Al Harrington and Brian Butch to the Rescue: Laugh Out Loud, George Karl!

WHAT IS A “LAUGH OUT LOUD, GEORGE KARL!”?
This is supposed to be at least a bimonthly feature where Quest for the Ring (QFTR) takes a break from all the “basketball science” stuff which goes down around here most of the time.

Will this really be a bimonthly or better feature from now on? Maybe, since I have a brand new Production Plan which, unlike previous ones, is definitely something that can work in real life. (I have the full scientific management thing going now, folks.) On the other hand, I have always intended to occasionally mix in light posts with the full scale ones, but have never been able to actually do it. As with almost all other types of posts, I never have had the time to do as many “Laugh out Louds” as I want. Even if I did nothing in life but work on this site, I still would not have enough time to do everything I really want to do. The bottom line is that I will do everything possible to do a Laugh out Loud at least bimonthly, but we know from experience I often simply can not and do not do as many things as I want to or as I predict.

That damned Real Player Ratings Department is hogging all the resources, damn them anyway.

If you don’t know why the “George Karl” comes after the “Laugh Out Loud,” then you do not really understand basketball, you have not read QFTR much, or perhaps you think George Karl is a solid basketball man while QFTR is a garbage site. If that’s you, then you are a worth a laugh out loud yourself, and I wish you a good trip back to the hype zone. How did you ever get here in the first place?

I warn you that at a site this serious about basketball there is technically no such thing as a light and fluffy, meaningless post. Even the Laugh out Loud, George Karl! postings will contain some real information regarding our primary theme: how NBA playoff games and Championships are won and lost. The Laugh out Louds are simply less serious, shorter, and much less scientific renditions of full scale Reports. So you will still find some important information embedded in them if you look for it and think a little.

You will also often see some attempt at summarizing major recent themes and/or upcoming themes.

So put the dog out, take the phone off the hook, kick back, and prepare to “Laugh out Loud, George Karl!”

THE NUGGETS’ INFERIORITY COMPLEX REGARDING THEIR POWER FORWARDS AND CENTERS
This past season, while I should have been covering the Cavaliers and other key teams more than I did, while I was still “stuck on” the Nuggets (which was where this site started in the old days) I reported over and over again that George Karl had chosen Power Forward Renaldo Balkman to be the 2009-10 player who is going to ride the bench all year, no matter what. Every year Karl has to have at least one player who should be playing who is simply not allowed to play except in garbage time, because in Karl’s mind that player is a garbage player. Come hell or high water, regardless of how good he is on the court, that player is not going to play.

You see, Mr. Karl is one of those gradually going the way of the dinosaur type of coaches who think that personalities and playing styles are major factors for whether basketball teams win games. If a player has either an unusual personality or playing style, and/or he has a personality or playing style that is considered bad or poor in some sectors of the public, you can bet that Karl will be looking to make sure that player plays only in garbage time.

The Renaldo Balkman situation deserves additional serious comment outside of a Laugh out Loud, and I’ll have much more to say regarding Balkman in the near future, but for now just understand that Balkman was a well above average power forward during 2008-09, when Karl did play him. I guess to Karl it appeared back then that Balkman had a good personality. Although he never or almost never actually did start, Balkman was more than good enough to start at power forward and he was one of the key, “secret,” and surprise factors that allowed the Nuggets to defeat the Dallas Mavericks and advance to the 2009 West Conference Final to play the Los Angeles Lakers.

Balkman was in 2008-09 and almost certainly still is better than Kenyon Martin, the type of high paid, big name veteran who Karl will start regardless of personality or style, unless that player displays open hostility to him.

Martin displaying open hostility to Karl actually happened once. In 2006, Kenyon Martin and George Karl had a fierce argument about playing time and strategy for a round one playoff. Martin was representing Quest for the Ring (not exactly, just kidding). The result was that Kenyon Martin was suspended and got almost no playing time at all versus the LA Clippers. Almost all negative encounters with George Karl lead to less playing time.

