Message: [QUOTE="DoctorBombay, post: 571625, member: 626"] The Nuggets will lose in the 2nd Round for the same exact reasons they always did- too many good/great players (Lawson, Farried, Chandler, Gallinari) and no superstar a la, OKC, Spurs, Lakers, Clippers, etc. I really like Lawson and Farried, but they are not superstars, at least not yet. During crunch time the last coupla years, Lawson wasn't enough, Gallo wasn't enough, Chandler(?)...really? So who's gonna carry you in a game 7 against Durant/Westbrook, or Griffin/Paul, or Kobe/Howard, or Duncan/Parker? Add to this that George Karl SUCKS as a big-game HC and Denver will continue doing what they did when Melo was there- win lotsa regular season games, and lose in the playoffs. The NBA is a superstar's league- you gather as many as you can (minimum 2) to counter everyone else's. The last "very good buncha players/team" to win it all, sans superstars, was the Bad Boy Pistons...and Denver is NOT them. JMHO [/QUOTE]
