Why do you think the nuggets got swept in the playoffs?

Question

evan with Allen Iverson an Carmelo Anthony why you think they got swept

Answer 1

It's pretty simple man.....they couldnt stop me from dropping 50 on them.

Plus, AI is a very overated player.  He is a great individual player but nothing more.  He is NOT a steve nash kinda player who makes everyone around him better (alos chris paul).  Everyone said "AI just dopesnt have any talent in Philly"  

Hmmmmm......lets see.  They had plenty of talent in Denver, so whats the excuse now.  And Philly ( a team with no talent apparently) nearly beat the pistons in the playoffs.  Which by the way were absent from there with AI for the last few years?

Coincidental.  I think not....So all you AI fans out there....whats the excuse now?

Answer 2

the didn't have the will to win an NBA title

Answer 3

Team chemistry, they had offense(Iverson, Melo) and they had defense(Camby and Martin) but they didnt believe in each other

Answer 4

karl doesnt push em enough, hes not strict enough. they had no passion in tht series. the players jus didnt seem to want to play

Answer 5

That is just that.

The Nugs only have AI,Melo,and a good prospect in Linas Klezia.

The rest are non-contributers.

If they want to contend-they need to-

1-Get a pass 1st PG

2-Get Big men that actually produce

3-hire a new coach.

Answer 6

they are not teamwork,, carmelo and ai plays individually..

plus they are they are very lousy in defense..

they are not good defenders..

Answer 7

2-3 years ago people were saying denver is the future. now people are saying blazers are the future. in the nba the future is always next year. they never win this year.

Answer 8

thats the end of that team now Camby gone to Clippers. Its a shame with the talent in this squad & winning 50 games last season.

Answer 9

They have no defense.

Answer 10

They struggled on defense.

Answer 11

Easy, no defence.

"Offence wins games, defence wins championships."

And AI & Anthony only really care for AI or Anthony on the court.

Answer 12

They have no defense. I think they should fire Karl and replace him with Avery Johnson. He can get them to play some defense.

Answer 13

Any time a college basketball team plays even a mediocre NBA team like the Lakers, they'll lose.

Answer 14

Usually in the playoffs, games become more of a half court, grind it out affair instead of the up and down, fire at will style the Nuggets were good at.  Looking back most of the recent "offensive" teams have never really succeeded in the post season ie Denver, Phoenix, Dallas (the team a few years back)

Answer 15

They are terrible defensively.

Answer 16

thats a simple answer there defense is what got them sweept in the play office and will countiue to get them swept the last 4 champs in the nba have been defensive focued team simply said defensive wins championship!!

Answer 17

overrated.

no spirit.

the obvious one, "no defense."

or just simply the fact,

that the lakers were a much better team.

Answer 18

Simple. George Karl has and always will coach offensively. While they did have stopping power in Camby (LA bound now), they simply couldn't revert to defense after making an offensive play. Allen Iverson also had EXTREMELY poor shot selection, taking uneccesary runners and not distributing the ball properly.

Answer 19

no defense
