MIKE “LAKERS DADDY” MALONE
he really seems to be an outstanding coach his rotations and timeouts are always on point.
Sure he has the 2 time MVP Joker and All Star Caliber Murray but Malone has to start getting a lot more credit the same way Pop was given his flowers for the spurs dynasty.
We are a long way from there but it definitely seems like Denver has a Spurs like trio with Joker, Jamal and Malone the way San Antonio had Duncan, Ginobili and Pop.

how did you feel about the WHOSE YOUR DADDY chants from the fans?? It seemed to be in great fun and most people say they got a kick out of it.
Should the “Whose Your Daddy” nickname for Mike Malone stick??

I think beating your regular season win total is a decent way to judge a coach cause Vegas can generally access the talent on your team well. Since 14’ he’s beaten his win total all but once.
Also imo beating the jazz in the bubble was a huge coaching feat. Jazz basic created a completely new offense that became the #1 in the west the following season and malone figuring it out well enough was commendable