Let’s look at Kenyon Martin (K-Mart) the way Karl does. Although K-Mart has a somewhat volatile personality, it’s nowhere near bad enough to offset the positive of his aggressive, conventional, and typical for a power forward playing style. Plus, he is a very highly paid veteran with a fairly big and fairly historic name. So all in all, K-Mart must start and get a lot of minutes even if a “reserve” is actually a much better player.

CHRIS ANDERSEN
Chris Andersen (a center or power forward) was in 2008-09 and in 2009-10 clearly better than Kenyon Martin. In fact, Chris Andersen was and is the best power forward on the Nuggets, period. It is nothing more than a dumb Nuggets’ myth that Kenyon Martin is the best power forward on the team. Just because Kenyon Martin is supposed to be much better than Chris Andersen doesn't guarantee that he actually is.

Andersen is one of the best defenders in the NBA, period. He should most definitely be starting (alongside Nene at center) and playing at least 30 minutes a game and 2,500 minutes a season. Whereas all Karl did was to increase Andersen's playing time this past season to 1,700 minutes from 1,450 the year before. I guess it could have been worse.

When Balkman didn’t play at all and when Chris Andersen didn’t play enough, it meant that the Nuggets’ best power forwards were sitting out while paint defending went to hell in a hand basket and while the Nuggets were defeated by a truly serious basketball team and franchise in round one, the Utah Jazz. This was repeatedly warned about here. (I don’t do hard, guaranteed predictions anymore, but I do warnings instead.)

One of a very small number of franchises that has never appeared in the NBA finals (gee, could it have something to do with the ownership or the coaches?) the bumbling Nuggets franchise, since they were defeated 4-2 in round one this year by the Jazz, have revealed that they are positively terrified that they might be on the verge of being one of the worst teams in the League up front (at center and power forward). This is a true “laugh out loud, George Karl” if there ever was one, because in point of fact the Nuggets had a decent crew of power forwards and centers before they panicked about not having one and set out to make it better.

But wait, they made what was a fairly good crew worse, not better! So now maybe they really will be one of the worst front courts in the NBA! Put that in your pipe and smoke it.

NUGGETS' MANAGEMENT TO THE RESCUE?
So Nuggets’ management had a difficult problem to contend with this off season. What to do? How would they try to offset George Karl’s refusal to give credit where credit is due to Andersen and Balkman? You can’t go against Karl; you can’t disagree with his personality and style determinations. If Karl says Andersen and Balkman are poor players who deserve little or no playing time, you have to agree with that and go with that, laugh out loud.

So would Denver management recommend to the owner that the Nuggets quit the League and move to the developmental League? Or should they move to the Italian League? The Mongolian League? The Easter Island League?

No! There was no quit in this franchise! Nuggets’ management rode to the rescue by acquiring power forward superstar Al Harrington (four rings and one of Phil Jackson’s favorite players) and they backed him up by also acquiring the veteran, solid starter, always dependable Shelden Williams for that four spot that neither Andersen nor Balkman can hold down due to bad personalities and bad playing styles.

Al Harrington? Shelden Williams? Brian Butch, the new star Nuggets' Center? One of these is supposed to finally be that complete replacement for Marcus Camby, who was literally given away about two years ago?

Incidentally, it was ironically many of the Denver fans and not so much George Karl who were glad that Camby was given away, on account of Camby’s poor excuse for a playing style. The Camby Man’s personality was acceptable, but the playing style had to go, laugh out loud.

And you thought it was just the Coach in Denver who gets hung up on personalities and styles! Laugh out loud! For all you know and for all I know, half the state of Colorado is hung up with personalities and styles. In California (especially Southern California) unusual personalities and styles are often looked up to and given all the “playing time” in the world. Whereas in Colorado, the funky personalities and styles mostly sit and watch the games from their spots on the bench. "Take that seat over there, Chris Andersen, right next to Coby Karl, whose personality and playing style are to die for. Try to become like him!"

