George Karl to coach West All Stars

Roy is still injured, maybe it’ll be worse than it looks or he reaggravates it prior to the ASG. Maybe Chauncey has a chance.
Anyway, congratulations to GK, but just because you can still lose the next 2 games and still coachthe West, doesn’t mean you should. >.<

hope coach karl sticks to no more than a 7 player rotation. karl owes it to the basketball gods to keep the spotlight on these true all stars for as long as possible. dirk, kobe, dwill, durant, roy, duncan and amar’e you guys deserve 40+ minutes minimum. give these players as much time as possible to show case their skills to the world.

Just about choked on my cough drop when I read the title of this post.

and may I say, he was rather a cutie when he was young :)

Tonight on TNT, Ernie Johnson stated that, because of the Mavericks’ loss to the Suns, George Karl will coach the Western Conference All-Stars, as he has the best record of any coach in the West not named Phil Jackson.

Not entirely sure though, I don’t know if the Jan. 31 game @ the Spurs will count toward the decisive record. The Mavs have a shot at tying the Nuggets’ record if they win against Portland AND Denver loses at OKC and San Antonio (if the latter counts). I don’t know what the tiebreaker will be in that case, the Mavericks have won the lone game between the two, but Denver has a much better Conference record.

If the Spurs game doesn’t count toward the decision, Karl will get coaching honours, and one of the assistants will coach in the Rookie game. Well deserved, might I add.

Now if we could just get Chancey and Ty on those rosters.

Looks like Karl gets the nod as the Nuggets will at least end up in a tie with Dallas for 2nd best record. Jackson is out because he coached last year, and Karl goes over Carlisle since Carlisle has done this more recently.

At least the Nuggets got a little more recognition, by several defaults nonetheless, because just having Carmelo there is really a slap in the face to what this team has achieved over the last year and also the last few years.

or maybe Williams as well, because they shouldn’t be there while his guy should!!! Also play Kobe all 48.
