Fail Jackson coach. He was the hottest name and how could [franchises X, Y & Z] pass on him! George Karl never got them past the first round. Except that one time. Brian Shaw destroyed them. <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"><p>Denver was basically a schematic disaster on both sides of the ball this season.

That team is counting down to the end of the season: http://www.denverpost.com/dempsey/ci_27618378/hey-cancun-here-come-nuggets He deserved to be fired for enabling that alone.
Management ruined this team...the moment their GM left to go to Toronto and Karl was fired, it's been all downhill since then.

Nuggets won't ever amount to anything until the owner fires the President of the team. Josh Kroenke is one of the very worst executives in sports, has run both the Nuggets and Avalanche into the ground and his daddy is who hired him and needs to fire him.
Josh just needs a chance and he will definitely have a 55 win + conference finals season at some point. He is just like Isaiah Canaan.

And he'll probably get his chance since he's like in his mid-30's and his daddy owns the joint. But...it might be many years before he figures out how to treat basketball people and surround himself with great basketball minds so they can build something good in Denver. He'll probably have to get his ego bashed and mashed by many seasons of losing before he loses his stubborn streak.
