Discuss Carmelo Anthony, Nuggets now that Jazz eliminated them in round 1

Im going to say it was coaching. George Karl wouldnt have let it happen. On the flipside, the experience gained by the Dantly is gonna pay off for him in his career in the long run (even if he did lose with a vastly superior team).

Back on topic....

Unless Denver makes some drastic moves this offseason and gets better defensively, I see Melo leaving. This year was a disappointment to me because I honestly thought Denver would make the WCF. Problem is, I can't really see him fitting on a contender.

It was inevitable.

I honestly believe they need to make moves to be a more defensive team. And they really need to ship JR Smith. That kid is too much of a headcase for that squad. They need more reliable scoring off the bench, and better "glue guys".

Lakers got a free pass here. No way the Jazz beat a healthy Nuggets team. The team and their fans got to enjoy a first round win(its about time), and now they can get swept by the Lakers.

First and foremost, Nuggets need to find what they are going to do about a coach, then start adding and subtracting players

\Lol but we weren't even healthy

Chauncey (provided he stops trying to be a go-to guy) and Carmelo are the only franchise players. Who else on that team is great? K-Mart? He's good when healthy. JR? Talented but dumb. I have a feeling he will be bouncing around the league throughout his career.

I don't think Carmelo can be faulted for not making it out of round 1 when they had no coach, but its becoming clear he doesn't quite have that "push" if you will to carry his team. I still only see him as being, say, the best second option in the league paired with an equal talent with a more leader-oriented mentality.

So who played that role in their run to the WCF last year?

You did have your coach, if you forgot

Why is this in the Thunder forum?
