Good riddance to the Nuggets for firing George Karl...(Thinking Shaw was a genius)

[QUOTE=NuggetsFan]I mean what don't people understand. Did you just start watching the NBA? No? Well than alright. Nuggets had the second longest playoff streak in the NBA sans the Spurs. Think about that. Seriously, the Nuggets? You gotta fire the coach. Time to move on. Perhaps time for the basement.

Karl did what he could. He and the Nuggets came to a point where they both needed to back away. People just don't care about Denver so have know idea about the entire story :confusedshrug:[/QUOTE]

This is true. When Karl was in, the Nuggets were always relevant.

Did the OP complain when the Cavs fired Mike Brown after winning 60+ games and never failing to make the playoffs?

Did the OP complain when the Warriors fired Marc Jackson after not having back to back playoff appearances in 20 years?

Did the OP create a thread when Lionel Hollins was let go in Memphis after taking that team further than they have ever been in recent memory?


Methinks the OP is a very angry racist. Scratch that, after his support for George Zimmerman, the OP is a confirmed idiotic racist.

Karl is a better coach than all those guys. Grab a clue, race baiter.

[QUOTE=stalkerforlife]As opposed to not making the playoffs...anytime soon.

:facepalm[/QUOTE]

I can honestly say, I thought the Nuggets would make a strong push for the playoffs this year. Five games in, it looks like I was wrong about that.

The problem about being a perpetual 1st round exit, is that it doesn't allow the team to acquire any new talent via the draft. Denver is a black hole for free agency, no one seems to want to play here. Making the playoffs is counterproductive right now imo for Denver.

As far as the slow start goes, I can't figure it out. I know there isn't any real "star" power with this team, but they shouldn't be this bad. I think that the problems are stemming from the locker room. I think Shaw has a disconnect with many of his starting players.

As far as a wasted season, it's only five games in. With 77 games left things can only get better, right?

I like how you conveniently skipped over the post about Shaw being an "AA hire" to call me a race baiter. But yes, I am the race baiter.

I have that poster on ignore. You're the only buffoon whose post stuck out like a sore thumb.

Karl is a better coach than all the aforementioned. Period.

If it wasn't for Anthony Carter the Nuggets would have a ring

Rockets gave Kelvin Cato a shitload of money just off of a couple of preseason games.

:roll: You gotta love morons of your ilk. OP, based on his historical racist posting, and other posters, clearly make a race baiting thread.

Instead of calling them race baiters, you try to call me "a race baiter" for pointing out the obvious.

And try to keep up, Billy. I am not having a discussion about the merits of who the better coach is (although I do not concede Karl is better)...I am pointing out the OP's (and other poster's) hypocrisy.

How is what the OP stated, racist? Are you legally retarded?

I am going to try this one more time. Then I am done. "Based on the OP's historical racist posting..." (i.e. his stance on George Zimmerman); the OP and others (i.e. calling Shaw "a AA hire") clearly intended this to be a race baiting thread."

Got it, Billy? I really cannot tell if you are "legally retarded" or just a moronic racist too? Suppose you are one in the same.

[QUOTE=NugzFan]Karl failed in the playoffs many, many times.

[QUOTE=DukeDelonte13]George Karl:

good reg. season coach, awful playoff coach.[/QUOTE]

I don't understand why people want to hang all the playoff failures on George. How big of a hand do you think an NBA coach has in determining the outcome of a given playoff series?

[QUOTE=stalkerforlife]Karl maxed that team out nearly every year he coached. It has been downhill ever since he left. George Karl was shafted by that joke of a franchise. Great coach.

Oh and why was Shaw so coveted as a head coach? He's another Byron Scott dud.[/QUOTE]
shaw doesnt look like the answer as head coach. but neither was Karl

we were never winning in the post season with karl coaching. not that we will with shaw coaching either


i'm hoping for Chauncey as head coach. sooner rather than later


but i agree. the nuggets suck now

[QUOTE=Stempel, HERB]I don't understand why people want to hang all the playoff failures on George. How big of a hand do you think an NBA coach has in determining the outcome of a given playoff series?[/QUOTE]
because he failed almost 10 years in a row. with 3-4 different cores

the fact that mark jackson outcoached him should say something

So...you're legally retarded?

Well let me break this down for the simple minded. You singled out the OP in your original post, not the user I have on ignore. Now from what I've seen, he's had some exaggerated topics that could be seen as "discriminant" and troll-ish, but nothing here suggests that he is racist and/or race baiting.

Thing is, replacing Karl for Shaw, in hindsight, [I]was[/I] a terrible move. Like Scott, Shaw hasn't shown that he's even fit for a headcoaching position (unless you think competing for contention is foreign).

Is this where I'm supposed to laugh? Do us a favor.. if you ever decide to tax your brain, charge no more than a penny.
