DAF, The Nuggets are in a transition period right now, the past two years they were trying to go for it all, they've backed off of that now. There seems to not be a long future for AI/Melo as teammates IMO. Unless Melo and AI both play like MVPs this year, this is probably it for them. They might not make the playoffs, but they have good players, and despite what some people say, Karl isn't a bad coach. It's just a rough patch right now for the Nuggets.
Don't worry about posting it here, people might actually respond to it instead of flaming or clowning on you if you had made a new thread.
It's all good man. I go off and rant and make long posts all the time.Originally Posted by denverairforce

LOL @ rough patch. The Nuggets' last 12 years have been a rough patch.
As much as I love AI, he's not good for this team. I'm a pretty firm believer in a system. Teams that use systems and strategy are the teams that win championships, usually. The Nuggets will never get out of the first round playing the style they play now. I don't see how they've addressed ANY of the issues leftover from last year aside from salary cap problems. We lost role players and signed new role players. We lost our best help defender. We still have ball hogs who refuse to play defense. We still don't have a legit point guard. We still have a coach who won't make his stars play better team basketball. We are going to be relying on 2 starters who have career histories of injuries. We have mediocre to poor backups for those guys. Ugh. The only way I can consider this a "transition year" is if they make a move with AI, dump Atkins, and score a real point guard. Otherwise, it's just another year where we'll score a bunch of points and get our @+%es handed to us in the playoffs.
I am just praying that Nene finally has a full season without injury. He could easily be one of the top big men in the league. At the end of the season 2 years ago, he was looking like a stud. He was slim and fit, his post game was unstopable. Then he got injured playing for Brazil over the summer, came back fat, got hurt again, sat out half the year, came back, then got the tumor 2 weeks later, was out the rest of the year. Nothing is more frustrating than hoping for this guy to come through and play up to his potential.
Kmart looked good last year. If he stayed in shape over the summer and Karl gives him more minutes, he can average 15/8 this year or better. Or not... Or a knee could give out...
Melo needs to bring some of that USAB spirit back to Denver and lead the team better. He needs to set a precedent for playing defense. He needs to continue contirbuting with rebounds and assists. This guy is an incredible passer, if only he'd do it more. Before we got AI, Melo's passing game was ridiculous. Now the two of them just fight to hold on to the ball to see who can score the most points.
JR Smith is probably the most promising player on the team right now. I'm really curious to see if they use him as a starter or keep him as the spark off the bench. Right now, I imagine the starting five to be one of these:
Nene
KMart
Melo
JR
AI
or
Nene
Kmart
Melo
AI
Atkins
OK, sorry for all that. I haven't talked NBA with anybody for a while so I had to get that off my chest, haha.

[h2]Bird Hates Using The Phone?[/h2]
Sep 12, 2008 3:49 PM EST
Many people are still wondering whether or not the Pacers' Larry Bird will be able to handle complete control of basketball operations because he despises using the phone, according to Indianapolis Star.
Bird has swung a few moves this summer with both Toronto and Portland despite his distaste for talking on the phone.
"You're right, I'm pretty short on the phone," Bird said back in late March.
David Morway, Indiana's general manager, has helped fill some of the void left by Bird's shortness by being very accessible.

"You know, I was frustrated," said Jefferson. "But now I'm excited. People misconstrued that I was unhappy going to Milwaukee. Man, I was unhappy about leaving the only team I had been a part of. I was the last one standing from the team that went to the Finals, the guys that won three straight division championships, the guys that made the Nets respectable -- and respectable for a long time. I didn't want to go. But it wasn't about Milwaukee."
Damn, Im gonna miss ya RJ...good luck in Milw.

Jay-Z Finally Talks About Stevenson Dis
Sep 12, 2008 4:21 PM EST
imageRapper Jay-Z has finally discussed his involvement in the feud between LeBron James and DeShawn Stevenson when the Cavaliers and Wizards battled in the playoffs this spring, according to Washington Post.
"I had no intention to talk about the DeShawn Stevenson thing," Jay-Z said in an interview with Vibe. "I seen him beatin' the [expletive] out of LeBron, and he really couldn't do nothing. I really wanted to inspire [LeBron]. I sent him the ["Blow The Whistle (freestyle)"]. The song wasn't to be released."
"I sent him the song to get him amped up. I do [expletive] like that. I hit him on the BlackBerry all the way through the playoffs. There's a big trail of e-mails that we have where I'm almost like a coach on the sidelines for him 'cause...that's my little brother! I'm giving him advice, even outside of 'Take the ball to the elbow and shoot.' The psychology of what's going on: That's my role in his life."
And people really believe Lebron is not on his way to Brooklyn
