Denver Nuggets Thoughts

Will Coach Brian Shaw be fired? I personally to this day will never understand why coach George Karl was fired.
Last year I feel it was injuries that killed this team. This year I feel there should be less excuse for this team to not make it to at least the 8th seed. This team has some great depth, but for some reason under coach Brian Shaw it doesn't gel together.
I personally would like to see them fire Brian Shaw and bring in Mark Jackson or Avery Johnson.
I want to see this team go more run and gun like it did under George Karl.
Great win for the Nuggets. Nice to see Wilson Chandler scoring. Ty Lawson is to me the best player on this team.
At the deadline I feel the only two pieces that may be untouchable are Ty Lawson and Kenneth Faried. I could see maybe everyone else being possibly traded for young assets and draft picks.
Kenneth Faried added 8 points, 10 rebounds, 3/7 FG, and 2/3 FT
The Nuggets shot 48 percent for the game
Nuggets had 42 rebounds, 30 defensive and 12 offensive boards. Good job on the glass

Oklahoma City Thunder Thoughts

At 3-10 it is showing, this team is lost without Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook.
There is a little part of me saying sit Durant and Westbrook out to try for a top 5 draft pick. There are some quality pieces at the top of the draft. Jahill Okafor, Karl Anthony-Towns, Miles Turner has moved up.
Right now it has to be the Reggie Jackson and Serge Ibaka show.
Am shocked by the performance by Sebastian Telfair. I always feel and still do that he is an NBA Bust. I'm hoping this game will build up his confidence because I don't want to see any player fail.

Final Thoughts

I want to see the Nuggets improve over last year. One of my favorite players on this squad is Nate Robinson. This team has some great depth with Mozgov, Faried, Chandler, Affalo, Lawson, McGee, Arthur, Gallinari, Harris, Robinson. I feel it's tougher for Denver now with some of the other teams in the Western Conference on the rise. I don't want to suggest that Denver stink it up, but if they were to land a top 5 draft pick who could be a franchise changing player, I feel it would help them. What are your thoughts on this game? Do you think the Nuggets could make the playoffs? Would you like to see a different coach in Denver? Send me your thoughts. Thank you for reading Pro Basketball Hoops Land.
