George O'Brien said:I think the Nuggets do have a good team. I also think they have some holes just as the Suns have some holes. The Sun's main hole is at center.
The Nuggets weakness is that lack of a dominant low post player. Martin is OK, but he gets most of his points in the fast break rather than in the low post. By contrast, Stoudemire is one of the better low post guys in the NBA.
is amare better than kmart? yes. a lot better? no.
plus we have nene and camby.
Until the Suns have a quality center, they will struggle. But I think the Nuggets lack of a domiant low post player will hold them back as well.
fair enough but not only did we add an allstar BIG MAN (who are more valuble than guards), we had i think 14 more wins last year to start with.
i could easily say, but wont, that denver will end up better. and in fact, read other boards - 90-95% of non suns/non nuggets fans agree with me.
so i think we have a shot! (frankly im just concnered about making the playoffs...the suns are just ONE team we have to worry about...along with the grizzlies, rockets, jazz, dallas, lakers, portland, etc)
