PrintPost your thoughts and complaints about George Karl here. Nuggets lost 124-118 to the Thunder.
How about exhausting the same lineup for one and a half quarters. Seems legit.

and chances are you will get the rebounds. It isn’t exactly rocket science, unless your name is George Karl.

gross
where was Koufos in the 2nd half? Anderson played great but was dog tired & helpless towards the end… come on GK this one is one you.
Here come the bitter stiffs..
But I am keepin’ the faith. Nuggets seem to be working their way out of the funk. Can’t flip a switch, unless you have Jeremy Lin to save the day.
February has been brutal for the Nuggets. No one could guard Durant tonight. Too long with no Gallo. Did like the driving to the rim. Even with the blocks. Nuggets need to keep playing this way.
It will get better. Losing sucks.. be bitter.. I will read your happy posts when the Nuggets get on the win streak that is coming.

That lineup was in the game for a solid 35 minute time
That’s the fourth time George has done that this year. They clearly had no gas…and should have rested them earlier if in the quarter if he was going to play them down the stretch. Unbelievable and incredibly short sighted.

The guy is just a flat out terrible late/close game coach, he always has been

- Tebow has earned next year, Rockies finally dumping dead weight in Ian Stewart (now on to Jim Tracy) and what exactly has happened to the Nuggets? No hustle, no D, no half court offense, may be time to let Karl walk.
This was an epic game.
The only thing about it that could have been better was a win.
Highlights:
-Nuggets nearly beat one of the best teams in the NBA.
-Ibaka had a triple double and his career high in blocks.
-Durant had his career high in points.
-And we nearly beat them. Without our starters.
If anyone is looking for a scapegoat its not Harrington, Andersen, Miller or Ty. The main problem was that despite their positive contributions, those guys were pretty dead at the end. It didn’t have to be that way. A coach should know how to better manage his resources and ours did not.

Disagree, Lawson's decision making needs to improve drastically.
Our guards are incredible defensive liabilities. We were torched trying to rotate players helping our guards cover Durant and Westbrook, and we paid the price on the glass.

Where are you going with that?
He’s tired so he can’t get into the lane, draw the shot blockers and find an open man? I actually could buy that.
by legendarywalton on Feb 19, 2012 9:25 PM MST up reply actions
I just don't trust turning the keys over to him for 5yrs 60m
I’m still feeling he’s a backup, due to his defensive shortcomings. I don’t know if it’s the shortened season, but he has really struggled to find easy buckets for the big men as he hits the lane. That regression really concerns me.
by legendarywalton on Feb 19, 2012 9:46 PM MST up reply actions
I kind of agree with you.
There is thing Westbrook does that I would like to see Ty do. When he (WB) receives the ball inbound he calls a play to his team on the floor. Interesting concept.
Did you see the last shot... I shook my head for the rest of the game.
Ty literally got a stop sign from Andre, looked at him and said “Should I go now?”

EPIC FAIL! GK
Seriously a 35 yr old Andre Miller for 20 game minutes in a row, with AL Harrington 25 mins in a row with Bird 20 mins til Koufus came in with 2 min to go…Seriously than you are asking Al and Miller to cover Durant. The players worked too hard for Karl to let them down: NO FARIED, NO KOUFUS, NO BREWER in the 4th….IDIOT….4th quarter failures are GK failures…..
STOP THE AL HARRINGTON LOVE AFFAIR….THIS IS DISGUSTING….I AM ABOUT TO BLOW A GASKET….
We should have taken Miller out for rest and put Brewer in then put Miller back in. Harrington should have never come in in the first place and it should have been K2. Bird should have been replaced by Mosgov…..
Then….NO TIMEOUTS…NO PLAY CALLS….THEN YOU HAVE THE AUDACITY TO IMPLORE THE NUGGETS TO RUN. PUT BREWER IN, (YOUR BEST RUNNER) AND GIVE THE GUYS SOME REST AND PUT SOMEONE FRESH IN AND THEN THEY CAN RUN!!!!!
EPIC FAIL KARL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I believe this loss puts us 9th in the west
FUCK.. But I do think Denver gave them a hard time and being down 2 starters and Chandler coming back we should get better right?

