When two imploding teams collide...

This is a great blog. Keep it going.
I was at Pepsy Center last year when the Nuggets whooped the Suns by 30 pts. or something like that. I ma watch the game tonight on TV and I hope that the Nuggets are going to grab a win. I doubt it though. Their devence is not existing at all. I don't really see them getting any wins in the next 3-4 games.
I wonder what would be a biger emberasing: The Nuggets, not making the play-offs, or the Nuggets making it in the top 8 and getting beat up 4-0 in the first round.

SnakefromHell checks in,

Great point about Nuggets' expectations being reduced to wishing a playoffs series win. After all, we were favorites to topple the Spurs prior to the 05-06 season, and still among the "favorites", "darkhorse", "on a mission" (Stephen A. Smith), "sexy pick" to represent West.

It seems as Karl cleverly and wittingly reduces the team's expectations to avoid blame, so does everyone that cares about this team foolishly accept it.

Karl, we don't care if you don't care about the Nuggets, or detest today's players or their attitudes. We just don't want you to go down and bring the team with it. Unlike you, we care about the Nuggets.

Honestly, I don't even know why you even stick to the job when you don't care, don't like the people you work with, don't appear to like the job anymore because after Milwaukee, you're obviously already rich and doesn't care if you leave the money left on your current contract to leave this attitude, hard-to-coach team, today's players, and all the mess behind.

If you don't think this team has what it takes to win a championship, then maybe you should hand it to someone else who thinks it does.

If Phil Jackson was on this team, raise your hand who'd think the Nuggets would not be up there with the best?

My goodness! This blog is a godsend. I am a born and bred Denver native so I'm very familiar with the Nuggets being a middle of the road team since the days of David Thompson and the Horse himself.

It is very clear that the Nuggets are playing uninspired basketball (exhibited no place more clearly than their clear lack of interest in playing consistent defense) and Mr.Karl is squarly to blame. His is a lifetime mediocre coach and for as long as he remains at the helm of the Nuggets- they will remain the same.

There is no possible explanation for the Nuggets having a top three league scorer in Iverson, the 2nd leading rebounder in Camby, a superstar in Iverson and Carmello and the Nugs remain a so-so team- are you kidding me?!!!

Teams should be deathly afraid of the Nugs and that's no where near the feeling the Nugs give off.

This team needs either a new coach or to bite the bullet and hire a full time general manager (no deal at the deadline?!!!! are you kidding me?!) Of course these two options are by no means mutually exclusive.

For now, I'm sitting back waiting for the Nugs to either miss the playoffs completely or to get soundly rocked right out of the playoff's in the 1st round despite Iverson playing his usual 'take no prisoners' style of play (he's never been able to inspire his team to adopt this attitude which has always made me question his leadership skills).

So with a heavy heart and a pessimistic eye I say- Go Nugs!

C'mon man. The Sun's season may be slowly circling the drain but that has nothing to do with D'antoni's coaching. Steve Kerr. Steve Kerr. Steve Kerr. And that's it. Get real, bro. Quit hating on D'antoni. He's an amazing coach. You just wait. You'll see.
And nice work on the blog.

carmelo sucks. maybe if he had as much passion as lebron and kobe the nuggets would be one of the elite teams you all seem to believe they can be.

haha the news coverage you're getting on this is hilarious and awesome.

just to let you know, you don't have an auto-redirect from http://firegeorgekarl.com to http://www.firegeorgekarl.com set up, so people who type the former are sent to your godaddy parked page.

Thank you so much for implementing this great blog. I too wish the Nuggets nothing but the best. George Karl is NOT the coach for this team.
When was the last time he took a tech for the team to get them motivated? AD showed more enthusiasum in one game than George has all year. His rethoric is just that. Many teams have injured players, but still show up and play DEFENSE.
This lack of coaching is appearant in the way he has handle the JR situation. Someone told me that a coach was to teach young players not throw them under the bus and create anomasity.
Gorge has to many irons in the fire(health, his son etc.)to give coaching his undivided attention.
Thanks again for this blog and getting the attention of the Press for all of us fustrated fans.

I blame Kiki--b/c of him we are stuck with K Mart and his rediculous contract--all star contract for a non-all star player. Would have been nice to be able to just do a one for one trade for Artest (for K Mart)...oh wait, why would the Kings want an injury prone forward that can't post up or shoot. We're stuck with K Mart unless we ship him off and pay half his contract--thanks Kiki--what a mess you left behind.

Another sugarcoated crap victory tonight. Karl is safe! Even if this immature organization was planning on firing Karl they'd probably keep him just to spite the folks speaking out here.

I'm on board with Dino, it's a crap franchise from top to bottom full of smug douche bags. I say we let Kroenke take these thugs to St. Louis and push hard for the Sonics. Kevin Durant has twice the heart and half the tattoos of most the idiots on this NBDL team. And even if Latrell came out of a dark alley and choked some more brain cells out of PJ he could still outcoach George.
