karl is a great players coach but his "system" / rotations are dreadful.

Him using Gallinari (he's weaker than most SGs but very tall) at PF is just ridiculous, especially against teams with a big FC. Nene is already undersized at 5, then he puts a SF at 4, and sometimes go 3 guards.

Just like he did against OKC last year, going felton ty and affalo/JR for lots of minutes and using Chandler or Gallo at 4 alongside with Nene. Then Durant just had a field day shooting over midgets / grabbing O boards from Westrook's bricks.

Another thing that hurt Denver was the FT% and they keep shooting bad. This needs to be fixed.

he put him to guard Milsapp LOL.

then a 4 point lead became 10 points instantly.

then he subbed Harrington, friggin' harrington can't guard me...

Play big FFS! lots of coaches would love to have a team that can be so **** big and he goes small-ball. When has small-ball won anything in this league?

this one is over. this team is so stupid sometimes. how the **** do they go from beating the heat to getting destroyed by the jazz. denver needs to make some trades. andre miller needs to go. birdman needs to go. faried needs to play.

Lol, no. OKC should win the division easily. Nugs will be in a race for 2nd with Portland and Utah.

With this schedule and condensed season Denver should be able to compete with OKC for the division.

But I've severely overrated Denver's bench and depth.

And also, get rid of gamethread girls, this downward spiral started because of that.

Afflalo and Nene had 9 turnovers and 9 missed free throws between them.

These are the games that turn a hard fought victory against HEAT into no gain / nothing...... Like a good offensive team bad defensively gains no sh##t.

Karl has small balls when it comes to exploring, that is why he has been and always will be mediocre coach.

how can he still not give faried a chance. all i want is a chance. and damn miller has to go. gallo needs to go back to driving in and getting those fastbreak points we saw early. 4 of his six shots were 3s, he got to the free throw line but still. ty needs to be consistent. and jazz fans are still annoying. the minute they start winning they decide to pounce around like they are the greatest. go back to your hole guys, beating the nuggets is nothing special.

Utah is blowing out Jersey. Gordon Hayward is the most useless starting player in the league. Rudy Fernandez is going to drop 20 on him tomorrow. Book it.

Hate to troll, but that came back to nib you on the butt. Hayward ended the season well last year, and has been on a sophmore slump, but starting to get it going, with 3 good games out of his last 5. He's like the 5th option though, so it's all good.

UTAH suck status is hard to counter, look at what they done to a team's mentality that recently beat HEAT

. We will see each other plenty & this is the last W UTAH will get and we might as well let them troll idiots to have all they want while they can.

We deserved to be trolled.

Denver lost to Utah at HOME on a b2b.

Good to see this team continue to lay eggs after playing a good team. Never change Nuggets never change.

I'm now thinking the Nuggets are a 7-8th seed team of the West now.

agree, but i don't care who we play in the playoffs as long as it's not the thunder.

Nuggets are a good team, so yeah, a win on the road against them is a good win. Sorry if you think it's trolling to say you're not as good as OKC. Whatever. I think it's possible for the NW to have 4 teams in the playoffs, which would be sweet. And one game doesn't mean Jazz fans think they're the greatest. Like I said, it'll be a toss up for 2nd in the division.

Good game.

We are in serious lack of leadership on this team!

Mozgov (and maybe Koufos) will dominate Enes Kanter in the paint

I mean you should respect Jazz a little more.

Jazz four losses are vs good teams (@Lakers, @ Nuggets, @ Spurs and at home in a OT game vs Lakers).

To be honest, I expected a Nuggets win in this one, but Jazz show they can be a great team, and we were playing without Howard and Favors left the game.

I love reading the Nuggs forum just for fun. All the cockiness, blanket statements and lofty predictions at the beginning of threads countered with the shi#storm of negativity and crow consumption at the end is always good fuel for laughter.

Ok now some Jazz fans are really acting like Knicks fans last year when the Knicks managed to beat the Nuggets and then deciding that they are now top dogs because they beat... well Denver.

Sigh.

I really wish we chose to tank this season rather than try to contend. This game is a pretty good sign that we won't be a top 4 seeded West team this season and will be around the 7 and 8 seed mark,
