Turmoil to follow

ESPN gave our team a sobering preview of the season to come: http://myespn.go.com/blogs/truehoop/0-34-63/Turmoil-to-Follow.html 

We managed to beat out the Warriors, Suns and Knicks as the team most likely to descent into turmoil in 08-09! We have already discussed similair articles, but there are a few points I'd pull them up on:

1.. Nuggets are regretting letting go of Andre Miller because look at how well the 76rs did without AI last year.

The Nuggets won a ton more games with AI than without him. Plus we are competing in the actual NBA, i.e. not the east, which means our making the playoffs was a significantly more impressive feat than Philly making it.

 

2. Rockets got a few votes as a team that could descent? Wtf?

 

3.Allen Iverson didn't get his extension, which at his age and contract demands was understandable but may not exactly have him thinking team-first right now.

The fact that AI is in what may be his last season as a Nugget mean that our SUPERSTAR SCORING GUARD will EXPLODE. God-damn. People refuse to acknowledge how incredible a basketball asset that guy is for some reason. Put the man on the floor and he will give you 25 points. Peroid.  Is that such a bad thing?

4. J.R. Smith now has more years on his contract than George Karl, which makes you wonder how that relationship will continue to fester.

Karl loves JR.
