That's one of their main problems. Not a diverse offensive team. Defense and 3PT shooting being below-average are two of the others. Then you have their emotional control not being there, letting calls get to them and effect their play too much.

They have to get better on both ends of the court. More balanced, more disciplined.

Unless Melo and A.I don't start to demand more from themselfes especially on the defensive end they'll never get out of the second round with Denver.

He said the Nuggets won't go anywhere until Melo and AI actually put an effort on the defensive end.

Lol at Kobe asking for a screen and Pau taking 5 seconds to saunter up the floor to set it. That's how exciting this game is.

Stop blaming Karl.

Maybe this group of AI/Martin/Melo/Smith is uncoachable?

You can argue about the refs, but there is no question the Lakers is outhustling the Nuggets.

George Karl is the exact oppossite of Gregg Popovich. Pop always makes the adjustments at the half, while Karl does nothing. Maybe he's preparing to work as a commentator at ESPN next year.

This game's in the refrigerator: the door is closed, the lights are out, the eggs are cooling, the butter's getting hard, and the Jell-O's jigglin'!

Probably because the players didn't care what he said neither.

Lol @ Pau receiving a pass and the clear path to the basket, getting fouled, and calling himself a slow motherf'er.
