[B]Unquestionably, the Allen Iverson experiment produced some scintillating moments for the Nuggets and their fans. But the more coach George Karl watches Chauncey Billups run his offense

well as a much as I hate to admit it, He's right. They do look more organized and commit fewer mistake in both the offensive and defensive end as well

But to be fair the pistons are doing bad or anything, they looked a little shaky at the beginning, but I think they are starting to get along, I guess time will tell

Don't worry Karl, not much time for you in Denver anyway. Soon enough, you'll be fired because you suck too.

"There are less bad plays, more solid plays," Karl said. "I think the wasteful, cheap possessions that we used to have 10 to 15 a game, they don't exist very much anymore."Maybe that's because you didn't use Iverson's talents in the best way possible?

If Karl threw AI under the bus, AI should lie very still and let the bus do what has to be done.

Agreed. He couldn't get it down with GP and Kemp in Seattle and was booted there after that team underachieved and was the first 1 seed to ever lose to an 8 seed. In Milwaukee he had the same problems. He underachieves and doesn't teach D enough. When he tries to blame everything on AI, he just comes off as scapegoating.

Why would anyone want to play for that guy?

He's a class A schmuck. He does this every year.

He's a massive tool. I bet his players despise him.

i read somewhere that before this trade materialized, he tried to trade melo for tay and chauncey. naturally, detroit refused, so they ended up giving up ai for chauncey and dyess.

so now, he's making desperate attempts to scapegoat.

camby and kmart launching those 20 footers with lots of time on the clock = AI's fault? jr's frequent 30 footers = AI's fault? the list could go on and on but the fact is, the whole team (especially karl) should be held accountable for everything that went wrong last year

I agree. Unless Iverson was a jerk to Karl, he shouldn't have said that... even if it may be true.

Unless you get the 2001 Philly cast out there around AI, utilizing AI's talents to the utmost wouldn't win many games.

I could've sworn I remember hearing sometime in an interview George Karl saying something along the lines of "AI is trying to be more passive and defer more to his teammates but we're encouraging him to just be aggressive and play his game." Does anyone else remember this? Wasn't the exact quote, just paraphrasing it.

11-18-2008, 12:31 PM
They do appear more organized with a more naural point running the team. While what he syas is true, there is no need to say it. Maybe its more so tp praise Billups rather than insult AI

I think that the way the Nuggets are playing is more of a credit to Billups than it is to Karl's system. Becasue i've listened to several Billups post-game interviews and even half time interviews since the trade and it seems clear to me that he preferred the system in Detroit better but he's just an "i'll do what I have to" kind of guy.

I'm almost positive Detroit tried to trade Chauncey and Tayshaun for Anthony and Denver refused. Not the other way around.

Karl does throw players under the bus, but he didn't in this case. He had nothing but good things to say about Iverson when he left, and this quote is just a product of being asked why the team has improved with Billups. Plenty to rag on Karl about without making things up.

There's better ways of saying why the team has improved with Billups than pointing fingers at Iverson. George Karl has been around long enough to know that, he knew the media would run with this with Iverson's stature. He could have just talked about the things that Billups has done well without bringing in AI's name. If the reporter brought up AI's name, he could have said he brought a lot of good things to the team and moved on. What Karl did was take some shots at Iverson, it's not a suprise he has a history of taking shots at players in the media.

I don't think that many people would call Billups an elite level player. He's an all-star but not a superstar that you can build a team around.

Those are very weak "shots". They're not even really at Iverson, just at Iverson's style of play.

Honestly, the people in this thread are much more effected by Karl's words than Iverson. AI isn't dumb, he knows what people say about him. They've been saying it his whole life. This is far from the low end of things professionals have said about him. And it was taken out of context and highlighted by the media, because they love making something out of nothing, because thats what catches peoples attention. If you look past that, it's obvious that there is nothing to see here. Just a coach explaining why his team has improved after a trade.

How come he didn't say this while A.I. Was still in Denver? Though he's right, and I agree with him, he should've said it then.

Because he's George Karl...he wouldn't DARE say it while Iverson was there-he doesn't have it in him. The Pistons will be fine once they work out the post-trade kinks (and they have plenty of time to do so, since the trade was done so early in the season) and keep it going. Last game at Phoenix was semi-chaotic (and please don't tell me that Shaq was 100% innocent when he mauled Rodney Stuckey) but all in all, they did great this road trip. Will Denver be able to keep their little run going under George Karl? Stay tuned...

