Nuggets Want Iverson To Pass More

Nuggets' Coach George Karl has hinted that he would like Allen Iverson to pass more this season.

"I think you can put A.I. and (Carmelo Anthony) both in that category," Karl said. "It's about our efficiency and effectiveness on the offensive end, and their effectiveness isn't determined by how many points they score, but by how many good plays they put into the game."

Since he joined the team, Denver is 23-4 when Iverson has more than ten assists.

Karl Wants To Keep Coaching After Contract

With two years remaining on his contract, Nuggets' Coach George Karl made it clear on Monday that he'd like to continue beyond his current deal, the Denver Post is reporting.

"I still think I have a love and passion for coaching, and I'm still good at it," Karl said. "I've said every year the window of getting out of it has gotten a little bigger, but the juice of staying in it is still two-to-one over getting out of it. So, personally, I think there's three things I'd like to do. I'd like to win a championship, I'd like to stay in Denver to do it, and I'd like to coach my son someday."

Carmelo: Nuggets Can Win 60 Games

Nuggets forward Carmelo Anthony believes that the team can win sixty games this season.

"We’ve got a chance to win 50 to 60 (games)," Anthony said. "We’ve got a chance to be one of the best teams in the NBA."

Denver was 50-32 last season, good enough for eighth place in the Western Conference.

"Sixty games," Kenyon Martin added. "We won 50 games last year and came in eighth place (in the West). It will take 60 to be in the top three. So, I think so."
