Michael Malone won an #NBA title two years ago.
Denver’s reluctance in free agency and the trade market meant core pieces of that team weren’t replaced when Bruce Brown and KCP left. To replace them, the #Nuggets relied on developing young players. Braun and Watson are developing nicely, but the lack of depth shows when players are hurt (especially when it’s Jamal Murray).
In the NBA, coaches know they’re hired to be fired, but Michael Malone didn’t deserve to be axed like this.
Goddamn. Nuggets firing the head coach and GM before the playoffs. #NBA
Whoa. The Nuggets just fired Coach Malone. It's the last week of the regular season. The team is number 4 in the West but is currently on a 4-game losing streak. #NBA

As Luka returns to AAC, Mavs’ tragic trade has become disaster of Babe Ruthian proportions
Luka Doncic returns to Dallas for the first time in a different uniform, with his trade to LA looking worse and worse for Nico Harrison and the Mavericks.

The NBA has said it is "exploring" the creation of a professional basketball league in Europe, but the plans remain vague and raise many questions. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/sports/2025/04/08/basketball/nba/nba-eyeing-europe/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #basketball #nba #nba #euroleague
Zach Lowe came back at a perfect time. Before the NBA playoffs and during this weird time where Stephen A. Smith is fantasizing publicly about punching LeBron James.
NBA media has been cooked for a while now lol. #NBA
Tonight's post comes from #BoP (my partner) -- which movie did you like more:
1) Space Jam 2
or
2) Uncle Drew
I have just asked Jordan this v. important question, so will report back soon.
Joe Simons on Blazers Wrap-Up:
"People in bars watching us with the sound down - they have no idea what we're saying. [very enthusiastically] COOPER FLAGG! WILL HE BE A BLAZER NEXT YEAR? WE'LL LET YOU KNOW WHEN WE COME BACK FROM BREAK!"
120-109 Portland defeats San Antonio.
At the end, Chris Paul committed a foul, which Chauncey didn't care for. So Chris got fouled instantly when he touched the ball. This being contrary to basketball logic, Chris stood there, mouthing the word, "Stunned." Chauncey was all about, "Hey, you fouled my guy with a hand to the back. Don't be griping about this one."
Chris hit 1 of 2. It didn't matter.
115-106 Blazers. Castle is at the line for 2. Hit the first.
Toumani Camara is wearing a headband, inviting Carmelo comparisons.
Carmelo's were flashier. Tou's looks like basic black. Melo was better at O. Tou is better at D.
The Spurs cut it to 2, but Tou hits a 3. Then a steal & 2 more. 1:18 to go, and the Blazers got the ball back. Sharpe is fouled as he tried a layup. 58.9 to go. Shooting FT's.
113-106
86-75 Blazers after 3.
54-45 Portland over San Antonio at the half. Dalano Banton leads all scorers with 14.
Toumani Camara has taken more charges than 21 NBA teams.
Blazers 33 Spurs 18 after 1 in Portland.
At 4:04 of the 1st quarter, it's 22-13 Blazers over Spurs.
Good job there Lakers. #NBA
