By taking a shot at former Blue Devile and current Houston Rocket Shane Battier, who his team was not even playing against:
Karl, when asked about comments Rockets forward Shane Battier made after their game against L.A., saying the Nuggets would have a tough time against the Lakers: “Why would I comment on a Duke guy?”
If you are at all interested, pick your side in the Lakers-Nuggets series: Denver has George Karl, L.A. has Mitch Kupchak(who apparently keeps offering the job to Roy Williams)
