First real comment
Good end to the second quarter, I feel that Golden State is not adjusting to us taking our man one on one and relying too much on weak side defense.

I liked our offense, but I would really like to see us step up on the PnR defense.
We’re not hedging strong, waaaaay to soft a show on a lot of them (I’m looking at you, Nene)
Just don't hold on to the damn basketball!!!
I think either Faried or K2

I think the point is

Meiosis is cell division for eukaryotes
Blastocyst means living cell.
Insemination means ….
DenverStiffs > MileHighReport
#FreeFaried on twitter. Join the Revolution!
Uh, no.
Meiosis is the process by which haploid gametes (sperm and egg cells) are formed. A blastocyst arises, via mitosis (not meiosis), after fertilization, from a diploid zygote, whether that be in vitro or in vivo. With a “test tube baby” a zygote is nurtured, in vitro, into a blastocyst prior to implantation, not insemination.
Yeah, but stasis is never the best route to go.
You want fresh zygotes! FRESH!

Wait...Nene soft?
I saw the Nene throwing down dunks and going 5/5 for 12 points in 16 minutes.
Nene can be soft yeah but he isn’t tonight. What game are those people watching?
Also Manimal with 8 points and 7 (!) rebounds in 12 minutes. PLAY HIM
by Colin Neilson on Feb 9, 2012 8:21 PM MST via mobile reply actions
He got sent to the line twice
Both could have been an and-1 if he went for the dunk.
I’m not complaining. Just saying, missed shots when a foul occurs doesn’t count against shooting stats.
But you know that.

A lot of it is mental.
We’re in a funk, and it makes it harder to make that little extra effort. Your body just doesn’t seem to respond as quickly, and you are more apt to settle – both on offense and defense.

That used to be a Nuggets move.

That 4 game win streak will have them pumped up to destroy the Thunder next Sunday. “The Association” will have a great plot line of how the Nuggets went into this terrible funk, but found their way out and got back to their winning ways right into the playoffs.

I've said it about past games,
but until the Nuggets show teams the ability to hit jump shots consistently, we’re going to continue to see the same thing. Teams sagging off and clogging the lane, giving no room ot drivers or cutters.
Just don't hold on to the damn basketball!!!
To continue....
right now, teams know that all the Nuggets can do is drive and run. They don’t have anyone on the team with a mid-range game. There is no one who consistently threatens the defense from deep. Earlier in the year, when we were winning, we would have players get hot from deep occasionally, and now we’re not. No team feels it necessary to guard us outside of the paint.
Just don't hold on to the damn basketball!!!
Ouch, Nuggets. Ouch.
We’re in free-fall mode. This team is out of confidence. With the Lakers and (likely) Rockets winning tonight, we’ll probably be nearing a slot outside of the top 8. Damn you, Denver.
Nuggets in the early season were a totally different team.

Funny but when we had a healthy squad and
George was still a bad coach, we were still 15 – 6. His stupid coaching didnt hurt us that much.
How George coaches is how he played Rudy tonight
Rudy came out with fire tonight going 4/5.
Karl thinks “hey, he’s killing it…I’ll keep him out there.”
Karl plays Rudy for 21 minutes straight.
Rudy has an overall crappy game cause he is too worn out.
George doesn’t think a few steps ahead, he thinks in the moment. George would be a horrid chess player.

maybe Kev but
no coach turns bad players into good ones. As presently constituted, we have little talent.
That's ridiculous
We have a good core of players. We have a bad coach that wore them out and can’t motivate them over the hump. And before you say that’s on the players, it is and isn’t. A coach’s job is the get the best from his players and clearly George is not doing that because instead of adapting, instead of thinking a few steps ahead, he is clinging to his tired, stubborn habits.

Here's the thing
At some point, at the professional level, players must motivate themselves. It’s part of what they get paid millions of dollars to do. This isn’t college or high school. IMO the head coach is responsible for play calling, rotations and playing time.

Yes, it is on the players to be mentally tough. I’m actually I saw AAA get so upset tonight that he played with the fire and resolve he had last year.
But when you’re play calling is terrible, your rotations and line ups make little sense, and you don’t make playing time for the energetic, healthy, give it all I got guys, then how exactly do we win?

