While the Western conference final was closed between Oklahoma City Thunder and Minnesota Timberwells on Tuesday night, a team that was watching from home was Denvar Nagets.
Denver was abolished by Thunder in the second round of the playoff as he suffered a blow defeat in Game 7 in Oklahoma City on Sunday.
With disadvantages, Nagets’ campaign came to a disappointing end and has some important decisions in Offsen.
Of course, one of the decisions that they choose to fill their vacancy in the event of head coaching after they are selected to set Michael Malon late in the season.
Michael Malon, head coach of Denver Nagets, congratulated the Center Nikola Jokik (15) in the fourth quarter against Washington Wizards at Ball Arena.
David Edelman did a concrete job as Danver’s interim head coach as he took him to the second round of the playoffs, where he reached the final of the Western Conference, only a game came away, but could see the nuggets elsewhere and could hire a new head coach.
While Nagets would decide to make it at Offsen, his fans were not very happy with former coach Malon on Tuesday night, as after his comment after his comment about the MVP race after game 1 of the Western conference final.
“(Shai Gilgas-Alexander) showed why he is MVP,” Malon said after the incredible performance of Shai in Sports 1.
"[Shai] Showed why he is MVP."

Malon’s comments did not sit well with Nagets’ fanbase, as many people expressed their disappointment after her comments about Shai.
“Jokik gave him a ring,” A fan posted on X,
“Lol. Jokik must be MVP,” Another fan commented,
“No wonder he was fired,” Another post said,
“Mythological hatred clock,” Posted another fan,
Of course, Malon supported Nikola Jokik to win the MVP this season, which was with Nugets during his time, but when he fired him, it seems that Malon has changed his mind, which could be due to difficult emotions.

Either way, both Shai and Jokic had incredible weather which made him the MVP finalist this season, but it is clear that the fans of Nagets are not happy with their former coaches after their comments on Tuesday night.
