I am pretty sure that I am not the only one, but who else is pretty damn excited that George Karl has not been offered a multi-year contract to stay with this team in the future? I am elated. Though this may sound pretty messed up, I am actually a little happy that the Nuggets are losing now, when George is expecting a contract for all of the "hard work" he has done in solidifying the Nuggets as a legitimate contender in the league, though that was all Chauncey. Hopefully this will be a serious kick in the pants for Karl to get his chunky ass off of the bench and call timeouts when the time appropriates for it. Some examples from the Nugs-Mavs game: Anyone else notice that Chauncey was the one in the middle of many huddles and doing most of the coaching during the timeouts? Also, when there were free throws, he would pull aside some players and instruct them. Correct me if I am wrong, but I haven't seen George do that since circa 2005. Why? Can we please tell George to stay home like the Rockets did to T-Mac and let Adrian Dantley get a crack at doing some coaching? It seems like he actually knows what he is talking about and cares about the direction of the team. I remember a game against the Lakers in 2007, a game that they really needed to make the playoffs, that AD coached and they responded so well to him, only allowing the Lakers to like 14 points in the 4th and Kobe to like only 4. He was getting off of the bench and telling guys where to go and the players were actually listening to him in team huddles. AD was doing this during the time the Nuggets had probably the most volatile team in the league. I truly hope AD can coach some games, and with Chauncey as his floor general, I really think some magic can be made with this team with a sense of rejuvenation and spirited team basketball. What do you guys think? Sound off on comments.

PS: Sorry for the extremely long rant. I just really needed to vent with people who really care about Nuggets basketball. Out here in DC, it is hard to even see a basketball or a football fan since both of those teams here lose games quicker than a bucket of chicken vanishes in front of Oprah. I'm out.