I agree. Karl is Karl, I will always have issues with some of his decisions but
he is the same coach that believes in our players and got us off to a hot start. Now we have injuries and we aren’t as deep as we were a week ago. Missing 2 starters and 3 out of our first 8 in the rotation has more to do with our losses in the past week than George does.
North Carolina was the first place in the U.S. that gold was discovered.
David Thompson then moved to Denver and played for the Nuggets.

Not just on Ty, but on all our perimeter players.
We have no one who threatens the defense consistently from outside the paint. Maybe Hamilton could be, or if AAA is truly coming out of his funk, or if Rudy becomes consistent. Right now, however, no team we play respects our outside shooting. They pack the lane because that’s the only place we can score. We can’t even make ft’s consistently right now.

is that the team already doesn’t get any practice time, what with the ridiculous schedule this year. When is, say, Sloan going to get the opportunity to install his stuff? When is any coach going to be able to change the way we play significantly? If we were to make a change, we could look to having even more ugly games, or, alternatively, have the new coach ride out the season with Karl’s system. I’m not sure that a change would truly be a positive step.
Just don't hold on to the damn basketball!!!
Maybe a different coach would stop the run run run crap
and play some younger less tired guys.
Maybe prevent injuries that extend into next season.
This team needs to run.
We don’t have the shooters to run a “conventional” offense, as this past week has shown. If we make a change in style, we might as well blow it up and bring in a new set of players.
Just don't hold on to the damn basketball!!!
defense is obviously the problem, 37 points in the 3rd quarter?
no effort, no willingness to win, no emotions, dont care
hate to say it this season was lost when gallo went down
might as well gt on way with new coach and strategies
The season isn't over. Not nearly

when we are getting beat by golden state at home..
and we we win only 2 more games this month and possibly 7 or 8 next month…its saf to say nuggets are finished
Welp I think it's much too early to make that pronouncement.

It isn't too early to say that we're in trouble though imo.

A funk doesn't mean Denver is a lottery team
Just like that 6-0 winning streak in January didn’t make Denver a championship team.
Denver is a good team playing bad basketball.
I’d advise you all against panicking, but you aren’t going to do that.
Is your love worth the nausea it could bring?
Agreed
It’s not nearly over. But this is as bad as I remember Denver playing since 2002. They need to fix it and soon, or they are headed for the lotto.
no, it started with Moz, then it accelerated with various injuries to AAA, Nene - The Gallo
injury was the coup de gras (sp?). I see little chance that we survive Feb
we might beat phoenix next week
and possibly minnesota but coming off a b2b…i doubt it
yeah but yur saying that we might win a few games
every team wins a few games but I reckon we’ll lose a whole bushel. Hope I’m wrong.
play jordan hamilton more, he might be the best answer but he can shoot
corey brewer from twitter “Man I hate watching my guys struggle keep your heads up nuggets we gonna be fine we just gotta keep working and get healthy.”
If we get healthy and together
we’ll be good in March and April but it might be too late for us to secure a playoff spot much less a good seed
1-9 to finish feb
march we might break even with gallo
agreee with March but
I healthy, I dont see why we dont become a force again
NK, Seems like you dont have a high opinion of Nugs
Healthy or injured. Thats OK, but you might not have caught what Nugs have done when healthy since Gallo trade
nope been watching nuggs since they drafted mutombo
and they had marcus liberty and cadillac anderson. not a big karl fan though. I call it as i see it. just my opinion. if that makes me a troll then rock on!
Did you know that the nuggets have a
player development coordinator named Patrick Mutumbo? He is not related to Dikembe but he was an excellent ball player himself. He played for Metro State and won lots of awards.
Just an interesting bit of info for you.
I didnt call you a troll, and glad to have you on board
but if you seem negative even when/if we get healthy, it does read a little like what Knick fans have posted here.
So you are legit, great, but there have been cases of stalking Knick fans here who betray selves via overly negative comments
FYI, my recent postings have been pessimistic but only because I believe that our injuries could completely derail season
I can solve all of Denver's problems with one trade
I am a life long Knicks fan. I love the Nuggets also (mostly because you have a few of my favorite Knicks). We will gladly trade you Melo for Gallo/Chandler and a first round pick. :-)
lol
This has been a good week for Knick fans I imagine. Lin tearing it up, of all people.
wouldnt give you gallo for Melo
straight up. But if you want to talk a bout Lin …
True
I was unable to watch the game. I expected Ty to step up points-wise. What’s wrong? Looks to be passing better though…Was it his outside shot?
Read above.
I think Lawson needs to spend the entire off season (because he won’t get a chance before then) shooting thousands of 10-15ft pull-up jumpers a day. Players will continue to back off him until he shows he can hit them consistently
Just don't hold on to the damn basketball!!!
teams have the book on how to stop him
play him back, stop his penetration make him pass out to any number of guys that can’t shoot or penetrate…
Henceforth:
Joking BANNED on Denver Stiffs. Since no one knows if / when anyone is joking or being sarcastic.
Is your love worth the nausea it could bring?
I have no power
So, I can’t enforce anything.
But it’s no joke. Because, this is very important, if you have to explain it, it isn’t funny.
Is your love worth the nausea it could bring?
Fly, I appreciate your humor.

