Nuggets guard Julius Hodge made his 2006-07 D-League debut Sunday, playing 4 minutes in the Colorado 14ers' home loss to the Idaho Stampede. It was Hodge's first game at any level since he was shot four times April 8, but he reportedly was not happy about his limited role.
"Very disappointing. It seems like he's already got a bad attitude," Karl said after hearing comments by Hodge. "Complaining and being labeled as (having) a bad attitude, I don't know if he understands that general managers read that and they go, 'Wow!' "
Karl said Nuggets officials will work closely with Hodge as much as possible during his monthlong rehabilitation assignment.

seriously though, i think george karl is one of the most overrated coaches in the league. he hasn't done shit since the '96 sonics. and that was really only because shawn kemp was sober back then. fuck you george karl, hodge got shot up and wants to play some ball. cut him some slack, you cracker ass hair-lip havin' clown.
anyone have the link to that article where jr smith was picking on hodge for reading books? yup, those new free agents are great for you george. i'm sure the GM was hyped about reading that too. GM's love seeing that their future stars have the intellectual capacity of a 4th grader. seriously, this franchise drafted tsakavidis (or however you spell his name, sorry ass euro trash) with a top-5 pick a few years ago and is gonna hate on hodge, for wanting more playing time? fuck the nuggets. that's why they've never been of consequence. karl will lead them to a first round playoff exit this year too, carmelo be damned. 12/6/2006 2:17:00 AM |

And hodge's comments are obviously because he has worked his balls off and has jack to show for it.

Dick Vitale told me Jay Williams was the best PG in all of basketball, including the NBA, when he was a sophomore in college. It's both sad and hilarious at the same time that a stupid decision cost him his career for all intents and purposes.. 12/11/2006 12:57:52 AM |

on a lighter note ced started again tonight for the Hornets 12/15/2006 1:07:24 AM |
jbrick83 All American 23447 Posts user info edit post |
^And didn't really take advantage. Kind of disappointing. He started because the Hornets' three frontline starters were out. So it was a good chance for him to make a good showing. But he was pretty non-existant in the PT he got in the first half and the other scrubs actually stood out a little bit. So he only got like fifteen minutes when he actually started the game.
Oh well...it's still early in the season. 12/15/2006 1:59:52 AM |

^^yeah i know shot 4 times that is pretty serious, but he does need to leave the nuggets that have to much talent and i dont think he can fit in with them. Does he still get paid the big bucks when he plays for the D leage or does he pick up one of those 18,000 dollar contracts 12/15/2006 10:53:25 AM |

iirc all first round contracts are guaranteed for your first two years.

^ maybe not. a player should be on the active roster for a game in which he is suspended, otherwise it doesn't hurt the team nearly as much. That would put 5+ players on each team that must keep a spot on the active roster for a game, and they wouldn't be able to pull any/many from the NBDL to get playing time. 12/17/2006 10:08:59 AM |
