yeah its such a shame that the coach is treating JR like crap. It's inexcusable for him to be sitting on the bench for the last two games straight. He should be getting at least 20 minutes a game. Hopefully karl will come to his senses soon especially since Atkins is playing like crap for the most part.

Karl's an idiot, he tried to use his defense as an excuse, but this year he's been one of our more willing defenders...Really their isnt an excuse not to play him, especially against the Timberwolves!?!?!
We really dont need AI and Melo playing 95% of the time to beat a team that has 4 wins. Karl is a horrible coach.

JR is still immature and makes stupid mistakes. He has been trying too hard lately to be a play maker....driving to the lane out of control with no plan and throwing the ball away for example. But I think thats a result of Karl pushing him to be more than a gunner.
Karl, for better or worse (well, worse, theres no question about that) prefers to play guys that play smarter and in more control.....like atkins. Atkins takes smart shots, he just misses most of them. Atkins doesnt toss the ball away (but doesnt create either). And he tries on defense, hes just horrid at it. Karl would prefer that over JR's dumb decision making and lack of effort.

Rumour has it that Augmon is working his way back into the rotation. He had a hand shake agreement with management that he would be signed as a "Development Coach", and that if players like Bobby Jones or JR Smith weren't performing, that he would be inserted back into the 12 man rotation.
Im just kidding.

Its odd that our offensive efficiency is 14th in the league, while our defense is 3rd in the league and yet Karl isn't trying to improve the offense when it is stale, in large part still to this teams lack of constant 3 point shooting. Hes been showing strong effort in defense in my opinion in game and has at least done as good of a job as atkins.

I honestly dont see JR in a Nuggets jerseys for very long, were not using him and his contract is coming up, we also need to fill some holes and JR is a very intiguing player for a lot of teams, like NJ, Phoenix, ATL and more.
Might as well get something for him, I still think JR would sign with us again, I'm just pretty sure our FO wouldnt give him a contract.

Yeah, because they hit 3's when teams pack it in the paint on defense against us. We should know what we're gonna get out of those 3, defense, rebounding, and some low post scoring hopefully from Nene, but teams can just double off the guys we have in there now shooting. AC is a streaky midrange shooter at best, Chucky is garbage, AI is a streaky shooter from the outside that would rather pound the ball. So I guess Kleiza and the flattest jumper known to man-kind is the answer?
