Nuggets' new coach looks like it's actually Nikola Jokic image

The Denver Nuggets played their first game since Michael Malone's firing, and they did it with David Adelman as the interim head coach.

That's how things were expected to be, of course. Even though the coaching move snuck up on everyone, the sequence that followed was logical as far as promoting Adelman.

But if you take a peak in the huddle, you might find someone else coaching.

The Kings' broadcast on Wednesday hilariously showed an image that's filled with irony given the latest coaching news.

There was Nikola Jokic, clipboard in hand, drawing up a play. That's Coach Jokic to you.

The Nuggets went on to win 124-116 as Jokic tallied another triple-double, this one a relatively tame 20-12-11.

Denver will take any victory it can get right now, so hope he gets one.
