It definitely isn’t Mike Malone’s fault that his roster of very bad defenders failed to somehow play good defense in the playoffs. Paul Millsap might be the best defender on that team and he’s old as the dickens.

I have to admit that I didn't think the Thunder would be much of a threat to Houston and while they are missing Westbrook they are giving the Rockets all they can handle
 
I would hope that as long as a relitigation of the decision isn't begun, occasional comments would be let stand.

Not sure what Denver's guards are supposed to on defense but I'm pretty sure Mike Malone didn't tell them they were supposed to leave their man open on the perimeter every possession.

One of the reasons I refuse to give up on Malik Monk despite him not being even remotely good his first couple of years in the league.
he's had some explosive scoring games this past season so there are flashes there no doubt. Even if he turns into a 6th man scorer off the bench for some team that's still not a bad pick considering.

The only thing separating Walt Fraizer and Chris Webber at this point as all-time "he's most likely doing this while high" color commentators is C-Webb wearing exclusively boring suits
