game interview either and this is what he had to say;

“F— that man, no. No, we’re not flushing,” Malone said in response to a reporter’s question. “You don’t flush when you get embarrassed, you don’t flush when you gave up 145 points, you don’t flush when you didn’t play hard, didn’t play with effort, physicality, I’m not flushing anything.”

The Knicks led by 12 points after the first quarter, 23 at halftime and by many as 30 on a night the team shot a sizzling 60.9% from the floor. Their 45 assists matched the single-game team record set against Cleveland on Nov. 24, 1979.

New York’s 145 points marked the most scored by a visitor to Ball Arena since the Los Angeles Lakers scored 146 in an overtime win on April 10, 2022. It was the most points a visiting team had scored in a regulation game in Denver since the Phoenix Suns won 153-118 on April 16, 1991.

The loss dropped the Nuggets to a surprising 5-4 at home this season. The team tied for the second-best home mark last season at 33-8.

For now, Malone is not happy with his team’s effort. And honestly, I can’t blame him. They let the Knicks embarrass them on the court. That’s just unacceptable. Let’s hope they learn from this and come back stronger.
