damn GSW almost gave that one away with all those crazy inbound plays. I'm happy for Mark Jax and DLee. It would've been easier to root for both of those teams had they played other teams.
Denver is still young and have a bright future. They'll be alright.

Denver should be proud though, they fought hard and never gave up. They'll be back I ain't even mad. The only thing disappointing is not watching another game by these two teams.
Denver should be proud??..Hahahah..alternate universe???..Denver was picked by some alnalysis as the third likely team to win it all...Karl gets a pass again ...MDA gets a pass..If Woody and the Knicks don't make it to the ECF, there will be hell to pay...
damn, Karl is somber right now
Anyone still wants to argue the altitude wasn't a home court advantage...Losing road record don't lie...

Hey GSW did Dallas dirty several yrs back. Playing that team at Oracle is no joke or in general when they make the playoffs. Denver should have beat them though. They deserve some heat but they have upside and a bright future. They'll be back a couple more tweaks and they're set.
If we don't take care of business as OKC and Clippers you're looking at 4 potential higher seeds going home early.
Karl said the series loss is on him....way to man up..but he'll get them far again.
I remembered being mocked for wanting Mark Jackson over
...
No one wants to say it, but Houston is playing better without Lin...Maybe the reason McHale is holding him out...Does Houston try to trade Lin and that ridiculous contract???..
Can't believe no one has brought this up...Errr, actually I can...
Denver why you lose to a team who doesn't play D

I doubt it unless he improves a great deal. He has time and is still young. Will need to learn how to play off the ball better.

The fit for Mark Jax in GSW is better than it would've been with us right now. But I like him as a coach. Maybe he'll return to NY at some point in the future.

5 years ago...With a young team...MkJax would have been good..But Woody is a good fit with this squad...

Bogut was a beast at times this series. Really surprised me as I thought he was done last year.
Nuggets had a great regular season, and a poor playoffs. Not really sure how much they can improve with the current roster. Gallo might be worse last year, Wilson is what he is at this point, like most of their players. Not really sure what roster moves they need to make to get better.
I don't believe in that 'if you don't win a championship the entire season is a failure' spiel that people use to gauge the success of our seasons, so I think Denver had a good year overall.
However, a lot of people are talking about Denver failing, which takes away from what the Warriors accomplished- they played great, much better than I expected from a young team.

I honestly don't think any team would take his $8mil per year salary. Maybe next year when he's an expiring. He doesn't really complement Harden, and is overpaid, but he played okay this season.
Denver loses the series just like I said, you don't win in the 2nd season with 2nd and 3rd fiddle players and a coach who should retire and take care of his health.His assistants do most of the coaching from what KARL SAID IN A INTERVIEW.
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.

Same here. My guess if that happened everything would
D be different max loves centers so the Knicks probably take broods instead of gallo to split time with chandler. My guess would be they take Jennings the following year or another point from that class.

Morale low? Nuggets playoff tickets went for $3 for Game 5 vs. Golden State on Tuesday April 30th.
Stress was mounting for George Karl and his Nuggets before Game 5 of their playoff series against Golden State. But
for fans, the feeling may be ennui (or doldrums? malaise?).
Tickets to Tuesday night’s game in Denver that was a do-or-die game for the Nuggets can be had for the bottom-basement price of $3 on StubHub (as of 4 p.m.) LOL
There were nearly 30 tickets available for less than $10.
Now I know why Melo wanted out of there with Karl as head coach.

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.
George Karl has gotten out of the first round in Denver once in 8 trips to the playoffs. He also lost in the first round twice in Seatle when he had Kemp and Payton and his team was winning close to 60 games every year.
