During his media session on Friday, Denver Nuggets head coach Michael Malone ripped the NBA for not allowing coaches to bring their family members to the bubble.

Only players and refs are allowed to bring family to the bubble, something Malone is not happy about:

The NBA's baby section stole the show on Thursday during the Boston Celtics-Toronto Raptors game. It's great to see players playing in front of their families again.

However, coaches should have the right to see their families, too. It's pretty strange the NBA, which has done so many things right in the bubble, decided not to allow coaches to bring their loved ones.

On top of missing his family, Michael Malone is trying to figure out a way to get his team ready for Game 2 against the Los Angeles Clippers on Saturday. The Nuggets got blown out in Game 1 and many pundits, including the one and only Charles Barkley, believe Denver has no shot to beat the Clippers.

Denver was down 3-1 to the Utah Jazz in the first round before rattling off three wins in a row. Obviously, the Clippers are a much better team than the Jazz, but Nuggets supporters shouldn't completely jump ship yet.

For the Nuggets to get Game 2, Jamal Murray and Nikola Jokic will have to play better on both sides of the ball, especially Jokic, who was putrid on defense in Game 1.
