Idk where it says he blamed him for the 1st round loss. Looks like he just said he was :trash: after game 1, which is true.

And :childplease: with that bullshyt about not developing Hamilton and Fournier. We're talking about a rookie who was a late 1st rounder and a 2nd year player who was a 2nd round pick. "His own fault for not developing them"....gimme a fukkin break.

How often do we see coaches name drop negatively on players for not playing well in a series they coaches and lost in?

Second, I agree with the tweet in regards to Forunier because he didnt give em a lick of time during the season to know if they could help down the road or not.

Either way, this is Karl's history as a faqqot coach

Exactly. But we're on the Coli where posters agendas & "narratives" take precedent over facts & reality. Let The Coli tell it, its only 3-5 good coaches in the whole NBA. Truth is Miller WASN'T good after Game 1. Why is that throwing a player under the bus if true. And I'm not gonna front like I catch a ton of Nuggets games like the OP is doing, but most coaches usually shorten their bench come playoff time...why is it expected he would've given them playing time if he already had a legit rotation. We gonna act like Gallo ain't tear his knee up or that Faried ain't fukk his ankle up? :childplease:

As a Nuggets fan I approve the George Karl firing. Anyone could see that Fournier needed more minutes. Andre Miller was actually productive for us and bailed us out a couple times this season. Time to move on and hopefully get out of the first round next year.

entire quote:

I mentioned the criticism of his loyalty to veteran Andre Miller, who won Game 1 of the Warriors playoff series with a last-minute shot but went downhill from there, finishing the series with a .420 shooting percentage.

"I think that's a fair assessment," he said. "I think that's a fair evaluation of the games. But Andre Miller, the year he had, he's a foundation of the team. I thought he earned that. I thought he had an incredible year. I didn't expect a year like that out of Andre Miller. And then he's basically the reason we won Game 1. By Game 6 you're bailing on a guy who just won Game 1?"

The complication for Karl was that he had mostly played a three-guard rotation of Lawson, Miller and Andre Iguodala, with Corey Brewer moving to the backcourt at times when he wanted more length. But in the playoffs, Brewer disappeared about the same time Miller did, which left Karl with only inexperienced options like Fournier, a 20-year-old rookie, and Hamilton, who had barely played during the regular season.

"Corey wasn't playing very good," Karl said. "The next guy was Evan. I'll admit that in hindsight maybe I should have tried to build his confidence up rather than, as the series went on, pull the plug on him."

I don't think he threw miller under the bus, but the injuries aren't an excuse since the warriors lost david lee, and currys ankle is pretty much always hurt too. He did a great job getting the 3 seed but no way the should have lost that series.

come on now breh, we were in desperate need of shooting all season and Fours and J-Ham are two of our best shooters. it's lunacy that he left them rotting the bench while overplaying brickmasons Corey Brewer and Andre Miller.

remember this gem? [ame="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gCN9BApAAjY"]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gCN9BApAAjY[/ame]

Some of yall are a little higher on Fournier, I'm still not sure about him. But, Corey Brewer had his best pro season this year and while I didn't like how much freedom he gave Miller, that old nikka did his thing this year. It's hard to sit those two just to give Hamilton and Fournier a few minutes.

You know that team that lost to the Warriors was NOT the same team that was beasting on everybody in the regular season. Koufos was :trash:, Brewer, Miller, dumbass McGee, Chandler, all :trash: Iggy played pretty shytty for the most part. Instead of attacking they fell in love with the 3 ball and they couldn't hit shyt, but kept forcing it. And the defense was awful.

Some of it was Karl, some of it was the players not showing up.

I agree it was time for the two to part ways, but nikkas on here acting like Karl is a terrible coach. That's just not true. But these are the same people who shyt on Karl and call him a bad coach because he loses in the 1st round and at the same time will call Lionel Hollins a shyt coach even though he just made the WCF. A lot of stupid nikkas on here.
