Carter What purpose do he serve as a starter?

AILebronMelo · Post #1 » by **AILebronMelo** » Sun Apr 13, 2008 4:53 am

can someone answer this for me? everytime he on the court teams pull away or start with a big lead. He is useless and there is no way he should play over Jr. Smith just disgusting manament sit back and let Karl have beef against Jr. and play some CBA overseas journyman as our starter.

zero.

karl says he sets a defensive tone. its bull.

I think its bull too. Jr.Smith is 6-6 and way more active on the defense of end. I hope whenever Karl gets off this team as coach Carter goes along with him.

No, he sets the tone by giving us a hole to dig out of to start games. It causes the rest of the team to step up the defensive intensity, which rarely happens.

Look on the bright side, he only has between 2-9 games left in a Nuggets uniform.

According to Karl:
He plays great defense and move the ball around.

Karl is an idiot plain and simple, no coach in the league will give him 20 mins let alone 30.

Our inconsistency starts with karl and hopefully management will have a talk with him or else give him the boot because with carter starting we aren't going anywhere.

I'm a Jazz fan who was at the game last night. While watching Carter, I said to my friend that I have found the worst point guard in the league and he is starting for the Nuggets.

larry brown would be the greatest addition of all time so far i think. every team he joins transforms into a title-contender (can't count the knicks... the player's attitude over there sucks and they can't play ball)

he can transform any team into a defensive power house with his rough coaching mentality (which karl hasn't)

^^^Exactly, I feel that its a "high risk, high reward" thing. Every team(outside of New York) he goes to becomes a defensive minded playoff/title contender. I know there is that negative conotation because of what happened between Larry and Melo in the Olympics in '04, but I think that because A.I. has matured and his relationship with Larry has improved so he could keep Melo and Larry in check with each other.

I feel that, it wouldnt be peaches and cream through the season but it would work and it would get us to actually.....(gasp) play defense and contend for a championship.

plus larry brown wouldn't give any team a night off that makes 130 pts or 30 assists which is nearly every second nuggets game

Larry Brown isn't the answer....Karl and Brown are similar in a lot of ways....and they both have ego's that don't mesh well with many players. I'll take a good young coach that can motivate over old Larry "I'll quit on the team, but try and come back next year" Brown.

How better we whoud be with Steve Blake still running the show?

And, why he leaved?

Karl just assumed that Carter is better!

Post #17 » by **corona** » Sun Apr 13, 2008 9:29 pm

blake's agent said he got 5 million offer from portland.
denver said you're not worth 5 million, we'll only do ~4. go take theirs
denver signs atkins to replace blake
ends up that blake only had a 4 million offer from portland, and he had to settle for that.

The only thing I can think of is not playing young players.

Karl and Brown are both from North Carolina's school of coaches.....they both obviously have ego's and only coach on there terms....they both have showed they can't manage ego's..or star players. Larry showed this numerous times with AI, Melo on the dream team, with a young stackhouse, and to an extent with Webber. Karl...well don't even take his job with the nuggs into consideration...look at milwaukee, and somewhat with payton in the beginning. He's got a who's who of stars that he's alienated in the league.
If you want to talk X's and O's.....offensively neither could get AI to do anything but dribble around and run the shot clock down, our offense looks very familiar to what happened in Philly with Brown. I believe that coaching in the league isn't as much as X's and O's as it is managing personnel and talent. If your players respect you...they play hard for you, 80 percent of the time, if you're lucky. Defense is 90 percent effort, and if you don't put out effort....I don't care who your coach is, you're not going to play D. AI didn't do it for Brown, he doesn't do it for Karl.....Melo doesn't do it for Karl, hell the whole team doesn't put out the effort....so why would bringing in Karl's buddy....Larry Brown...make any kind of a difference? Put down the meth pipe, why would Larry even want to coach where his good friend just got fired from?
