When the Memphis Grizzlies fired the winningest head coach in their history with nine games left in this NBA regular season, the move was viewed as peculiar but not 12-alarm peculiar, because it was, you know…Memphis. They do a lot of goofy stuff.
But the Denver Nuggets blowing out Michael Malone,
Who two seasons ago led them to the only championship in their 50-plus year existence,
With three games left before the playoffs,
With the Nuggets in fourth place in the Western Conference,
In part because he and the GM didn’t get along,
And then *also* dumping the GM,
I mean,
That is weird.
It is also a little bit understandable and a big bit stupid (stupid in the sense of self-defeating, perhaps literally). I’m not crazy about this becoming a league-wide thing, because, at the risk of repeating myself, it’s a big bit stupid.