It wasn't that he took the shots
It was that we gave ourselves no chance at a foul or an offensive rebound. I liked Ty’s shot at the end of the 4th, but the previous one was terrible. It’s not even that. Why didn’t Karl call a timeout and setup the offense rather than Ty just trying to improvise while everyone basically stood around and watched.

re: Enough of GK; get him out of here!
Because management hasn’t bothered to start looking for a replacement. I hate to say it but due to his goodwill that he does in the Denver area and having beat cancer twice as a feel-good story is why he’s still with us. Professional sports is a cut-throat business; time to look for a replacement. I bet Phil Jackson could win a championship with this group. GK is over-the-hill.
needs to sit down with karl and say Dont you kno i went out and got all big and the 2,3,4,5 for a reason and that reason is

karl does need to be fired. problem is, there is no one better than him to take over.
he has ran out of creativity the same way shanahan, but if the bronco’s taught us anything, you had better have a solid, proven replacement waiting in the wings.i don’t see one. do you?

again and again i will say TY is not a starter and you can Flame me all you want ty should be coming of the bench Miller isnt that great either we need to go out and get some real PG’s
i dont kno what the nuggets are doing with your time off or when they practice but they need to work on Defense shooting and shooting FT and for the love of god boxing out!!

You’d think with Bird around that they would know how to attack a shot blocker, but they just kept driving into Ibaka

Pretty Simple
You can live with two players beating you, but you cannot live with second chance points. Koufos, Mozgov, Brewer, Afflalo, and Ty should have been on the court to end the game. We might have a few offensive black holes out there, but I have no doubt the offensive production would have looked similiar in the last 4 minutes.

Yet they got them a 5 point lead with 40 secs left
why ignore this? Those players clearly showed they had the ability to win the game. OK critique GK for not going with more size, fair point, but credit him when things work too. This never happens of course, it’s easy and convenient to blame one person for everything, requires less thought about all the reasons a TEAM loses.
"Weltmeister!!" Zwei mal: 2010-2011...und weiter gehts
The team went from tied to up 5 in 20 seconds
so what happened from that point on which suddenly made them so much more tired?

For me, I saw Lawson and maybe Al scramble for the ball
It was just unfortunate that it eventually bounced to OKC. I can’t fault anybody for that.
so why even have a great bench, if you not going keep players fresh.
Maybe we should just trade all of your good players and just have 5 solid players so Karl can play them the entire game
Harrington
I think we should rest him for a couple game. he just looks out of gas

So you can say Karl blew the final 40 seconds but his rotations had nothing to do with the team being up by 5 with that much left? Against the best home team in the league without two starters?
"Weltmeister!!" Zwei mal: 2010-2011...und weiter gehts
I'm not arguing his rotations
This is a very simple case of needing a stop/rebound to close a game, sub in your best defensive players to do so. I’m saying his refusal to sub guys out at the end of game for better defenders cost us the last two games.

I find that critique fair
my point is that to put the entire game on him is flawed, this is my opinion. Because that team could have won, Faried should easily have boxed out a stiff who got the tip. That was on Faried, tonight Durant was amazing, Ty made some poor decisions etc. It’s not always just one person although it’s convenient to say so. More people deserve blame and Durant/Westbrook also deserve some credit. The team could have been down 15 with different rotations too, so then you could say Karl kept them in it until late. Again it’s hypothetical but so is the critique. Putting in Kouf or Moz does not guarantee a win either.
"Weltmeister!!" Zwei mal: 2010-2011...und weiter gehts
I understand
Just know that I’m not on GK for the entire game, only the last minute. No excuse to not play your best defenders to close out a tight game, rotate offense for defense like every other coach in the NBA and we have a much better chance of closing these last two out.

Yeah I understand you
why it’s good to have a friendly debate. Some have their minds set and can’t even be talked to about Karl. But that’s OK, you can think what you want, in the end our opinions don’t matter anyway
"Weltmeister!!" Zwei mal: 2010-2011...und weiter gehts
The issue is that there are 4 times in the game where the coach matters.
1. Get the kids fired up to play good ball. Tonight George did great. Friday it was pitiful.
2. Manage rotations to get the most bang for your buck. George leaves guys in (and out) for too long, getting them gassed or cold. This isn’t something new with GK.
3. Get your team fired up at half-time. How many times have the Nuggets come out dead to start the 2nd half?
4. Manage time-outs. Stop a run, make your rotations. Tonight I thought GK called good timeouts and the Nuggs usually came out and “won” the timeout. His rotations were still terrible.
5. End of game management. There were sufficient time-outs and sufficient time-outs called to play offense/defense. All you needed was a stop and a rebound to win the game after Al made his free throws. Why don’t you put in guys who a. aren’t tired and b. rebound?
The Nuggets didn’t always execute their parts, but neither did GK.

I disagree, Faried is a good hustle rebounder
but on a contested box out type situation Moz and KK are better at this stage of their careers, that probably will be different when Faried grows up a bit more.

Yeah
Making defense substitutions at the end of a close game is a completely foreign concept to some. There were better players to close out that game left sitting on the bench because Karl thinks that Harrington is as good of an option to play D/rebound as Moz or that Miller can stick with people better then Brewer. I just flat out don’t get it.