I love how when Iverson was in Denver the majority of ISH was saying Iverson was a great team player now and played with a more team-oriented mentality, and now when Karl says Denver is making better plays it's all "Well, Iverson was kind of selfish and not much of a team player..." Last year everyone was criticizing Denver's inability to play defense, not Iverson dribbling too much or not making the right play. Now that they're playing defense and Iverson is gone, point the finger at AI. Gotta love it.

And yes Karl's comments are true, but like someone else said, keep that to yourself or tell that to him when he's there not after he's left. Classless comments.

Are you really blaming Karl for denver's lack of defense? Give me a break, AI puts his heart on only one side of the floor every night, offense. He played no defense and that was not Karl's fault, Karl has been trying to preach defense for a couple years now.

And if you watched games, you would see that this year denver's D is one of the best in the league - without AI, with Karl.

Hmmm.......very interesting!

And who was always a mismatch on defense? Who never contested shots? Who always gambled for the steal instead of just staying in front of their man?

We can go back and forth about this forever, how about we just end it by saying AI just didn't fit in with denver. Karl may have said he was difficult to coach at times, but he also said he was really fun to coach too.

The problem with AI is you live and die by him, or get hurt. He has to shoot a lot to be him. He isn't always on. And he needs it more than most other players it seems and not exactly getting others in the flow with him.

I'd think its obvious at this point tho. Only ones that think AI is some top winning player are NBA allstar ballot fans and AI fans :rolleyes:

Haha, u and ur. Brilliant. Anyways, I was definitely not a fan of Karl last year, you could tell he didn't have control of his team and his players didn't really respect him. He took (or didn't take) bad timeouts, and used some bad rotations at certain times.

However, this year I've seen a new Karl which is why I think it's ridiculous to blame him. You can tell he's communicating with his team better, they're listening to him, and he's definitely coaching like he's got something to prove.

He's already gotten, what, three techs this year? Last year he had one....in all 82 games! That stat alone tells you he's taking a different approach this season and I can respect that.

First of all old billups had help in 04, if u can remember, iverson never had a team like the pistons, with 3 all stars on his team??? Iverson took a bunch of role players to the 01 finals, eric snow, hill, ratliff, lynch, are u serious??? If iverson had a team like billups did, just imagine what he would do, plus it took billups like 8 years for his first all star appearence, iverson, only 4.

I know there's no way to verify this, but I just wonder if the supposed "rumor" that Chris Webber had said that Iverson was absolutely hard to play with on the floor has any truth to it. He supposedly said this in the off season after his very first year with Iverson.

Possibly. I don't think anyone would say he's easy to play with, his style takes adjusting to. But I've seen Webber defend him on a couple occasions and has always had good things to say about him.


doesn't he try to do that every game?

Yes, because his games of 8-13 shots this season reflect that so well.

They can never have a better record than last year tho.
I'm really interested in how you will back that statement up.

Better team + worse conference = less wins? :confusedshrug:

Don't worry Karl, not much time for you in Denver anyway. Soon enough, you'll be fired because you suck too.

WOW. I can recall a few games last season where AI missed the buzzer beater to either tie or win.

And if you watched the nuggets you would've already seen Billups make a CLUTCH three against Minnesota with 50 seconds left in regulation. How do you think he got the nickname Mr Big Shot?

lol at u hoping on billups dick and bandwagon.....get real...melo didnt even have one clutch shot last season...as a matter of fact he made more bad than good in clutch last year :roll:

What the hell are you talking about?

We're talking about AI and Billups being clutch and you bring up melo randomly?

Quit "hoping" on the hate bandwagon :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll:

yea, the talent was there but the effort wasn't. i don't understand why melo couldn't put up the same D he's showing now last year. as for camby, his stats were pretty much inflated since he was collaring all those boards. besides, he wasn't a solid post up defender, his interior D mostly consisted of those weak side blocks

If a cancer is someone who takes a lot of shots at low percentages and dominates the ball then most perimeter players in the NBA are cancers. Which is an idea I can get behind.

AI being a HOFer is a joke. One which will come true, sure, but a joke nonetheless. Talk about the overrating of scoring!

Can't blame him. He wasn't happy they traded Andre Miller for him to begin with.
