After the hideous Brian Shaw era ended, Coach Malone was bought it to help the Denver Nuggets rebuild. Many were skeptical at first, including me, especially when the likes of Mark Jackson were available on the coaching market.
He has certainly had an up and down stretch with the Nuggets to say the least. Malone was ran out of Sacramento in unfair fashion and his disdain for the Kings is justifiable. However, some would say Malone is underachieving with Denver this season.
Despite being in the playoff hunt, the Nuggets have lost too many games in the last minute or less.
