They Love Ron In Denver

-- BEGIN included message

  From the the Rocky Mountain news forum:

  Nov. 13th:
Karnac:
"I think you can blame a lot of last night's weak performance on Dice.
He's not playing well at all right now. He had several unforced TO's
and I don't think Dice could throw it in the ocean right now if he
wanted to.<b> Of course Dice played great if you compare his play to
Mercer's." </b>
"It was embarassing watching the Nuggets on offense. They really have
little clue as to how to play together"


Spine:
"They didn't shoot the ball well, to say the least. What happened to
Mercer last night? It seems the only contribution he can make is
scoring points. Every player has off nights, it's to be expected, but
he doesn't play any defense, doesn't hustle, no rebounds, no assists. I
haven't been impressed with his overall game yet. If he keeps this up,
no one is going to give him that fat contract. Furthermore, his play
thus far is making Patino look like he took the old Nug's right in the
a**"

Catcalls:
"Glad to see I'm not the only one who is waiting for Mercer to do
something other than shoot the basketball"I agree that mercer isnt
doing much, and im not liking it at all. 2-11 is ok as long as those
shooting games are rare (hell look at iverson...he has lots of 30%
shooting nights and worse), but the boards, assists, and steals need
TONS of work."

Waker:
 "Interesting event occurred.....It was clear Portland had decided that
Mercer was our weakest point, they were posting up whoever he was
guarding all night long."

 Nov14:
Nuggets4:
  "Mercer had some nice moves on offense but some bad ones too. Mercer
ignored Barry, and Barry killed us. His D needs work."



 The announcers on the Fox Sports broadcast last night also repeatedly
suggested that Ron might want to think about "Passing the ball!"
He has the 7th best field goal percentage on his team, yet he has taken
the second most shots, only 4 shots behind Nick "I've never passed up a
shot in my life" Van Exel.

  So, despite Brandon's claims to the contrary, nothing has changed
with Mercer except maybe he's found an outside shot.
