1. You fired George Karl
2. You lost Masai Ujiri
Is it any wonder since joining Toronto, the Raptors have been playing a different brand of basketball. To be quite honest...they remind me of a team I used to know...Melo used to play for them...lol...
I mean I am no expert..but what we have here is a team that for years was predicated on fast break run the floor type basketball now being forced to play the triangle esque offense in a half court set courtesy of Phil Jackson protege Brian Shaw...who should have been hired by Buss. I know its better for Denver in the long run during the playoffs to learn the half court set...06 Phoenix type ball goes no where in the post season....but perhaps its more than just the learning curve...maybe its the players too. Seems like they are starting to tune Shaw out..

After the Nuggets' eighth consecutive loss, 114-102 to Philadelphia on Wednesday night at the Pepsi Center, J.J. Hickson agreed with the notion that the Nuggets have hit rock bottom. But that point may have come earlier, in the second half, when Andre Miller, headed for his first healthy scratch, decided he would verbally take it out on coach Brian Shaw.
