Please, please, PLEASE quit speaking out of your ass, people. It makes you look (Please Use More Appropriate Word).

You the same person who claimed Carmelo and A.I. went into the "war room" and said "don`t trade anybody!" Turned out that Carmelo was pissed the next day. Gtfo and stfu, talking about someone speaking out their ass because they made 1, JUST 1 little false statement. The guy's point was that Karl isn't a defensive coach and that's true. I don't care if you're a "Nuggets insider" or not, you're not gonna get any praise over here. Every time someone say something you don't agree with you come over here throwing a tantrum. Gtfo.

Ballin02, the Nuggets deserve every last bit of criticism they get.

eric's still convinced that guards don't post up in the nba anymore.

Well, he should get a big dose of it in the next game if Carter is getting 9 minutes in every quarter because Davis and Jackson will put on a clinic of how it is done.

Glad to see Nene back in action.

That was good. Who do the Hornets want to get in the first round of the playoffs?

That is kind of what I figured. It won't happen, but I would like to see the Hornets and the Jazz in the 1st round. I think you guys could take them in a series.

[Don_eMOCION#31]

i'm not afraid of the hornets ... same with the jazz... both should be very entertaining series we could win. i'm more afraid of facing the Lakers because this fat moron tells all nuggets only to guard kobe. kobe was great against us because he realized that and averages under 20 points against us BUT his teammates are open the WHOOOOOLE time when we face them. doubling kobe every posession is not the solution, expecially when they have capable 3pt shooters like fisher who went off for 30+ pts against us...

i don't see us winning a series against LA (the only team i'm scared of) as long as Karl follows his strange defensive philosophies

If I could pick, that'd be what I wanted to see in round 1 too. So long as they hang on to homecourt, if only for the first round, consider me content.

Well, good luck to you (the Hornets have had a nice run and put the late season critics to rest that said the team would falter down the stretch) with whoever you get in the 1st rd, unless it is the Nuggets.

I'd really rather it wasn't the Nuggets, believe me.

Well considering all you care about is Carmelo's stat line...you shouldn't be too worried about that. If they "deserve all the criticism they get"...then why do you spend your days and night arguing with everyone you don't agree with about Melo? If you read correctly I said, I can understand CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM...but some of it they get from the media and others can git flat out ridiculous and hypocritical (which is the truth)....you know what, never mind, I don't know why I even bother.

Stop acting like a *****.

1.They mostly get criticized for their d. Seeing that they don't play d the whole game I can understand that

2.They get criticized for being 9th place. Seeing that they are in 9th place with A.I./Carmelo/Camby they should get bashed more. Maybe if they didn't blow games (Bucks, Bobcats, Sixers) they would be seeded much higher and getting more respect.

Before the season, alot of people predicted Denver to be a top seed ane they're not a top seed. They're a team fighting for a damn playoff spot. You tell me why the media should lay off. Is it because this year its weird and every team can win 50? Well, why don't they step up then and win more. Just because the Hornets, Lakers, and Warriors are surprising everyone it doesn't mean we should be satisfied with 48-49 wins and missing the playoffs because "the West got better". The media is no harder than we are when we discuss a Nuggets game after a loss. They're inconsistent and don't defend for 48 minutes. BOTTOMLINE!

First of all, every team by the end of the season has a handful of games that they could have and should have won, but they don't.

Secondly, the Nuggets may be in 9th, but they're only 6 games back of first. Last season, being 6 games back of first, you were the second seed. 9 games back of first, and you were the 3rd seed. 51 wins (what the Nuggets are on pace for) wins you the Northwest division. Two season ago, it's the same story. Only 3 teams had 50 or more wins in the West and 6 overall. And this season we're talking about 9 in the West alone. It's unfair to say the Nuggets are the 9th seed and just leave it at that and not only overly criticize them, but much more than other teams in West. Most of what Ballin said was spot on.

Any other season, without so much parity in the West, I think this Nuggets team pretty easily wins 55 games.

[MELO4MVP]

Bottomline is no matter how much the West improved, we shouldn't be a 9th seed if we're as good as we claim to be. 5 games back or 6, it doesn't matter. We still aren't a top 8 seed right now. All that you're saying is irrelevant. You see the Lakers, Jazz, Hornets, Spurs, and Suns? They're fighting for homecourt, we're fighting for a playoff spot. Thats the difference in us getting alot of Heat from the media and other teams getting respect. Warriors were said to be fighting for a playoff spot before the season started and so were the Hornets. They both surpassed us. It doesn't matter that we have 44 wins right now when 7 other teams have more. If we were a top team, we`d be in the 47-48 win range right now. I know someone is going to say "wow 3 wins" but 3 wins is what separates us from the elites such as the Jazz and others.

huge win, now gota beat the warriors

Wrong. Karl coached one of the Top 10 defensive teams in the past 25 years in the Seattle Sonics. Please, please, PLEASE quit speaking out of your ass, people. It makes you look (Please Use More Appropriate Word).

Honestly...I think Karl is more motivated than he was 30 games ago. Not sure if it is Nene, or the team speaking up for JR at a crucial time, or the FO granting him just one wish to keep the team he believes in, but he's just as moved as any of the players.

And as some have said before, you can't fault a player (or in this case a coach) if they are giving it all they got. If they're giving it all they got and it ain't enough, that's the FO's job.
