Although if my memory serves me correctly didnt it seem like are troubles shooting the ball from outside hinder our inside game ? Because thats the way it seemed to me.
If we don't make any changes that improve our outside shooting game what makes us any better than last season besides our head coach because thats who I personally attribute the Nuggets turn around to.

Focusing only on the Spurs, I'm more concerned about being able to stop Manu and Parker than I am about the offense. The difference in the series was that the Spurs were able to get stops and the Nuggets weren't. I'm less concerned about the offense because I know that 1) Melo wasn't getting the ball enough 2) Kenyon and Nene weren't healthy nor as effective as they should be this season and 3) the offense should be run better this season.
When I look at the Nuggets
Playoff Stats the thing that jumps out at me is the shots per game for Dre and Earl. That is just asking for trouble.
Yes, it would be nice to have better outside shooting, but I firmly believe that the internal improvements and growth in the team along with beter perimeter defense are more important. However, the Nuggets are never going to win a playoff series with Earl playing 30 MPG and taking 13.6 SPG.
