Denver started out great first period then went down hill at the end of the 1st period the rest of the game AWFUL.Someone who watched the game can you please tell me is it just me, or did the refs make a few bad calls in the Spurs fav?And Manu is a idiot I hate that guy.But Yeah Nene looked good atleast I think. But this was the first time Melo+AI had bad games when they play together with the very few games they did play together before the duo was doing great it was the players around them. Today how ever just both of them did not seem to have it going.And OMFG Melo stop f*cking jacking shots like Diawara when you missed so many at some point you got to stop forcing it geez. Pass it out to AI let him drive and creat for you even though AI was also of. I don't know if it was just me, but seemed like Melo was crazy at jacking shots/forcing shots today.AI damn first his ankle again I think he did not go out though I guess walked it of. But then wow he showed heart diving for the ball late in the 3rd period I think it was when they were down by so many little guy still dived for the ball showed heart for the game and how bad he wants to win I think by that play. But the bad part about it is the dude is lucky he did not get a broken rib damn that had to hurt. Yet they took a time out he still did not come out not sure why that had to hurt more then it looked and it looked bad. Then in the 4th when he was taking out he was on the bench he looked like it was killing him. Not good if any of the key guys mostly AI/Melo miss anymore time they will be screwed.I mean I guess we really won't see how good the AI+Melo duo will work and how good that team will be until next year just due to the fact of chemistry, and stuff.But Yeah just wanna get some thoughts about that game.
It's time for George Karl to go, he doesn't seem to care about what he's doing. If we're losing, he accepts our loss and does nothing to change it. Every time we're losing by 8-10 points, he stops coaching and accepts our loss. He needs to go...

I know I haven't been following Denver as much as you have, but I still think he needs time to get this team to gel on both ends of the court. The only complaint I have about him is that I really don't understand why he doesn't utilize an AI/Melo pick-and-roll... that would be DEADLY, not only because of those two guys, but because it would open up shots for JR Smith, Blake, Camby, etc., and all of them can hit jumpers.Defensively I think they'll be good to go next season... I think once Camby gets back to full strength, AI will turn it up defensively and at least give the same effort he gave in Philly back when we had Mutombo. If AI and Carmelo step it up defensively (at least intensity-wise, if nothing else), the rest of the guys will follow.

Karl may need to be gone, but not yet, lets give it a little more time.
If they aren't doing too well by the All-Star Break next year, then I'd say they should possibly look into dumping Karl, but not until then. It's tough with everything Denver has had to go through this year.
Ah geez I don't think Karl is the problem at all.If we got Kidd that would help D wise, and he is taller then Blake and a all star kinda PG he would set up AI+Melo better but mostly this team would make a leap of a change getting better on D. Get this guy geez he is going to be cheap. I mean Lakers were giving Kwame freaking Brown, Chris Mihm, Pick, w/e scrubs they not even willing to give Bynum we can beat that deal.And also I say push hard to get JO/Pau I know they asked about JO, but they need to do more then ask Martin is injury prone we need a inside scoring threat + he would help on D both of those would. I know we don't have much, but won't take to much especially for Gasol. Nene, JR, Martin, umm future picks? Even Camby I would trade if I could get JO.And I for got to say before yesterday Iverson got 8 or more assists in 13 out of the last 20 games I think that is a good sign his assists are going up.