You go with the players you think can win. No one on the floor or on the bench could guard either Durant or Westbrook. Once the Nugs blew a five point lead with 43 seconds to go, they were toast. Anyone who advocates firing Karl knows nothing about basketball. 15-7: a genius; 17-15: an imbecile? Wake up! The next thing will be a groundswell to fire Masai and Kroenke (oops, Kroenke CAN’T be fired —-his Papa owns the team) for not getting the Nugs more talent.

Nobody was calling him a genius at 15-7. The Nuggets were riding a not-garbage Harrington and getting good run from Nene and Gallinari. Injuries happen.
Karl then goes on to let the team lose AT LEAST three winnable games (Rockets at home, at Memphis, at OKC) even with these players out. We win in spite of Karl, we lose because of him.
by Colin Neilson on Feb 19, 2012 9:25 PM MST via mobile up reply actions
Did you watch the game?
The reason while we were winning and in the game was because we were running, taking good shots and rebounding. GK threw the running out the window when he continued to play a tired Miller, took the good shots out when he inserted AL, took the rebounding out when he left Al in for 25 MINUTES IN A ROW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11
Also, no timeouts!?
That’s great coaching…standing on the sideline, with no play calling and substitutions just asking a gassed team to run??? That’s your coaching. “I know you have played a whole half of intense basketball in a row but you must run and play fast”
Wrong. Up 5 with 50 seconds left
there is no excuse for not switching to a lineup with better defenders (Brewer) and rebounders (Mosgov, Koufos, Faried). This is not a nuanced decision or one that is open to a lot of debate.Try and defend it.
Or just foul them for 2 and make it a FT game.

2. If you vent, vent NICELY. I have an itchy trigger finger tonight and I’m not going to be reading a threat full of bitching at each other and trolling. Make your point and be nice!
Now….My POINT in all this is George SHOULD have rested that lineup earlier in the quarter if he was going to play them that long down the stretch. They had no gas in overtime and it showed. Toward the end of regulation rotations werent crisp and people werent getting to Durant in time. They were clearly dead legged. That is a valid criticism

Actually, I thought it worked out well, in this specific situation.
There were 3 guards of fairly equal stature, and Al Harrington. It doesn’t matter which of those 4 was to guard Durant, he was going to burn them. So at least by switching there wasn’t any pick-and-roll. :)

to box out a fresher Ibaka and Perkins. We were outrebounding them with a fresh Koufus and Moz
Guys and gals.
We went toe to toe with the beasts that are Westbrick and Durant without our best player Gallo, our ChiaBeast, and no Rudy Fernandez.
Losing sucks but it could have been MUCH worse, IMO

I’m sure he would’ve put him in the 4th instead of Bird.

I'm Not For Firing GK, But...
I too was frustrated with many of the decisions down the stretch, including:
1) Big Al on Durant? Really? Our worst defender wih the slowest lateral speed on the games best scorer? I would have gone with Brewer on KD down the stretch.
2) No Koufus in the Second Half? Really? KK dominated inside in the first half, and doesn’t see a sniff of time until overtime? Inexcusable.
3) No Moz in the 4th? With Ibaka dominating, didn’t we need his size and pick and roll ability? KK and Moz played great together in the 2nd Quarter.
4) No timeouts down the stretch. The team was dead tired and Karl refused to call a time out to try to get a decent play/shot. The Nuggets looked lost in their last 4-5 possessions in the half court.
5) Hamilton – actually think Hamilton should get some run. He can shoot outside and the Nuggs need someone to open things up from the outside. His stint was too short tonight.
6) Effort – loved the effort, but Nuggs need to start winning some of these tight ones. Better coaching down the stretch would help.

Two options for the Nuggets
1) Better be a top 4 seed if they make their run and they better start now.
2) If 1 can’t be achieved tank, tank, and tank like never before to get a draft pick. Rest our injured vets like Nene and Harrington.
Play Faried, Hamilton, and Stone. Also purge the team of its weak links…which means letting Fernandez go, and letting Miller leave as well.
Get young and talented, and I know Ujiri can do that.
The only issue is getting a coach who adjusts the gameplan to fit the player strengths instead of just telling them to run and not really installing any defensive system outside of trap design and actually using help defense schemes.

Guys, as long as Karl coaches this way...his way
we will NOT win a championship…if you are happy with a few great regular season wins and another one and done, keep drinking the Karl kool-aid…because he is NOT a great playoff coach…and if his crazy lineups and stubborness has caused us so many games just this year. Remember this is the team he wanted/ He doesnt think we need a go-to guy. He thinks small ball can win, and he is so stubborn about who he trusts…
I for am and really tired of his coaching.
We should be much better than what we are even with the injuries.
We gave the NO, Utah games away at home. Should have beaten Memphis the first time, should have beaten the Lakers at home in early Feb. The Home losses to Houston and GS this month are unexcusable. You have to take care of your home court against lesser teams. The Clips at home should have been a win, but since we beat them on the road, I’ll let that one go.
so we should have 6 more wins. and if he had the right lineup at the end of this game, we could have 7 more wins…17-15 versus 23 or 24 wins right now if Karl was a good coach
No Kool-Aid.

