Man, I just want to know how many games the Nuggest havent allowed a 30+ quarter? Sonics scored 126 in regular and 70 in 1st half!? Jesus Christ! I think Sonics are last in offensive rating. I would like to see the Warriors go to playoffs. The Nuggest just dont deserve to go to playoffs.
And this team is top 10 on Hollinger defensive efficiency charts. I know pace is a factor but there is something seriously flawed there. You don't just routinely hand out 30+ pt qtrs to the bottom feeders of the league when you're fighting for your playoff lives.
Half of your statement is right. Camby is overrated as all hell. However, both Carter and K-Mart are good to great defenders. Najera is solid. The rest suck. Problem is, as Kelly has pointed out repeatedly, we're inconsistent. When we want to, we can allow ~88 points per 100 possessions (which I know we held the Cavs to at least once this season). Unfortunately, there are games like last night where we give up ~118 per 100. You guys are going to laugh, but I swear to God, reading the Nugs boards right now is like listening to a battered spouse. "Yeah, he/she lit me on fire once, but he/she said they loved me". I think all of us are ready for this season to be over.
They also routinely blown 20pt lead to bottom feeders only to lose the game(Kings,Bucks,Bulls,etc..).
I wouldn't say it's bad defense by one single player or a lack of defensive skills, but rather a flawed system. Karl doesn't have the slightest clue as to what he is doing right now. I want to see anyone disagree with the fact that JVG, with their current squad, could have this team battling for home court. He might have his problems with offense, but considering their offensive personnel, it wouldn't really matter. He would instill great team defense in that team, and at the very least, force trades with the rockets to get some of his old favs (Luther Head for Smith sounds good.. ha). Kidding aside, they have to shake things up next year. Change something. Although, to be honest, I'd rather have them at the bottom of the seedings than battling us for a top spot.
The people who are hoping for JVG to coach this team, are u guys kidding me! JVG's head will explode from all the knuckle heads on this team, he would not last a month there.
I think Avery Johnson could be a good fit for the Nuggets. Whatever the case, 1st round loss, or missing playoffs totally, Karl needs to be let go.
Dude, they're un-bearable. Any time the Nugs are on national TV, I watch that feed. Hell, sometimes we get the NBATV feed of a game and it's the opponents announcers and I'll watch that until Comcast realizes it and blacks it out again. I can't stand them. The only announcing duo that's worse is Boston's.
Tuned into a Nuggets name and thought they were one sided, then bland and uninformative on top of that. "What are these guys talking about?" popped up in my mind a couple times. And that was just a random without any pre-conceived notions. Kinda similar to the reaction when you get a woman announcer in game, how it just doesnt "feel right" for some reason
