Smith.</p> </p> "I just think J.R. and Von (Wafer) both had too many bad plays (Tuesday) for a team that wants to be a championship team," Karl said of the two guards, although Wafer, unlike Smith, has not been expected to be a rotation player. "Last year, we tolerated it. This year, it probably won't be tolerated."</p> </p> Nuggets guard Anthony Carter, who suffered a broken right hand Saturday, underwent surgery Wednesday and had three screws inserted. As initially believed, he's expected to miss four to six weeks. -- <font color="#000000">Rocky Mountain News</font></p></div></div>
