ESPN and CBS Are Now Showing Iverson as the Starting PG for the Nuggets

ESPN and CBS are now showing A.I. as the starting PG for the Nuggets! This is great news. Now Karl can not run the too small and too slow Atkins-A.I. backcourt all day, because Atkins is out 6-8 weeks and Carter is out until mid-November. You never want to see injuries, but these start of the season injuries are a blessing in disguise for the Nuggets because they force their small guard loving Coach to change his ways.

The injuries indirectly force Karl to stop relying on just Iverson and Melo for scoring, because now he has to play A.I. at the point all day. Now we will get to see alot more of Linas Kleiza and Bobby Jones. The injuries also force the Coach to play J.R. Smith. I know Smith is very difficult to manage, but the Nuggets have got to get points and steals from somewhere other than just Melo-A.I..

I'm sick of the J.R. Smith soap opera and him sitting on the bench. J.R. deserves another full and total chance to play. If he blows it, then the Nuggets will know they have to trade him. To have him just sit on the bench and be a soap opera is not doing anyone any good. It's almost impossible to imagine that the Nuggets can reach the West final or the NBA final with J.R. sitting on the bench all year.
