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.