The injuries have been a killer, not Karl. You lose your entire front line for a lot games, you are going to struggle. I get frustrated with Karl’s eccentric coaching, but the players still have to make plays, including getting stops, down the stretch. We got no stops. Now, having our worst defender (Big Al) on the League’s best scorer makes no sense, I do think the guys were quite competitive tonight. Karl had them them ready to play.
Yep.
Because according to George, he decided to approach it like a “playoff game”. Needless to say, I was waiting for the one of our inbounds passes to fall in Russell Westbrook’s lap.

so wouldn't you say coaching makes a difference?
what is it you are trying to say, its not Karl’s fault, ever?
because my statement is that he coached better or we had a better coach, we would ahve 6-7 more wins…you disagree with that?

I agree
you would think that the NBA would like to have the blazers and Lakers in the same division

Ty
He frustrates me. It’s like he’s afraid to shoot at times.

I think he has trouble deciding if he should shoot or pass.

That's fair
He just needs to be more assertive. I don’t blame him for not driving the lane more tonight because he was getting mugged by Ibaka

I was not too upset with Ty today.
He did what he could do with Miller being Miller for almost the whole second half. And those “blocks” by Ibaka really seemed to get to his head.

Considering he got hit in the head on a few of them
that’s understandable. ;)

We had this game
Started well, lost leads but were still up at half, lost and got back leads in the 2nd, but this was totally mismanaged the last 4 minutes as certain guys were tired and couldn’t do the job on defense or on the boards. No excuse for Kouf not playing again until OT, and lack of using TO’s or having a play to run when the game was tied at the end of regulation hurt badly.
"1-2-3...HARD WORK!"
The end of the first half really hurt us
we had them down by 14 but let them creep back into the game with help by some sketchy officiating

Bizarre substitutions, tentative play, lack of half-court game cost Nuggets a sure win
We somehow had them on the run. We even came back to lead the game after another shit start to the third quarter. The players played with heart and determination, but they finally couldn’t beat both one of the best teams in the league AND their own bizarre coach.
Cannot figure out George Karl to save my life. How can Koufos play as well as he did in the first half and not see the court again until it’s way too late? And Moz needs minutes to get back into game shape and game head.
One more time: Lawson looks like a little kid playing with his dad when Miller is on the court. Without Miller this game would’ve been lost early on, but there’s got to be a way to get this awful dynamic between those two figured out. Can’t the coaches see the problem?
How is it that OKC could get the shots they wanted in crunch time, but we could not? Weren’t all of you cringing at our half-court “execution” late in the game? The Nuggets need some offensive coaching. WHERE IS IT?! And WTF with all the turnovers at critical moments? Again, that’s not just caused by careless play, it’s a problem of not having an offensive scheme to rely on.
So sad.

I know you guys don't want to hear this...
But this was a great game. It was back and forth and both teams looked really good. If you don’t believe me, think about this:
Three of the OKC players had their career-best game and they still only beat the Nuggets by 5 in overtime.
It’s tough because of the poor play of the Nuggets down the stretch and the inexcusable lack of defensive substitutions in the final minute of regulation, but it was still a great game.
It was a great game but
we lost in heartbreaking fashion again

yes bodes well for a playoff matchup but frustrating to lose a game because of idiot coaching.
Coaches are supposed to help players win, not find ways to help the team lose!
Well I'm done ranting for the night guys
gotta get up early and go to my lame ass geography class tomorrow. Then I’m off to denver tomorrow to check out what crazy lineup Karl has in mind for tomorrow’s game

re: George Karl and his 0 championships must go!
I can’t stand it anymore! Come on Nuggets management, please get your heads out of your as*ses and fire George Karl and trade pass-happy power forward/center oft-injured Nene! GK doesn’t know when not to tinker w/a lineup that works and refuses to put his better players on the court especially when they’re rookies. Witness Kosta Koufas last night, completely outplaying Mosgov but the idiot with 0 championships goes with Mosgov for the remainder of the game. They also have a 5 point lead with under 44 seconds to play and still figure out a way to lose. My 93 year old Grandma who I watched the game with me called it when the Nuggets were up by 14 in the first-half, “You just wait, they’ll figure out a way to lose.” Enough is enough! Can anyone not see that GK and Nene are both our weakest links??
