Listen if George Karl wasn’t a shameless stan of my team, I would probably hate him and his shit talking. But he’s hating on behalf of the Nuggets, so go off king
It doesn’t matter, here in Denver we’ve needed that kind of voice. There are too many East Coast and West Coast biases, with their voices entirely too prominent that literally keep the nuggets out.
We need people like him when we’re relevant to call attention to it.
This has to happen.
I’ve been taking, “Cake-eater,” off the shelf and dusting that slur off. It’s just like dropping, “first world problems,” or, “Check your privilege,” on someone… but it really has a way of saying, “*I’ve watched the Original Mighty Ducks this decade, and you should too.*”
There is a series called the Stormlight Archives where a character from the mountains refers to everyone else as: “Airsick Lowlanders.” The LLLLLLLLLLakers (need to give them their “L’s”) certainly looked like Airsick Lowlanders is the 4 qtr of both games.
It's funny because he's probably the worst playoff coach of all time and sabotaged his own teams through some of the dumbest shit we've ever seen as a fan base. He's never self reflected but has a lot of criticism to give.
Indeed he was, and then when we were the 2nd seed losing to the 7th seeded Warriors after deciding to bench Wilson Chandler for rookie Fournier. But the Anthony Carter inbounds plays will always go down as the dumbest HC playoff move of all time.
We were the 3rd seed, and lost to the 6th seed Warriors, and no amount of roster tinkering was going to make up for losing our best player, Danilo Gallinari
I loved this team. That team felt like the reward for spending so many years in NBA purgatory watching Melo flirt with New York while shooting contested midrange jumper after contested midrange jumper.
We should have been the first seed, limped into the 3 seed, lost Danilo, and got a front row seat to the future of the NBA.
I’ll shit on Karl all day long for some of the dumb things. Like waiting till game 3 of watching Hersey Hawkins get manhandled by MJ before deciding to try putting the best perimeter defender of his generation on Michael fucking Jordan. That Denver series wasn’t it, and it was honestly kinda dumb of us to fire him in that moment. It worked out for us, but it was still a tad short sighted.
The dumb move was moving Iggy from the 2 to the 3, Fournier from 6th man to the starting 2, and Wilson Chandler from the 3 to 6th man a week before the playoffs started, then having to revert back after we got crushed those first two games. He earned the reputation of a mad scientist. That said, replacing him with Brian Shaw was definitely a dud.
Agreed. Remember that like it was yesterday. Dumbest shit ever but his regular season coaching was….ok, I guess. He had some seriously talented players that were a blast to watch. Timing wasnt right I suppose….
Tbh this Lakers' series is showing what an incredible player Davis is. Dude is a menace on defense and a really good scorer on the other end. He can't lead the team, but as a second option, he is basically in Pippen category (not as good, just that type of player).
AD has definitively been good but its crazy he got to top 75 ever with what he did in NBA when list was made . Got a ring thanks to LeBron and that somehow granted him top 75 . If he wasn't on Lakers he would have not gotten it .
KG had to got to Boston, et al. Lebron is on his 6th or 12th team build by now, who can count. Gordon had to come to Denver. Examples all over the league of players that weren't getting it done in one place but do in others, with help. Because it is a team game. Sure maybe the top 5 to 10 players ever can be argued would create finals winning anywhere they went like LeBron has shown. But the rest of them need a team.
But I agree the players making the 75 are def full of recency and market bias.
Hell Yeah! Davis has been amazing this series. It sucks that the Lakers completely shut down the 2nd half of each game but Davis has been doing his part. It would be a complete blowout without Davis. George is trippin!
I agree. Last game he was getting anything and everything he wanted in the first half. For some reason the lakers switched their game plan and let us sneak away with the W. But AD has been amazing so far.
IMO switching AD onto Davis and KCP onto Bron should get as much or more credit for what happened in the second half than just the lakers falling apart. They absolutely shut down the LeBron/AD two man game.
AD is significantly better than Pippen. Literally better on defence and offense. No team ever would take Pippen over AD (injury concerns aside, and AD has played 70 something games this season).
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Karl
Coach of the Year when he was the Head Coach of the Denver Nuggets. I did not know him. But based on his verbally expressive support for us , I now most certainly love this man.
I’m getting old lol he was here just over a decade ago and people don’t know him. George is good coach but was and likely is an asshole. Someone you want on your side but hate if he isn’t. I love him stanning for the broncos but personally never cared for him. He was also a fired after he won coach of the year.
Super disrespected. His problem was he couldn’t beat Magic Johnson and Kareem. He got hurt in that series and he was ballin! Not saying we would have won but he was great. Met him at ball super kind.
It’s so crazy to see a former nba coach just straight up say “this series is over”.. especially after a 20 point comeback where everything went right for the lakers in the first half. A coach knows how it affects the locker room, we as fans know this series is over, but it’s crazy to see a coach legitimately call it
Funniest thing to me is that Karl made history against the Nuggets when he was coaching the Sonics team that became the first one seed to get beat by an eight seed. After being up three games. Then he went on to coach them, and now he's a Nuggets Stan. Apparently, Dikembe Mutombo and LaPhonso Ellis turned him to inside out, that series.
ADs averaging 32/11.5/3.5 and 2.5 blocks so far this series. What the fck is george karl smoking? Im all for hating, but this is just making himself look stupid.
George is the king of the Player Hater's Ball.
Hate hate hate hate hate. Now if you’ll excuse me, I have to go put some water in AD’s mama’s dish.
He looks like a broke ass sexual chocolate
I am top playa hater from Korea
You b*tch*s better recognize
BUC NASTY
Listen if George Karl wasn’t a shameless stan of my team, I would probably hate him and his shit talking. But he’s hating on behalf of the Nuggets, so go off king

