"We got outplayed and we got outcoached"-Andre Miller

[PabloPuede]

They aren't built for the playoffs. Major difference between facing a squad once during a stretch of games and being locked in for a best of 7 series. Even if they do get a sure #1 option, will it then become the Melo era again? Though I say that, I'm sure the Nuggets missing Melo right now.

Exactly. The problem is that because Eric's proven to be an overweight, injury prone, unmotivated dikkhead, that kills his value on a max deal.

Given how bad Austin Rivers was too, I think they draft a SG.

I think they draft him on draft night and I agree, they draft a SG. Probably McLemore or Oladipo.

Then again, he wanted no part of New Orleans, he signed with Phx then New Orleans matched it

Nuggets lost this series because of the lack of a inside presence...you cannot run a uptempo fast break style offense against a team that does it better...nuggets aren't a consistent 3 point shooting team and are horrible at the free throw line..that style of play against a team that does those 2 things better than you...and its a wrap .....anybody that thinks otherwise doesn't know shyt about basketball

This team is much better than that Melo era team. This team has defense, depth, size, speed, some type of BBIQ, and the coaching to win. They just lack a #1 option. That Melo team lacked defense, BBIQ, depth, and a SG to win. Their best chance was with just out of his prime Billups. Billups wasn't as good anymore but he had some type of BBIQ. I remember how stupid that team was and they still made it to the WCF.

You give that Melo team Iggy, they would have made it to the Finals. In the playoffs, Melo was still Melo. In the playoffs now, that change of tempo with different PG's don't work much and the fast break even v. GS isn't as effective. Once the game slows down, Denver becomes ordinary and they lack that #1 option in the half court.

There was no way the Lakers weren't going to win the chip that year in 09, they were on a mission that year. And the Nuggets probably don't even beat the Mav's in the 2nd round without Melo.

That Laker team without Bynum? Come on son, you don't even believe that. Denver was just one very good player away that year. I was a Kobe stan that year. I remember that series and cheering like hell that Kobe was going to the Finals.

Melo was and is an offensive juggernaut. I might clown him on here mainly because of bytchass Knick fans but that's the f**kin man.

Even if the Nuggets were 1-player away, nobody was gonna stop the Lakers that year, and Bynum wasn't even needed, and the team was better without him during that time, that line-up of Fish-Kobe-Ariza-LO-Pau was filthy & dangerous, you couldn't double Kobe which allowed Kobe to go one-on-one and he could pass it to Fish, Ariza, & LO when doubled and all 3 were very good spot up shooters. And that Kobe-Pau pick n roll was just And Pau played and was looking like the best big man in the game was what everybody was saying during that time. Trust me, that Nuggets team was pretty fukking deep, but there was no way they were 1-player away of beating that Laker squad breh.

1 very good player and that Laker team wasn't without flaws man.

I beg to differ. But, at least I got to enjoy another dynasty though. Not sure if that will be happening anytime soon now though.

Really tho. I seen Ty in DC v. the Wiz. Ty had something like 26 pts and 7 ast that game. Wall had 16 and 11. I can tell you, Wall was much better. He controlled the tempo, created for others and had numerous amount of hockey assists. Ty did a lot of damage on the fast break but how many of those do you get when the game matters. Ty is a good PG. Can change tempo, can score, can run an offense, and is a solid passer but he's isn't great at creating, struggles creating his offense unless it's at the expense of others, and he isn't that smart of a PG.

He is a starting PG and a good one. A top 15 PG without question but if you are relying on him to be your #1 option, that's as smart as Josh Smith being your #1 option and you will lose when it matters.

I personally think Karl is one of the best coaches in the NBA. He's not Pop but he doesn't have the Squrs talent and BBIQ either. He is doing it with scraps in my opinion.

I like Iggy game and role in Denver. I like McGee role in Denver. I like Faried and Koufos role in Denver. I have an issue with Lawson doing too much but they don't have any options and no, Gallo is not a #1 either. They need a legit #1 option. Their are only a few quality ones in the NBA at SG. Bryant, Wade, Harden and Gordon. I would trade for Gordon if I was Denver. No real reason not to and NO needs a SF and those are hard to come by.

Problem with Ty is he isn't a floor general. He aint making his teammates better. He's good though. I think Denver wants him to assume the role of Andre Miller but Ty just lets Dre do that, and goes for his when the opportunity presents itself.

That team is jsut as much Dre's team, as it is Lawosn and thats not how it should be.

So if the Nuggets would have won the championship this year, Karl should recieve no credit?
