George Karl supports Melo in court...

I really want to keep this blog focused on the draft this week and we've had enough fun at Carmelo Anthony's expense regarding his DUI fiasco. So if you'd like to read about Melo's day in court regarding his DUI charge, I recommend reading the Rocky Mountain News' detailed coverage.

But one thing that must be highlighted here was Nuggets coach George Karl's presence in court to support Anthony. I laid into Karl (as usual) the other day for not coming out publicly on behalf of Melo with the trade rumors swirling around, and still believe that this will add to their pre-existing friction going into the 2008-09 season. But Karl showed a lot of class by being there for Melo today, and he deserves major props for that.

See, we can be "fair and balanced" at DenverStiffs.com, too!

Wow! Good for him. Did he wear his Seattle tie? He probabaly realized that once the team decided to announce they weren't going to trade Melo, he should probably get 100% into the team he now has.

Anyway, hopefully Melo realizes that Karl didn't need to be there and (supporting my Nugs despite the changes I want) they can "click" this year... finally.

This could be a step in the right direction for both Melo and Karl and their relationship.

My guess is that Karl didn't have much of a choice in the matter. I bet he would rather be at Ray Allen's house with no beer and no cough drops.

It's a start to hopefully a fixed relationship.

Fire George Karl, trade Marcus Camby, send Anthony Carter back to the NBADL, and make Marshmello play defense or bench his ass until he does.

STIFF LIST (as of 4/26 by Andrew Feinstein)

1. METTA WORLD PEACE

Metta resorted back to Ron Ron last Sunday by clubbing James Hardenwith an "inadvertent celebratory elbow", landing him a 7-game suspension. Apparently, changing his name didn't prevent NBA commissioner David Stern from overlooking Metta's past behavior problems.

2. CHARLOTTE BOBCATS

The 'Cats are on the verge of securing the worst winning percentage in NBA history. Given that the guy who runs the team - Michael Jordan - had previously drafted Kwame Brown and Adam Morrison, should this really be a shock?

3. OKLAHOMA CITY THUNDER
The team that was supposedly built to overcome the lockout-shortened season managed to lose 7 of its last 14 games, ceding the Western Conference's 1-seed to the Spurs in the process. Their reward might be a first round matchup with defending champion Dallas.

4. BILLY HUNTER AND DEREK FISHER
With report after report coming out about NBPA union head Hunter's shady, nepotistic dealings and questions arising about Fisher's own role in dealing with NBA owners behind Hunter's back during the lockout, this off-the-court scandal could prove to be more exciting than the playoffs themselves!

5. STEVE NASH AND THE PHOENIX SUNS
The Suns are on this list for squandering the last few great seasons from Nash. Nash is on this list for his stupidly stubborn loyalty to a franchise as awful as the Suns.
