The Denver Nuggets made one of the most stunning moves of the NBA season on Tuesday by firing head coach Michael Malone, a drastic organizational change that comes within just a stone's throw of the start of playoffs.
The Nuggets are currently sitting in the No. 4 seed in the West with a 47-32 record but have dropped their last four games during a pivotal playoff push. Still, that's arguably not enough reason to clean house and get rid of Malone along with GM Calvin Booth at an extremely precarious time in the season.
