Denver Nuggets head coach Michael Malone continues to abstain from watching NBA playoff games following his team’s second-round exit at the hands of the Minnesota Timberwolves, reflecting the lingering disappointment of missing out on the opportunity to defend their title.
In an interview with Jim Rome, Malone revealed that he hasn’t been able to bring himself to watch any playoff matchups, expressing his longing to be coaching the Nuggets in the NBA Finals once again.
“I want to be there coaching the Denver Nuggets. It’s a little too raw for me right now to sit down and watch those games,” Malone said.
Malone’s reluctance to tune in to the postseason action stems from his deep-rooted desire to lead Denver back to championship contention, highlighting the emotional toll of falling short in the playoffs.
The Nuggets’ Game 7 loss to the Timberwolves left a profound impact on Malone, who is still grappling with the disappointment of not being able to guide his team further in the playoffs.
As Denver looks to bounce back stronger next season, Malone’s unwavering commitment to leading his team to championship glory underscores his dedication to the franchise and its aspirations for success.
