Wed, 19 Nov 2008 01:12:57 +0000 http://dimemag.com/?p=4138#comment-90334 Oh and a prime example of how Karl didnt know how to Coach Iverson..you can go back to that 50+ game Iverson had last year. Iverson was shooting like 80% in that game and was making all his shots..in the 4th quarter, Karl told Iverson to pass the ball, and that cost them the game. I remember Reggie Miller going off about it the next night during commentary. If that was Phil Jackson or even Coach Brown, they would have rode Iverson untill the wheels feel off during that game. Everyone knows when a player is that hot..you dont take the ball out their hands. Iverson didnt cause any problems with the Coaching staff in Denver, Karl has been on record saying that out of all his players..Iverson was the only one that never talked back..but if that was the old Iverson from Philly, that night Karl told AI to pass the ball and they end up losing, Iverson would have cursed Karl smooth out. So before come up in here talking about "Karls right" and "Iverson hasn't changed"...give the guy some credit, he went to Denver and tried to fit in with that team, cutting back his game, at times far too much. I always said if a player like Iverson is going to sacrifice his game..then it needs to be on a REAL contender, the Nuggets were not worth his time, nor was it worth him sacrficing the way that he did. Karl knows good and well Iverson played the SG roll in Denver and the times he was the PG was at the beginning of the season when both their PG's were injured..and even then their record was like 20-2 when Iverson got a double-double. If all the Nuggets needed was a traditional PG (maybe they shouldnt have traded off their first one) or a 'sidekick' to Melo, then maybe they should have thought about that before making a trade for a guy that holds the third highest PPG average in the history of the league. And maybe they should have thought about that before making a trade for a player that is greater and bigger star then the 'franchise player' they already had. Disgusting.

Wed, 19 Nov 2008 01:02:46 +0000 http://dimemag.com/?p=4138#comment-90330 I understand that people love throwing Iverson under the bus and he's an easy target..he can share accountibility for his part in Philly, but Denver wasnt his fault. The Nuggets were 1 and done in the playoffs for three seasons strait before Iverson with a traditional PG (Milller)...and were one and done with Iverson. Anytime your team cant win more then one game in the first round, that is a reflection of the Coach period. Iverson toned down his game a lot in Denver, but it doesnt matter how much Iverson changes his game you'll still get the same people up in here saying the same sh*t anyways, so what difference does it make. To say that organization doesnt know what it is doing when it comes to building teams is an understatement. They basically traded away their PG for a combo gaurd in Iverson without ever addressing the backcourt issue, just to turn around and trade off Iverson for a PG similar to the one they had in the first place. I think the Nuggets are basically back to being the team they were before Iverson, pretty much stagnent. I think Billups can help maintain that undisciplined offense..but to act as if they are better is hilarious. That team still has work to do, people are getting hyped because they are 5-1 since the trade? They only one team with a winning recoerd and most of their games have been at home, I would hope they would beat the lottery teams. Did Iverson take some bad shots at times? Yes...so does every star in the L..so did everyone else on the team. That team was proably the most undisciplined team I have ever seen in my life, and also one of the laziest. Most of what I wanted to say has already been said, but I will say that the Nuggets made a trade for Iverson with no plan in place..and it was more then obvious that Karl didnt know how to utilize AI's skills. Its refreshing watching Iverson play in Detroit because he is back to playing like he played in Philly and the Coach is using Iverson the way he needs to be used. The Nuggets aquired Iverson just to turn around and handcuff his game. The Nuggets need to be happy Iverson ever even came through that joint, considering that he is probably the only H.O.F player they will ever get a chance to witness play night to night..and if it wasnt for him they wouldnt even had been in the playoffs last season..the main reason a lot of people even paid attention to the Nuggets was because of Iverson and the only reason why they would be paying attention now is to see what the Nuggets do without him. That organization and some of the Nuggets fans need to worry about their own supposed "franchise player" and quit worring about Iverson so much, because maybe if Melo were to live up to even half the hype some of the Nuggets fans try to put him up to, maybe that organization wouldnt have to go out and aquire other star players to help save that garbage franchise. Im glad Iversons gone from Denver...they werent going to do anything with him, wont do anything without him. Hopefully Chauncey can at least help them win more then one game in the playoffs. I wish Iverson would have gotten traded strait from Philly to Detroit..therefor, he wouldnt have wasted a season and a half of his career. The Nuggets wasted that dudes time, they knew good and well they were not ready to contend when they made the trade for AI. Seems like they just used him for the national attention and merchandise sales. Real talk.
