I cannot imagine any coach putting such low ceiling for a team this talented.
51 wins!!
A coach with championship aspiration would sneer at that... that's a 6-8th seed-ish record, in the West at least.
Who knows with the Clips getting better, Blazers getting better, the Warriors getting better, 51 wins might not be enough to make playoffs!
And considering he eyed 55 wins this season and finished with 50, does that mean we'll finish with 46 wins next season?
Karl is a moron... with this coach with such a loser mentality we can never ever win a championship!
I'd rather be a Hawks fan now because they don't put a ceiling to what they do. They just want to play the right way and they believe if they continue that, they're on the right track of winning a championship. But I won't leave my Nuggets!!
I want Karl to leave the Nuggets so it's fair for Nugget fans who want to see this team win a championship.
P.S. Thanks to Andrew for posting this link. I just want the Nugget fans who are still not sure who's the cancer in this organization... I hope you do now. That fatman who needs to get on the plane and get out of town now... as Costa puts it.

Way to show him up George, with the "51 wins comment". Of course all of us Nuggets fans know that:
51 wins equals #7 seed equals out in the first round.
A winning formula for five years straight!

This interview was disturbing. Whatever happened to the so-called Furious George? He seems like such a push-over. It seemed as though Dan Patrick was the one doing him the favor by having him on. George Karl, if you're determined to come back next year, please bring back the furious. If a player doesn't play how you want them to play, bench them (regardless of the size of his paycheck). Help these guys grow up together. If you don't have the authority you need to implement "your way" of playing, please don't come back. No one wants to hear any more excuses about players not executing on offense or defense, poor shot selection, etc. etc. You're the coach, the leader, the general...all accountability should start with you. If you don't feel this is the case, then you're not enough of a leader to guide the maturity of these players.
And next time you're doing an interview and disagree with the media (even if they're on the national level), don't let "Laid-Back, Got-Life-In-Perspective" George flip-flop your stance. Let the "Furious" out and respond with something like "that's why I'm a professional coach and you're just an anal-yst". Eventually, you won't even be able to say that. This is your legacy. This is how your career will be remembered. It’s time to fire it up and bring back the passion.

Our boy George has obviously given up to an extent on his players. Despite this, he won't resign! We have such a messed up franchise. Hopefully, the Nuggets will have really poor attendance next season and big changes will happen next summer. Thanks to Snake for bringing us this story.

I like Karl. He'd make a great golfing buddy. I just don't want him coaching my franchise anymore.

51 wins. You barely got in with 50, 51 isn't going to get you home court.
