2007-2008 Denver Nuggets - Coach Karl, Melo or AI’s fault?

[easymoneysniper]

Just looking back, the denver nuggets were so stacked back then.

AI
Melo
Camby
Martin
Nene
JR Smith


Such a shame they couldn’t win a ring. Where does the blame lie? I blame George Karl because he didn’t do anything to make the team a powerhouse. Say what you will, but look at what Mike D’antoni has done with two possession heavy guards


Bean & co had a great year too, and would’ve been hard to see the nuggets beat the big three even if they got out of the west. What an era

 

[MJ Truth]

They weren’t good enough to win a ring. Nobody’s fault necessarily, maybe the front office.

They had to deal with Kobe’s Lakers and Duncan’s Spurs. They never had a chance. If both of those teams were off then maybe but you still had the Suns and Mavs to deal with too.

They were victims of their era imo.

Edit: if you had to place blame though I agree with OP its on Karl imo he ain’t make the most of all that talent.

 

[Mike18jj]

all three were at fault

 

[AlainLocke]

That team was overrated due to the names on the team.

They weren't that stacked. They had Chucky Atkins and Anthony Carter and Eduardo Najera off the bench.

Dope 2k crew

[RubioTheCruel]

It's not like this team was nice or anything they won 50 games and got swept out the first round

 

[Primetime21]

Sometimes you just run up on a better team.

 

[get these nets]

The first coach who had pros and lost in international competition

The first coach to have number 1 seed lose to number 8 in NBA playoffs


oh, that's right it's the same guy.

Crazy crazy era

That was just an extremely tough Western Conference that season; the Nuggets were 50-32 and still finished 8th place.

They were fun to watch though - AI, Melo and JR would go off, with K-Mart and Camby inside.

Eduardo had some moments if I remember

Replace Melo with Lebron or Wade and do they win?

 

[Shadow King]

A league where Kenyon Martin and Marcus Camby could start at the same time

Time flying

 

[Flex Grossman]

Karl one of the worst postseason coaches ever

The 2008 Nuggets are my favorite 2K team
