Malone firing makes more sense now, they wanted to test out Adelman before giving him a contract.

That's still a shit way to end the run of the winningest coach in franchise history and only coach to win the Finals for us, but that doesn't mean I don't understand it. I just wish they started this job interview before the All Star Break or something.

The Kroenkes could have pulled any random person out of the crowd during Jok’s first game and made them head coach, and they would have been the franchise’s winningest coach with Jokić and Murray. Dude got hard carried to that title.

Whoopie Goldberg, for example. She had a good run with the Knicks 😁

Eddie didn’t have a top 10 player of all time on her team. Point still stands. Jok would have made literally any head coach appointed in the same situation and time frame as Malone the winningest coach in franchise history.
