Denver late season skid?

[hasoos]

When observing this years playoff race, one thing I have noticed is that Denver is starting to skid. I don't know if it is the Kenyon Martin injury, the George Karl medical issues becoming a distraction, but is it possible the best playoff position to shoot for, is to matchup with Denver.

They have lost 2 in a row, losing to what I consider inferior opponents.

If Denver skids, they won't be in #2 much longer. But the question remains, where will they end up. I could see them skidding to 4th very easily. But it would be hard for Portland to move to to 5. Not impossible, but hard.

IMO Denver is a superior team to Portland...but sometimes timing is everything.

Without K-Mart that team doesn't quite have the 'swagger' I've come to expect from them -- they're not exactly soft without him, but I think some of the fear factor they've built up gets taken away. If they do slide, I can think of worse matchups, but we still suck in Denver.

It looks like no Karl is hurting them alot. And He might miss the rest of the season. Good for the rest of the league. But I hope George Karl gets well.

Yep definitly wishing that dude the best through some rough times. I was really surprised Karl or not, that they couldn't handle the Knicks with the importance of the game on the line.

What's amazing is that given all we've been through, we're only 4 games behind that team.

Not having a coach is more than a distraction.
