Wanted: Defense and a Coach Who Cares

Recent add spotted on the Kroenke Sports Enterprises website:

Wanted - Professional Basketball Coach with Experience in Team and Individual Defense.

-Professional sports franchise is seeking qualified candidates to coach an incredibly talented but underachieving professional basketball team. Dedication to success and a committment to winning a must. Qualified applicants must have a concept of defense and its role in creating winning basketball teams. Offensive experts and those with zero committment to teaching and preaching the necessity of defense need not apply. Experience dealing with two superstars simultaneously a plus.

After attending Friday's horrific debacle against the Rockets, I am convinced that George Karl is the wrong man for the job. In fact, I think he may be the worst possible coach for the Nuggets. The man has lost it. He doesn't seem to care about coaching, and he clearly has no idea what it takes to win. Jeff Van Gundy's team is not more talented than the Nuggets. Very simply, the Rockets are expertly coached. The Rockets have one legitimate offensive threat and a bunch of role players. But they make things work because they play defense, as individuals and as a team. Until the Nuggets figure that out, they will continue to lose to less talented teams.

Poor fools.

Oh yeah, you should go to this website and read the article on Chad Ford's interview with Nuggets "mastermind" (yeah right) Mark Warkentien The article is entitled "Expensive...But The Shit Look Good, Don't It?" It's hilarious.
