After the Nuggets blowout loss in game four of their first round series with the Warriors, Kenneth Faried kicked a hole in the Nuggets locker room wall. Today he kicked a hole in George Karl.
In an article published today by USA Today, Faried told Sam Amick: “I think we need to just throw everything out the window that we’ve been trying to do, because it’s not working. We need to go to something else, something that’s going to work. Something that is going to help us win.” In other words, our coach isn’t getting the job done. It’s George Karl’s job, after all, to determine what’s “going to work”.
It wasn’t Faried alone who criticized Karl’s approach in a veiled way. Wilson Chandler told Amick, “We need to get a sense of urgency, to come out tougher, to come out and compete. They’re beating us in every aspect. When they hit shots like that, it’s tough. But you’ve got to find something. You have to find a way to compete, a way to win. I don’t think we’re fighting hard enough.”
Ty Lawson chipped in, too, saying, “We have to figure something out. We’re playing well. We’re knocking down shots. But there’s just spurts where they just go off. Either we’ve got to call more timeouts or give a foul or something to slow somebody down. I don’t know.”
Well, Ty, We don’t know either.
Hopefully something can change for game five tonight at Pepsi Center. But, even if the Nuggets can find a way to beat the Warriors tonight, they will still trail in the series two games to three heading back to Oakland for game six. It’s not looking good. Denver probably faces another first round elimination and all of the questions that go along with it.