Oh dear Lord, the Nuggets apparently are going to be like a sieve in the paint in 2010-11. It looks like it will be even worse than 2009-10 was. Chris Andersen getting little playing time and/or Renaldo Balkman getting no playing time may very well repeat in 2010-11. After all, personalities and playing styles hardly change and George Karl is coming back again and he is still insisting talent doesn’t matter as much as personalities and styles do. Yes, he really is coming back, even after his cancer scare. And he is dragging his son Coby Karl with him. Together, the two of them are out to someday take over the entire NBA and bench everyone in it.

With Kenyon Martin getting old in basketball terms now, assuming Andersen is still forbidden from starting or playing quality minutes, and assuming Balkman plays little or not at all again, the Nuggets are indeed no better than average and very possibly one of the worst teams in the League at power forward-center!

LOOK OUT, LEBRON "YOU HORRIBLE MAN" JAMES
But I defiantly choose to look at things positively! I pronounce the Nuggets’ dilemma (you know, that one where they have good players but don’t play them) solved. Chris Andersen and Renaldo Balkman can ride the bench now in peace, while Al Harrington, Shelden Williams, and Brian Butch take care of matters in the paint.

You are good to go now, Denver! With Al Harrington, Brian Butch, and Kobe Karl, you now have the kind of lock down defense needed to go all the way to the 2011 NBA finals and to win the Quest using a football type strategy! Harrington and Kobe Karl will stop that bad man, LeBron James, right in his tracks! You are going to utterly destroy LeBron James and those upstart Heat, Denver. You will reach the promise land now!

Seriously and for real, Laugh out Loud, George Karl!

PS: Al Harrington is definitely not a superstar, definitely does not have four rings, and definitely is not one of Phil Jackson’s favorite players.

GIVE US THE JUICE TO PRODUCE REPORTS MORE QUICKLY

Although there is a guaranteed minimum rate of Report production regardless of traffic, IT IS IN YOUR POWER to help double or triple the number of and frequency of Reports. Simply take two or three minutes as often as you can to recommend Quest and post links to Quest on your favorite sports and other sites. The resulting automatic increase of traffic will in turn increase the resources that go in to producing Quest, which in turn speeds up reporting. If you want, e-mail how you helped (include the url of where you posted a link to Quest) and we will throw some Internet love back to where you tell us on the Internet. Thank you.

Here are some quick links that you can use to find a place where you might post a link to Quest and/or to Quest content.

BASKETBALL SITES THAT ARE OPEN FOR CONTENT FROM ANYONE
Note: Beware of "layered" sites. None of the following are layered sites, which are sites that allow contributions from the public only in hard to find, low traffic areas, while the main areas are off limits for public input and are only for a chosen few. All of the following have at least some notable traffic, and all of them allow relatively equal and open participation. The order is from most recommended to least recommended, based on about half a dozen factors.

Bleacher Report Open Posting Site
Inside Hoops NBA Forum
Real GM NBA and Team Forums
Pro Sports Daily NBA Forum
Basketball Forum NBA Forum
Sporting News NBA Forum
Hoops Hype NBA Forum
Armchair GM Open Posting Site
SportsTwo NBA Forum
NBA Dimensions NBA Forum
OTR Basketball Forums NBA Forum
NBA Boards NBA Forum
NBA Wire NBA Forum
KFFL NBA Forum

Note: there are other forums, but they are all very low traffic and activity compared to the ones above.

MESSAGE BOARDS AT HUGE COROPORATIONS
The Fox NBA board is very low traffic, and the MSNBC NBA board doesn't exist anymore. The CBS Sports NBA Message Board is a layered site; you can NOT post topics nor expect to be considered seriously there until you have spent a few years posting there. We do not recommend CBS Sports. So the only real, fully open NBA forum hosted by a big corporation is the ESPN message board. Be forewarned though that the ESPN board is dominated by very young fans who make very short comments. On the other hand, it is a high traffic site, so we won't stop you from posting a Quest link at ESPN if you want to.

ESPN NBA Message Board

>>>I WANT TO STICK WITH THE WAY OTHER SITES PRESENT POSTS
Due to the number of, uniqueness of, and importance of the many other home page features we have, only one Report loads at a time, currently the one just above. To see the next Report (which would be the one that came out just before the one above) on this home page, click "Older Posts" that is at the very bottom of the Report showing above, just above the section header "Your Ball: Take Your Best Shot".

