Nuggets Journal: Michael Malone’s message to Michael Porter Jr. this postseason? “Let it fly”

Published Wed, 27 Nov 2024 14:20:58 GMT

Michael Porter Jr. generally doesn’t need goading.The 6-foot-10 sniper has shot well over 40% from 3-point range every season he’s been healthy. This season, he set a career-high with 7.3 looks from outside per game. With 188 3-pointers made, Porter finished five shy of the franchise record.All of which made Wednesday’s scene, as the No. 1 seed Nuggets prepared for their first-round opponent, so odd.The Nuggets were finishing up practice, concluding with 3-point shooting contests, free-throw challenges and the like. Nuggets coach Michael Malone pulled Porter aside on the near side of the gym closest to reporters and rehashed a scene from practice.The team had designed a play for Porter, but when he came off a screen and had a window to shoot, Denver’s most reliable and dangerous deep threat hesitated.“Let it fly,” Malone told Porter multiple times, emphasizing the need to seize the looks generated out of Denver’s offense. The 293 passes the Nuggets make per game (the sixth-most in t...

Blink and Blondie Punk Up Coachella

Published Wed, 27 Nov 2024 14:20:58 GMT

Blink and Blondie Punk Up Coachella: When the set times for Coachella were made public on Wednesday night, the big surprise was the inclusion of ’90s pop-punkers Blink 182 on the bill. There had been a few rumors during the week but still, their name on the schedule early on Friday evening offered quite the buzz.Casual observers could be forgiven for wondering if anyone would care. In no way, shape or form is Coachella 2023 a rock festival. Pop, hip-hop and electronic music of many shades, sure. But the previously announced bill — all three days — features very little in the way of hard rock and/or punk, and the crowd is a young one.But the thing with the modern Coachella crowd is that genres mean very little. Or at least, that’s what it feels like. To their immense credit, these attendees just want to have a great time and they’re not interested in “Breakfast Club-ing” themselves into a pigeon-hole.Blink performed on the Sahara stage, which...

At the same time, the Western Conference could easily be turned upside-down and still make sense.After so many seasons in which the Warriors were an obvious choice to win the title, these playoffs have a chance to be chaotic.But if we’ve learned one thing about the Warriors, it’s that they thrive in chaos.They live for it.“You feel it more than you see it,” Warriors guard Jordan Poole said of the intensity of the playoffs. “How ...
