i know, im such a HUGE nuggets fan and its sooo hard to watch them get their butts kicked like this. i havent missed a nuggs game all season and this has to be the worst game. and y in the heck wud coach karl put allen on the bench for that long?!! i think more than half of the blame goes on george karl,even tho he seems like a pretty good coach, i think the nuggets need a new game plan, hopefully we get a new head coach next season...
Nothing personally against Coach Karl, but sometimes I think he wants the Lakers to advance because his son is with the Lakers.
How else do you explain it? If the Nuggets Players were not following his instructions then he should be calling them out. The players should also not be getting along with the coach. That is not the case. They are playing virtually without a coach, even worse, without any true leader on the Floor. Everyone keeps saying Melo is the Leader but I think more mature players like AI or Camby need to be the Leaders for now and have Melo take over in a couple of years because he is still so young.
Emotionally and by example, AI is the clear leader right now, but everybody wants to defer to the superstar Melo, I think he should be humble about it and say he would like to learn from the veteran AI. Just like AI joking with Melo saying "if I was that tall I would be getting a double double every night". If everyone had AI's mentality they would be going to the basket as much as possible.
