DENVER doesn't have IT, they are just a regular season team who entertains with the best of them. Not really a secret to those who knows playoff basketball.

With the Nuggets again eliminated in the first round of the playoffs again, should George Karl be Denver's coach next season?

Asked after the game what the younger players might have learned from this series, veteran Nuggets guard Andre Miller said: "Nothing, nothing. We got outplayed, we got out coached, out-toughed."

Nuggicks fans say sompin.

I'm not a Nuggets fan but it's not clear we would have beaten GSW either. We're looking mediocre against a much lighter opponent.

are they, Boston seems the better defensive team. You right about it not being clear though. It's never clear until they play

They're almost a 50 win team in the west. Boston is a .500 team in the east that would have been 10th seed at best in the west.

what did all those western Ws get Denver? it's not always how you get there it's what you do when you get there.

You'll always find an exception - it doesn't mean regular season record is unimportant. Look at how rare it is for the team with the worse seed to advance.
Either way, that doesn't change what I said - Boston would just be watching now if they were in the west.

if they were in the west they would have had a different schedule and different game plans. Who knows what they would be like.

Ohh I just have to go against play2, because I'm not a Nuggicks fan.

At the same time he's taken 3 different teams to a CF and 1 team to a Finals. Not many coaches can say they've done this.

Bonn1997 wrote:That's a pretty desperate argument IMO. Boston won only 19 of their 42 games against over .500 teams and were only a .500 team in the east. They're old, slow dinosaurs. No way they make it in the west. It would be a miracle if they actually improved their W-L record out west to 45-37.

That may be true, but I expected more from you. We all know despite how Boston plays in the regular season they are a playoff team. That's the only thing that matters to most veterans. All the mistakes and lack of defense that GS exhibited will not be tolerated in Boston. So you can call them old, and slow but for how many years have people been saying this? Some fans were very delusional to think we would sweep these guys, they don't give up. Always had this series going 6-7 games.

How do you propose Denver get better?

- Igoudala is opting out.

- Gallinari wont be back until probably January and likely wont be playing at a very high level.

They need an Eric Gordon or O.J. Mayo or Tony Allen type player. They have resources (our assets alone) and financials to get those type of players. They also need Faried and McGee(still very young not close to prime) to develop into what they should be. That's how close they are.

It's amazing what Draymond Greens and Harrison Barnes can do for a team....

And you are correct bonn, in the west boston would be home watching...
