Nuggets aren’t odd. They’re just well coached. George Karl looks to who is producing, when he puts his team on the floor, not who has the most accolades or who’s making the most money. That’s liberating in the NBA of our time.

Size has always gotten contracts, so it’s not really a surprise that Javale McGee is making so much money. He is playing the minutes he should be when you’re looking at his play.

It is not odd that you wan’t your veteran PG to run the show when the chips are down. Miller has always been able to contribute with scoring even though he’s not a premier 3pt shooter. He’s averaging 13.9 ppg for his career, and he has always been exceptional in running a team.

I’ll agree that Iggy not playing late is surprising because he has played well this year, but if he wasn’t playing well in this game, or if Brewer was playing better, I think Karl’s choice make a lot of sense.

You may call us odd but most teams wouldn’t want to face us in the playoffs.

Gotta love the Nugs. Some GMs need to get a slap on the wrist for letting Faried drop, but still.. I love watching this “odd” team.

Corey Brewer has really come into his own since joining DEN. Nice to see him not just be another useless former T-Wolves wing player-lottery pick.
