Michael Malone had an unnecessarily NSFW response to a question after Nuggets’ Game 7 loss

“[Expletive] being up 20. The season’s over.”

Was this really necessary, Michael Malone?

The cantankerous Denver Nuggets coach was asked how hard it was to absorb a Game 7 loss in which the defending champs were up by 20 to the Minnesota Timberwolves, a seemingly innocuous query.

Malone took a second and responded, “Next question” before launching into the season being over.

“[Expletive] being up 20,” he added. “The season’s over.”

Next, he mumbled this: “Stupid-[butt] questions.”

I disagree. It’s not a bad question, and Malone may have just been really mad in general. No need to be mad at the reporter here.