did you read or hear this?
or are you just assuming the DNPs are evidence that we are shopping him
don't fake the funk on a nasty dunk!
Well he plays good one game the other night vs houston, then starts vs dallas
doesnt play tonight…
Something minor
Team isn’t likely to make a major trade imo. They’d try to dump birdman if they could, but it’s unlikely. Could trade Al I guess, if there was a team interested. Both guys brought in under a previous GM anyways. Doubt there’s any attachment to either.
this is sad
i was stoked about moving from HNL to DEN this spring so I could go watch a playoff game in the Can… now it looks like we might not make the post season. i hope this is just a funk and not an irreversible change.
don't fake the funk on a nasty dunk!
that would suck
ty gets owned by d.fish consistently, god i cringed just typing that
don't fake the funk on a nasty dunk!
i think the talent is there
it’s the execution that is sucking right now. no passion either.
don't fake the funk on a nasty dunk!
I know it looks bleak right now
A bad stretch can screw things up for good teams.
And right now, the Nuggets are screwing themselves out of home court in the first round.
But there is a lot more screwing up that needs to happen before they screw themselves out of the playoffs entirely.
Is your love worth the nausea it could bring?
Never thought id say this, but we need brewer more than ever right now
im not a huge fan of his but hes better than anyone else we have been starting at SF
Don't worry it WILL get better!
This was a brutal stretch of the schedule from both a quality of opponent perspective and lack of rest. The Nuggets are dead tired, Gallo is out, and several other players are either playing hurt or have been in and out of the line up. We just have to hope we to hang in there until the all star break, Then everyone will get healthy and be rested and we’ll make another run!
1 and 9 in feb,
8 – 8 in march, and 8 and 6 in april
in short nuggets end up with 32-34 overall record
missing playoffs by 2 games to rockets for 8th seed.
Will you come back if you are incorrect and we make the playoffs?

Were you also predicting the Nuggets would win a title after our 6-game winning streak?
In other words, silly prediction is silly. A 10-day funk =/= 2 more months of said funk.
no but i predicted a 6-9 feb during that winning streak
wow was i being generous!
positives from tonight's game
1. Kenneth Faried finally had 10 rebounds, and i liked his defensive energy…he needs more time but I think he will be really good next season
2. AAA was glad to see him get a little fiery. The fact he was guarding 6’10", 245 pound Udoh in the paint when things got chippy (speaks volumes of Karl’s undersized line-ups) is another subject. But AAA plays better mad and it was nice to see him shoot with some confidence.
3. J ham has a nice looking 3 ball. Could he be the shooter we need with Gallo out?
after a few more loses
perhaps Karl will roll the dice with J-ham and see what the kid can do
During the Rockets game
immediately after finding out the results of Gallo’s x-rays I threw out the suggestion of a trade and got cyberly yelled at by many of you suggesting there will be a trade. What’s changed? That we’re losing without our best player and budding center?
IT's clear the tight rotations are hurtng the team now..
The Nuggs are dinged up, tired, dead legs, mentally out of it. Some of us have been saying that George needs to go way deep down his bench and lighten up the minutes for the regulars. This team just looks dead tired, mentally and physically. Time loosen the rotations and give the young guns some run. Dre, Nene, Al, Ty and AAA need some down time.