>>ALTERNATIVE HOME PAGES
There are three home pages, all of which have all of the Reports but which have completely different features appearing on the sidebar and below the one Report that is shown at a time. These pages have been designed so that they fully load in about 10 seconds (no more super long load times we used to be known for.)

HOME PAGE A: ALL REPORTS, READERS CONTAINING REPORTS 1-100, AND UNIQUE FEATURES
HOME PAGE B: ALL REPORTS, READERS CONTAINING REPORTS 1-100, AND UNIQUE FEATURES
HOME PAGE C: ALL REPORTS, READERS CONTAINING REPORTS 1-100, AND UNIQUE FEATURES

>>REPORT READERS: Complete freedom to rapidly choose and read what you need or want to read. The latest 40 Reports are found near the top of all three of the primary home pages (linked to just above) while Reports #41-#100 are found in three separate readers placed at various points down the page on all three primary home pages.

QUALIFICATIONS OF THE PRIMARY WRITER

The basketball expert and maniac who writes most of this site doesn't know how to stop until he has said and proved it all. So we are simply in a League of our own, and much of this unique content is for truly serious basketball people. The Quest for the Ring primary writer has two college degrees, one in Economics and one in Accounting. Both were with high honors and straight A grades. He played basketball in high school mostly because he was so tall at an early age but, unfortunately, he didn't have squat for athletic skills. Is that why he respects players more than other writers do? Probably so. In any event, he has been very closely following pro basketball for more than a dozen years. He has been extremely closely following the NBA in general and the Denver Nuggets in particular for over 4 years now. He has been learning the Detroit Pistons in great detail since the Iverson trade. He learns fast.

QUEST LOADING TIMES, RELOADING, AND BROWSER USAGE

LOADING OUR LOADED PAGE: The Nuggets 1 Main Page is chock loaded and needs time to load from sometimes sluggish or clunky Google servers. You may not be able to scroll properly while the page is loading. Links, including unfortunately the jump link to the latest content, may not work until the page is done or almost done loading. Please be patient and let it load. Your own computer system contains many variables that also determine how long it takes for Quest for the Ring to fully load. For example, how many programs and other sites are already up and running on your computer, and whether you have recently cleaned your temporary internet history and related caches will help determine how long it takes for the page to long.

Despite great variations, we will make estimates of how long the Quest home page will need to fully load. The following time are for those with reasonably healthy and not overburdened systems. With a fast broadband connection, generally a cable connection in the USA, the page will load in full in about 30-60 seconds. It will take 50-120 seconds to load with slower broadband connections, generally dsl in the USA. In Europe and Japan, my understanding is that dsl connections are frequently much faster than they are in the USA, so it would be less time for dsl in Europe and Japan. With a dial-up connection, the Quest home page might take 1-2.5 minutes to load, so just go on to something else and come back in about 2 minutes would be my advice if you are loading the page with a slow dial-up connection.

However you are assessing Quest, it is well worth the wait, so please try to be patient and let it load. Remember, most good things require at least a little bit of patience.

RELOADING WILL BE NECESSARY SOMETIMES
Every once in a while, parts of the page will not load. You will notice some things missing. If this happens, normally, if you click refresh and reload the page, you will get a complete loading and it will be a quicker loading than the original loading was. Having said that, you will find if you are a very heavy internet user that at any given time, if you have more than one browser available to you, that different browsers may load a loaded page such as this differently, with perhaps only one browser loading the page in full and other browsers failing to load one or more elements.

BROWSERS
All major users of the internet eventually realize that they must have at least 2 browsers, because browsers gradually become less reliable as time goes by, and because even if a browser is freshly downloaded, it may not properly load certain internet pages, whereas another browser will. If you notice open spaces on Quest (or any other website) even after reloading the page, you may need to try a different browser in order to more fully view that page. At this time, the Quest finds that any of the following browsers are able to fully, or at least almost fully, load Quest for the Ring pages: We recommend all of the following equally:

Internet Explorer
Mozilla Firefox
Safari
