"I'm 68 years old and I've been around a long time," Nelson said Saturday. "I normally say it the way it is if I can. And that's the way it is. ... We want to win, there's no question. We want to play the right way. But we realize that there's probably not going to be a lot of wins this year." In March of 2007, after a loss to the Bulls, Nelson made a similar statement when he publicly doubted the team's chances to make the playoffs. One month later, they were the darlings of basketball after shocking the top-seeded Mavericks. Via Contra Costa Times Karl與Smith從不交談 Denver's Karl, Smith Don't Speak Dec 01, 2008 8:39 AM EST Nuggets coach George Karl and J.R. Smith have had their share of issues since the guard joined the team in 2006, and they apparently aren't on speaking terms. "We never talk," Smith said. "I wish (the two could). You never want to not even talk to your coach." Smith was benched last Wednesday against the Clippers because Karl said he was "extremely late" to a practice, and he played just seven scoreless minutes Saturday at Minnesota. "J.R. is a good-bad player, and we're trying to take the bad out and magnify the good," Karl said after using Smith for 30 minutes against the Rockets on Sunday. "For me, there's, as the game goes on, there's a lot of ways I can try to win them. "And consistency, defense and a positive, good attitude would keep him on the court. But I don't think he gives us always those three every night we play. Some nights I'll tolerate his bad and some nights I'm probably going to go someplace else."

"My rhythm is just not there," said Iverson. "It's kind of a different situation for me. I'm finally sitting more than I usually do. This is the most I sat down (during games) in my whole career and my rhythm isn't there where I want it to be." Detroit is 6-6 with Iverson on the roster. He has averaged 31 minutes per game in his last five, after averaging nearly 40 minutes a contest over his career. "I am positive," Iverson said. "And I have enough confidence in my game to know it's going to come back. It's early struggles right now, that's all it is." Via Detroit News Donnie Walsh: 我擔心Oden(不適應NBA的強度) Walsh: I'm Worried About Oden Nov 30, 2008 6:08 PM EST Knicks' GM Donnie Walsh was asked about the state of the NBA and the future of talented big men like Greg Oden and Andrew Bynum recently. "I'm a little worried about Oden," Walsh admitted. "He's young and these young guys come in, but their bodies are not ready for the NBA, and they do get hurt. I think with real young players, they're not ready for the NBA. All of a sudden they're playing at our speed and our tempo against men. It seems that even if they don't get hit, they start breaking down a little bit." Via New York Daily News --
