Las Vegas - Gonna bounce on to the NBA hardwood to start the playoffs in the Rockies as Denver hosts the Los Angeles Clippers in game one. So, lets get right to the elephant in the room. The Nuggets fired Michael Malone on April 8 and David Adelman, son of Rick, was made the interim coach. Everyone was stunned with the late season pink slip, but apparently, the players didn't miss a beat. Adelman has been with the Nuggets and Malone since 2017 and is a familiar face. Denver closed the season on a 3-0 run under Adelman and should be ready to roll in the opener. We understand that the Clippers are scorching hot, winning eight in a row, but we looked at the teams they beat (Mavericks, Pelicans, Spurs, Rockets, Kings and Warriors) and we were not very impressed. Always an issue for a team playing in the Mile High air so we'll throw a few bucks at the Nuggs.
