George Karl is 1-12 in his last 13 postseason games, their newly crowned go to guy flopped and lost the ball out of bounds at crunch time with the same type of theatrics Gallup used to try and get a call when people play good defense on him.

Denver Loose.

Probably. They're about as injured as we were in the playoffs last year.

So, these version of the Nuggs get an excuse from you, but you never mention how the Melo version of the Nuggs were out-manned and frankly out coached when he was losing to the Spurs and Lakers while being under-seeded.....

the melo version of the nuggets failed every year for 8 seasons....

Also....the purpose of my response to Bonn was that when you gus are criticising him for lack of playoff success in Denver, its always a black-n-white argument. Siumilar to your post its "Failed for 8 seasons" You guye never mention that his teams were the higher seed in most of them and wasn't favored to win against the Spurs and Lakers....Dont start adding color to the argument now (Nuggs are injured) that Melo is gone. Those teams Melo played with didn't have a chance to win in at least 6 of those 8 seasons....

You're lumping me in the wrong crowd. I don't judge players by how effective their teams are, or at most I'd give only a small weight to that because it confounds the player's performance with that of his teammates. At times, I reply to others' comments though. I might point out Melo's playoff struggles if others' are claiming we are fortunate to have a true go to player for the playoffs but that's just a reply to the internal inconsistency in their argument.

I could possibly be lumping you in, not sure. I just remember arguing with numerous posters (remember some screen names, not all) on here who would always point to Melo's lack of success in the playoffs (as a way to knock him) and not one time would they mention that his team were the higher seed or were losing to the likes of the Spurs and Lakers. If the Nuggs lose this series (they still have a very good shot to win) those same posters will add color to the Nuggs argument by saying they are injured. Not one time did these same posters mention anything about Melo's teammates or the coach, but since Melo is supposed to be a star player, he was supposed to advance his team regardles...Dont remember if you personally was involved in those direct discussions, but I do know I've gone back-n-forth on you Melo as a player in the past....

Other than Gallo, who is injured? Serious question....

Game. Set. Match.

Losing an all star like David Lee is more crushing.

I totally agree with you. And you know something else? I thought the coach ran the team. Karl was the coach for the 8 years Melo was in Denver. If he didn't like the way Melo was playing then change it. Karl was the coach and not Melo. They road Melo's back. Melo put butts in the seats. Don't blame Melo blame the coach. The coach draws up the game plan. Karl have a history of loosing in the playoffs.

Faried is only in his 2nd game back.
Lawson might be fully back now - he obviously just had a great game.
Not sure about McGee - the shoulder injury last night looked really bad and he barely played afterward.

Oh give me a break. They are all back playing ball. Lawson scored 35 points I don't call that injured. If the Denver loose this series it will be because they were beat by a team more injured then them. Let's be real.

Ha Ha Ha So this is where they hide while our Knicks is having thier greatest season in almost 14 years being led by Melo. some of you just can't stand it. I am so glad to see some of our Knicks fan blogers debating them on this thread and not letting them get away with lies and wrongfull bashing of Melo and the Knicks.

This. All the posters who were overjoyed when the Knicks were losing are nowhere to be found in the Knick playoff game threads. LoL! I am sure they will show up in the Knick playoff game threads if and when the Knicks lose a game or two...

His playoff record has been used to put him down countless times.
