Honestly hilarious that the biggest shit talker on the Nuggets is our coach 
Drunk Jamal is close 2nd

He so clearly was bagging it in those games. Wonder how much he made from it? I'm still stunned at how stupid that sports book was to let someone win over a million from a bad performance by a nobody bench player.
You might be onto something.
I was largely not blaming Bud Black for all these shenanigans but I’ve no idea what he was thinking using Kyle Freeland as a pinch runner.
What a moron. If the reported winnings on those bets are being accurately reported, he threw away his entire NBA career for not a lot more money than when I was working at Elitch’s.
The money reported was on his accounts. No one knows what he made from his no show efforts but bettors made millions of of him so if he got a share it's significant money. And dude was making like 400k with no assurance he'd be back next year. Yeah he was dumb to do something so brazen but with a brother on a max deal and having made a couple mil already I'm sure he's going to be fine financially.
Black isn't the root cause of every issue but he's absolutely a moron and a bad manager. If they fired him they'd still suck but he deserves to be fired.

Jontay himself made like 20k from the bets he placed. But he let someone know about a slight injury he had and had them bet a parlay with an under in it that would’ve net over a million dollars.

Yep, the entire org from base coaches to ownership need changed.
Until that happens, we are f***ed
I think it's more comprehensive than that. He's a known bettor than had made bets through accomplices that got him the ban since those were on NBA games. They didn't even address the blatant efforts to not pick up stats in the games in question. Surely he did it in other games that didn't get the attention of the integrity folks. He and his accomplices probably netted millions beyond the obvious million dollar win. As with all cheating they got greedy or they could have made more for longer.

Sorry should’ve said through his own accounts he made 20k allegedly. The big issue that seems to be the most tangible of his was the letting one of his guys know he was hurt and then dogging that game so he’d hit the under.
I like Schmidt. He’s run the Rockies draft/development forever it seems like and has done a good job there. But yes the guy above him needs to go before any substantial steps toward actual contention can happen.
Schmidt gets no free pass either.
Every single person involved with decision making for the Rockies needs to go. Owners, front office, analytics, scouts, coaches. All of them.
Especially the owners, though. They have cultivated a loser culture and it needs to be cut out like a tumor.

Does the video also show the pilot asking the coach if he likes movies about gladiators?
Analytics guys doing the laundry, coaches flying the planes.
Next we'll find out Charlie Blackmon has to sweep up underneath every seat at Coors Field after every home game.
Disappointing that the Leafs-Bruins game largely overlaps with the Nuggets. It’s an obvious choice for me which to watch but still sucks given it’s the series I have the most interest in outside watching the Avs get shellacked
Well at least Embiid got his MVP before his glass body totally broke

Really taking the Despicable Me sponsorship seriously. I hope he did it on his own, and not because of some contractual obligation.
Watching the NBA in Canada is annoying. Apparently TSN thinks I should just watch post game nonsense from the Knicks game instead of the start of the Nuggets
