Patrick Beverley drops verdict on Calvin Booth amid Denver Nuggets Game 6 win.<\/p>\n

The Denver Nuggets<\/a> top brass sent shockwaves through the NBA community when they fired head coach Michael Malone and general manager Calvin Booth<\/a> ahead of the postseason.<\/p>\n

At first, the decision confused fans, but it was later revealed that Malone and Booth reportedly had an ongoing feud.<\/p>\n

For starters, Malone reportedly suspected that Booth had planted a \u2018spy\u2019 in his coaching staff<\/a>, which further destroyed their relationship.<\/p>\n

Heading into Game 6, the Nuggets faced a 3-2 deficit and a chance to be sent home. However, the Nuggets forced a Game 7 in the second-round series<\/a>.<\/p>\n

While Nikola Jokic<\/a> and Jamal Murray<\/a> combined for 54 points in the 119-107 win, it was the effort from the bench that truly helped the Nuggets tie the series.<\/p>\n

Speaking of which, a plethora of NBA fans were impressed with what Julian Strawther did in Game 6, including Patrick Beverley<\/a>, who also dropped praise on ex-Nuggets GM Calvin Booth.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis why Denver\u2019s GM was mad. Strawther is hooping,\u201d Beverley tweeted on X<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Pat Bev claims he now understands Booth\u2019s point of view in his feud with Malone. After all, coach Malone wouldn\u2019t have trusted a sophomore guard to play 20 minutes in an elimination game.<\/p>\n

According to data provided by Sofascore<\/a>, Strawther earned a 7\/10 rating as he put up 15 points and 2 rebounds in just 20 minutes of playing time.<\/p>\n

\"A.<\/p>\n

Strawther reached this number by shooting 50% from the field and an amazing 75% from the three-point line.<\/p>\n

Such shooting efficiency in an elimination game against the No. 1 seed in the conference is bound to give immense confidence to the 23-year-old.<\/p>\n

All things considered, Booth may have found the Nuggets an underrated player with the 29th overall pick in the 2023 NBA Draft.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Patrick Beverley drops verdict on Calvin Booth amid Denver Nuggets Game 6 win.
