00:00All right, the Nuggets, of course, after chopping Michael Malone
00:03and the GM booth the other day, were back in action last night.
00:07They beat the Kings 124-116.
00:11Let's get Joker's thoughts for the first time on all the big changes.
00:16I mean, if, you know, when someone wants to wake somebody up
00:20or change their energy, that's probably what they do.
00:22You know, in my country, if someone gets fired, you're worried,
00:25it's probably you're the next.
00:26So I think it's definitely changed something.
00:29And they get the reaction of what they wanted, probably.
00:33Nicole, how long is it going to take to get over the shock of Malone getting fired?
00:38I mean, I think in this business, you need to, just because playoffs are so,
00:43like, right there, and we have two important games,
00:45so I think it needs to be quick, like, really quick.
00:48Yeah, get over it. Just get over it.
00:50They went out and won, so they're already over it.
00:53You know, listen, I heard, and I don't know if I said this yesterday,
00:56but, like, this guy has been cussing people out for 10 years
01:02and that they literally, people wanted to beat his ass.
01:07Players wanted to beat his ass.
01:09Like, they'd had enough of him, and there were players, like,
01:14that were going to literally beat his ass.
01:16Like, and I'm not kidding.
01:17Like, this guy got under their skin, and they'd had enough of it.
01:21They don't care about the ring, and honestly, they don't listen to coaches.
01:28I know you think they do.
01:30They don't.
01:31These guys make so much money.
01:33They don't listen to anybody, their wife, nobody.
01:36They don't listen to God.
01:37They don't care who the coach is.
01:40And I'll guarantee you one thing.
01:42They're not going to take any shack from some coach.
01:45This isn't high school or college basketball with some coach screaming at them
01:49and yelling at them their whole life.
01:51When you're in high school, you get, like, you remember,
01:53Bob Hurley screamed and yelled at his players, drove him nuts.
01:57Danny Hurley does the same thing at UConn.
01:59Bob Knight did the same thing.
02:01You cannot do that with pros that make hundreds of millions of dollars
02:05or even a pro that makes 30 million.
02:07They don't listen.
02:08So what they want to do is beat your ass, and one of them would.
02:13I mean, these guys are enormous, and they'd had enough of Mike Malone.
02:18They even had, did you see, I'm sure you saw,
02:21the Joker was like, he was putting the plays on the whiteboard last night.
02:25He was coaching.
02:26He was, Joker was coaching.
