i noted AIs field goal shooting improvement.... that last time i was on, which was a while ago. if anyone on here watches nugget games its me.

i'm not attacking iverson here. i just understand that the nuggets have to issues. half court offense and playing defense. if the intial numbers arent there for a fast break. the nuggets need to figure out how to run some sets.

with good perimeter shooters now the Nuggets have way more options offensively. I still see the overall moves of acquiring Iverson and JR Smith as a postive.

Without them Denver cant win a 7 game series. Because even more than the regular season the defense was focusing on Melo. Regardless of their record, if the Nuggets make the playoffs and i believe they will, they finally have a chance to score enough points to stay in the games.

Missed baskets in a half court set can lead to fast breaks opposed to the opposition being forced to take the ball out of bounds are a made hoop.

the nuggets cant be an elite level team with doing two things. playing better defense and developing half court sets that work.

Regardless of AIs field goal improvement, Melo is going to convert a higher percentage, because he is even more leathal of an offensive weapon. Melo is going to be the best mismatch on the floor.

The nuggets need to use that mismatch to draw the double team. thats what say the spurs will do with duncan. its not that AI isnt shooting better. its just the simple fact that everyone will have better looks when Melo passes out of a double team.

if AI plays like AI, that means he is going to basically look for his shot first. That doesnt make sense if you are ignoring a better option (if that better option is on the floor).

AI was brought in to add fire power.
