Adrian Dantley Tested as Nuggets Threaten to Implode

Filed under: Jazz, Nuggets, Playoffs, NBA Coaches

DENVER -- Adrian Dantley claims he's OK. He insists there's no need for team officials to put him on a 24-hour watch.



"I talk to a lot of people and they act like I'm going to commit suicide or something,'' said the Denver Nuggets acting coach.



Dantley said others call him up as if he's "going to have a mental breakdown.''



With his heavily favored Nuggets down 3-1 in a West first-round series against Utah, that Dantley is able to maintain his sense of humor is one of the few good things the team has going for it these days.



Dantley has had to replace George Karl, who hasn't been on the bench since March 16 as he battles a form of throat cancer. Now, he's got a team that could be on the verge of imploding -- if that hasn't already happened.
