Take it easy man. Some people here are just happy to see the other teams lost. A little bit pathetic, isnt it? I am a big AI fan and good to see AI is flourishing with the Nuggets. Especially, it seems AI is bringing LEADERSHIP to the Nuggets. Yes, LEADERSHIP from AI is a little bit of surprise. I like what AI said after the loss to the Hornets. AI didnt say he's tired because of travelling mess, b2b game and playing with 7 stiffs. He said "There's no excuses". BTW, who's Diawara/Kleiza? They are terrible. They cant finish most layups/dunks. Send them back to NBDL.
Trust me, I'm laid back on this whole thing. I just wanted to make sure that before some people started celebrating they realized that not one person from our opening day starting lineup has played the last 3 games and it's been a SERIOUS downgrade at all positions but one. Kleiza's struggling right now. Last year he was solid, he just came in, played D and hustled. This year he's trying to do more than he's capable of. Great 9-12th guy on the bench, but he needs to return to his roots. As for Diawara, I'm REALLY fond of him. He's struggled the last few games, but he's a solid player. I view him as a much cheaper Trenton Hassel. He's a tremendous defender and, up until a few weeks ago, was solid (but not spectacular) from 3.