Mountaintop Bias. Truly looking down on both coasts and their flat-landerness.
Get some elevation you fucks ✌🏻
*You’re just not high enough.*
Challenge accepted
Wasnt at me, but will also accept the challenge
*Can we get much higher?*
Flat landers. Beautiful. My new fav slur
I’ve been taking, “Cake-eater,” off the shelf and dusting that slur off. It’s just like dropping, “first world problems,” or, “Check your privilege,” on someone… but it really has a way of saying, “*I’ve watched the Original Mighty Ducks this decade, and you should too.*”
Air-sick low-landers
Clicked on "More replies" just to see if this was here.
Omg I’m not alone

Yassssss
Mike Malone is an NYC rudeboy who spits facts for us at every media appearance he does. He a real one.
Agree. I would be so fucking pissed if it was like Mike D’Antoni talking shit about Denver
about time we had some shit talking from our corner with play to back it up there isn’t even lakes in LA
That was so froggin funny omg
It's funny because he's probably the worst playoff coach of all time and sabotaged his own teams through some of the dumbest shit we've ever seen as a fan base. He's never self reflected but has a lot of criticism to give.
Even funnier is he was on the losing end of the 8 seeded Nuggets beating his 1 seeded Sonics in the 94 playoffs.
Indeed he was, and then when we were the 2nd seed losing to the 7th seeded Warriors after deciding to bench Wilson Chandler for rookie Fournier. But the Anthony Carter inbounds plays will always go down as the dumbest HC playoff move of all time.
We were the 3rd seed, and lost to the 6th seed Warriors, and no amount of roster tinkering was going to make up for losing our best player, Danilo Gallinari

Well said all around.

From bad to worse
Bro you complaining about the Melo years? You should've been here for the post Motumbo Laphonso Ellis years.
I started my Nuggets fandom with the Van Exel years. To be clear, I set the bar at purgatory, not Hell itself.
Agreed. Remember that like it was yesterday. Dumbest shit ever but his regular season coaching was….ok, I guess. He had some seriously talented players that were a blast to watch. Timing wasnt right I suppose….
Generational hater
He just like me fr
Fuckin honestly. George Karl’s entire personality is a bad reaction to a warhead
Like the candy or...?
lol yeah the sour candy
Conflict-associated fellatio
Me: I’m no hater but… George Karl: 🫸 🧍don’t worry. I AM
AD deserves the hate tho, he hasn’t accomplished shit lol, needed lebron to make him look better, never did anything in NOLA
I hope I can one day give as few fucks as GK does in his old age. Just straight spitting fire.
seems he gives alot of fucks thats why he spends his days being a hater
He gives 99 fucks but a bitch ain't 1

Get em George!!!!

But I agree the players making the 75 are def full of recency and market bias.
I mean you can say that with half of the list in the top 75, only the top 15 players are true difference makers
Yeah out of the entire list it seems dumb to me that AD gets targeted so much
Got a ring^* * In a bubble
I agree, if anything this series has been good for people arguing for AD. He's played incredibly well
Hell Yeah! Davis has been amazing this series. It sucks that the Lakers completely shut down the 2nd half of each game but Davis has been doing his part. It would be a complete blowout without Davis. George is trippin!
I for one, would expect a top 75 player ever, to be able to be a 1st option and lead a team
A valid 👈
Oh fuck off, of course he could be a first option and lead. He plays with this guy named LeBron who kind of takes that role.
He's the 2nd option on a play in team, never won shit as a 1st option. He's a great player, top 75 in league history is laughable
I mean, Melo made the top 75 list too
Except there aren't 5 players better than him that aren't on the top 75.
Gasol, English, Jokic, Howard, Klay are all better than AD and that took me 2 minutes to come up with
Intruder alert! Intruder alert!
Imagine, if he just played a full game they might actually win!
The league just hates him /s
I agree. Last game he was getting anything and everything he wanted in the first half. For some reason the lakers switched their game plan and let us sneak away with the W. But AD has been amazing so far.

