Mark Kiszla calls out Karl, Nuggets (again)...

Dear Mark,

I'm a longtime reader and fan, and just want to thank you for finally calling out what a horrific job George Karl has done with this team. He seems to be getting a free pass from everyone else (notably his ex-ESPN colleagues), which is unacceptable.

While certainly any team that takes on new players in mid-season will have an adjustment period, the Nuggets have been beyond an embarrassment. If we miss the playoffs, I’ll look back to those losses to the likes of New York, Atlanta, Charlotte, Portland, New Orleans, Dallas sans Nowitzki, etc.

Thanks for keeping tabs on the Nugs!

All best,

Andy


Sound familiar? Above is an email I sent to the Denver Post's Mark Kiszla in reaction to an article he wrote about George Karl...in February of last year! In addition to his own editorial, Mark printed my email as his lead letter in that Sunday's paper.

Lost in the hullabaloo over Karl's "lawyer" emailing me and the subsequent, overwhelming reaction, I wasn't able to mention Mark's most recent commentary on Karl in his Tuesday column. Mark has been putting the heat on Karl for a while now, and deserves a lot of credit for doing so. Unfortunately for us Nuggets fans, Mark is starting to sound like a broken record.

For anyone who thinks the local press has been soft on Karl, I urge you to give Mark's columns on the subject a read. Let's just hope Karl's "lawyer" doesn't threaten him, too!

I'm fine with your complimenting Kizla for giving Karl tough treatment, but I'd like this entry a lot better if it ended with the statement, "Kizla's writing this sort of article ALMOST makes up for the absolutely horrific piece of garbage he wrote about JR Smith after his car accident last year."

Yeah, Kiszla's a moron. He accused JR of flashing gang signs after hitting 3 pointers when he was just putting up his 3 fingers to signify the 3. Don't overglorify his crap writing just because he agrees with you one point. It is a relief that somebody is calling our Karl though, unfortunately it's Kiszla.

STIFF LIST (as of 2/7 by Andrew Feinstein)

1. THE NUGGETS AT HOME
How is it possible that a Nuggets team with this much talent can be 7-5 at home?! Things have gotten so bad that fans are clamoring for J.R. Smith to return.

2. CARMELO ANTHONY
Kobe Bryant plays through any and all ailments. Melo uses any and ailments as an excuse not to play.

3. KEVIN LOVE
Just when the T'Wolves are looking better, Love stomps on Luis Scola and lands himself a two-game suspension.

4. CHARLOTTE BOBCATS
The 'Cats have lost 11 straight and are now 3-21 ... in the Eastern Conference! This is what happens when you let an underwear salesman with a Hitler mustache run your team.

5. MIKE BROWN
Dr. Bunsen Honeydew (Google it!) got himself a one-game suspension for making contact with a referee.
