Give Rick Carlisle His Just Due.

[WOAHMYGOODNESS]

he would have won a chip with the pistons if we had sheed

shyt, i know him and that pacers team during the malice era would have won at least won

Wat about thibs

 

[mikishere]

Only problem i have with him is the limited amount of minutes he gives roddy buckets and his unnecessary time outs. He calls so many useless timeouts and its cost the mavs a couple of games because it'll be a 1 possession game and they'll be out of TO's.

roddy b is garbage now.. idk what happened to his potential but that shyt disappeared since the championship season

Second best in the league other than Pop...

It is vastly underated how he sonned Phil in his last year with the Lakers...it was like a kid showing an old as man how to move all his songs from an 8 track to a gen 5 Ipod...shyt was disgusting...had my man Phil setting in his fake hip chair on some shyt...had Phil randomly taking his frustrations out on Gasol...

If the two teams are evenly matched...and it comes down to coaching...Carlisle generally suns the opposition...

Any coach competing for a playoff spot with Mike James getting crunch time minutes should automatically be up for COY award

 

[FAH1223]

The fact he has Dallas close the playoffs with that roster is pretty good. A bunch of guys on one year (young and old players) deals plus Dirk

To be fair to Larry Brown, NOBODY really thought that Pistons team could've beat the Lakers in 5 games. Larry Brown coached them to that title and win in the finals with his gameplan.

if dirk didnt have major knee surgery in august what seed do you think the mavs would be in?

4-6 range. Healthy dirk means we don't spend half the season disjointed on offense. Things would have been figured out sooner as far as rotation, ball movement and spacing. But the team itself isn't that good, every win we snatch is the result of max effort and effective team management.

George Karl is not in the league of Rick Carlisle.

I personally think Rick, Doc and Pop are the best. Thibs nipping at their heels. Haven't had a chance to study Mark Jackson yet, but it looks promising. Terry Stotts is underrated. He's always been stuck with bad teams. Probably shoulda never been fired from the Hawks. I've had issues with Larry Drew, but he's done an amazing job this year. Doug Collins might be knowledgable, but that does not mean he is a great coach. He aight.

I disagree George Karl has a talented team but no real Superstars, he has them playing better than they have in years and he has the pieces to make them a good matchup with just about every team in the West, I think Karl deserves legit consideration. I understand his playoff record isn't great, but still.

You're a prisoner of the moment. Don't discount all those years of talented teams he had that went home in the first round.

Rick Adleman Has More Success Than Him

 

[cleanface coney]

Was a huge fan of him on the Pistons, shame he had to be let go

he made Chauncey what he was

Larry Brown gave him discipline but Rick put him on the map

 

[beenz]

carlisle at least gets more respect than spoelstra