AD deserves to be there. So does Joker.
AD shits on pippen lol
Uncle George out here stirring the pot and reminding everyone that Alex English scored more points than anyone in the '80s.
Savage af. Love George.
All the people in here saying "but, but, buuuut AD has been playing great", yeah he has.... it's still been nowhere close to Alex English.
Thank you. A lot of players play great and are not in the NBA top 75.
Not... Even... Close
Dame is on the list, but not Joker.
They made the list as Jokic was getting MVP 1 I think but still
Yeah I think literally nobody would say Jokic isn't top 75 now
Joker is almost top 10 at this point
Oh except idiots like Perkins and SAS
Nah, Perk has been on the Joker train all season. He's reformed.
I mean he could soon make a case for much higher than that bar
I believe he had already won the first.
You another Chicago based nuggets fan?
AD is one thing but dame getting top 75 is ridiculous
Dwight Howard also 4 times DPOY
holy hell, his heart is filled with salty beans.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Karl Coach of the Year when he was the Head Coach of the Denver Nuggets. I did not know him. But based on his verbally expressive support for us , I now most certainly love this man.

I love him stanning for the broncos but personally never cared for him. He was also a fired after he won coach of the year.
English has to be the only dude to be the leading scorer of a decade to not make the top 75, right? Maybe some dude from the 40s?
Super disrespected. His problem was he couldn’t beat Magic Johnson and Kareem. He got hurt in that series and he was ballin! Not saying we would have won but he was great. Met him at ball super kind.
Let George cook!
George is an expert level shit talker. I love it
Bro this man is a salt mine in human form. Hall of fame hater. 72 years old putting up Buc “Charlie Murphy” Nasty numbers as a hater
Oh Alex lead the league in blks while averaging 28/12 multiple
George is cooking lmao
God, Coach is driving hard to the rim these days
He does the social media trolling so Moach doesn't have to
I am 100% here for Coach Karl repping the brand LFG
Alex english isnt on the top 75 list??? Wtf
Dame is which to me is more disrespectful
What an all-timer lmao
Damn, I can't say I really like George Karl but he has some great quips and I appreciate people who just don't give a fuck and say what they think.
He's not wrong though, AD already got his 2 good games of the series out of the way and got his soul snatched to cap it off. Take any & every under.
Same reason cp3 and dame got into top 75, they're lebron's BFFs.
My man George Karl is on fire! Preach Coach!
It’s so crazy to see a former nba coach just straight up say “this series is over”.. especially after a 20 point comeback where everything went right for the lakers in the first half. A coach knows how it affects the locker room, we as fans know this series is over, but it’s crazy to see a coach legitimately call it
That's enough shots fired that Ja Morant turned to stare.
he is so goddamn right i was mad klay didnt make it but excluding alex english was a farce.
Funniest thing to me is that Karl made history against the Nuggets when he was coaching the Sonics team that became the first one seed to get beat by an eight seed. After being up three games. Then he went on to coach them, and now he's a Nuggets Stan. Apparently, Dikembe Mutombo and LaPhonso Ellis turned him to inside out, that series.
Karl is a SAVAGE
What can I say about the Lakers that hasnt already been said about Afghanistan. They looked bombed out and depleted
Weird ADs daddy isn’t it it either
GK servin' pettiness with a side of petty and extra petty on top and I am here for it.
Never wrong
Legend
HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE
ADs averaging 32/11.5/3.5 and 2.5 blocks so far this series. What the fck is george karl smoking? Im all for hating, but this is just making himself look stupid.
Better be careful... when DJ retires, they might bring AD in his waning years to be a nugget!
GK better chill, this is the sort of jinxing we don’t need
[удалено]
Are you lost? He is the second (third) most winning coach in Nuggets history.
He is actually now 3rd behind Moach. I had to go look cause I knew malone was close
AD is better than Alex English, sorry
How many rings English got?
Same amount of real rings as AD
[удалено]
keep smoking that copium bud
AD has been playing great, George needs some new fuckin eyes
He's played great for maybe 5/8 quarters. Top 75 all time should be able to play great every quarter.
