skizzikmonger Member	posted May 03, 2013 01:06 AM quote: Originally posted by junichi: IMO, I think Denver overachieved in the regular season. Without a true super star, it's pretty hard to win a playoff series. I can't disagree with you, but with the exception of one fluke season, they weren't any better in the playoffs when they had a superstar. Nuggets playoff results under George Karl (w/ Melo): 05: L Rd 1 4-1 05/06: L Rd 1 4-1 06/07: L Rd 1 4-1 07/08: L Rd 1 4-0 08/09: 10-6 overall, L Conf Finals 4-2 09/10*: L Rd 1 4-2 10/11: L Rd 1 4-1 11/12: L Rd 1 4-3 12/13: L Rd 1 4-2 The only common denominator since Jan 05 is George Karl (hired 1/27/05). He's overrated, and it was time for him to go after game 2. [Edited 1 times, lastly by skizzikmonger on May 03, 2013]
Kyosukee Member	posted May 03, 2013 04:16 AM An extremely sloppy 4th quarter, but I'm excited for this Spurs/Warriors matchup. Experience v Youth and some really fun positional matchups.

He's overrated, and it was time for him to go after game 2.* I would say this is still a very successful season for Denver, and 57 win is no joke. The team is quite young (except for Andre x 2), so the future definitely looks good. fake edit: I swear Iguodala is an old fart! Didn't know he is under 30. __________________ (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻ "Whip the Xs Pinch the Os What we're building, no one knows"
CubFan81 Member	posted May 05, 2013 05:27 AM Well, that was fun. Bring on the Heatles.
CubFan81 Member	posted May 07, 2013 09:33 AM I'll ride the train as long as it keeps running. That GS-SA game was also pretty great. Curry is on fire from darn near everywhere.
junichi Moderator	posted May 14, 2013 05:14 PM I don't want to jinx the team, but I am very impressed with Memphis. __________________ (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻ "Whip the Xs Pinch the Os What we're building, no one knows"

choco man Member	posted May 19, 2013 05:19 PM grizzlies get spanked. Spurs were up 2-0 vs OKC last yrs West Finals before dropping four in a row. Maybe they will wear down and not shot 50% from three-pt again. [Edited 1 times, lastly by choco man on May 20, 2013]

choco man Member	posted June 10, 2013 01:07 AM I missed the last two games.
burdianex New Member	posted June 11, 2013 04:53 AM Lakers has no team effort and team work so thats why they lose.
choco man Member	posted June 11, 2013 04:04 PM quote: Originally posted by burdianex: Lakers has no team effort and team work so thats why they lose. That came out of nowhere.
broiler1977 Member	posted June 11, 2013 08:41 PM quote: Originally posted by burdianex: Lakers has no team effort and team work so thats why they lose. You don't win with X's and O's, you win with Jim's and Joe's. The lakers are too old. It should be Kobe, Dwight and a bunch of young roleplaying, high-energy kids. Nash was a mistake. Bigger mistake: Mike D'antoni. Just ask Knick fans I remember when George Karl was coaching the Supersonics with Payton and Kemp. He said if he didn't win a title in 3 years he would leave. Five years later, he left with no titles. Lost all respect for him after that. He can't win in the playoffs. Denver's personnel is awesome. Great, gutsy firing.
