Dirk was literally unguardable in 2011 because of his skill. Not because Carlisle was drawing up these amazing plays for him. Same story with Luka. It’s Luka’s skill that kept the Mavs afloat these past couple years. He had a 7’2 poor man’s Dirk on his roster and he didn’t know how to use him (when he was available) Y’all overrate these coaches too much.
It’s hard winning 1 nba title no doubt. But a lot of them are simply carried by the talent on their team. Doc earned that 08 title, I can’t say the same about Rick’s in 2011
Once again, he did nothing different. If you're comparing this Mavs team to the chip team there's nothing to talk about further. Dirk does not win without Carlisle or that team. Y'all overrate Dirk too much.
You gotta go back and re watch the 2011 playoffs if you think he did nothing different. He elevated all aspects of his offense for the playoffs. Played 40 minutes throughout the playoffs and you think he did nothing differently ?
Except he didn't. He was the same scoring unicorn he's always been. He played 40 minutes a night in the postseason before. He didn't even shoot well on the biggest stage. The difference is team around him was built to mask his shortcomings this time. And the best player on the court forgot who he was.
Doc had 3 HOFs possibly 4 but he earned that ring and Rick didn’t? Ye okIt’s hard winning 1 nba title no doubt. But a lot of them are simply carried by the talent on their team. Doc earned that 08 title, I can’t say the same about Rick’s in 2011
Yes because despite the talent the Celtics were still tested that year. First 2 rounds went 7 games. Doc was coaching his ass off that year because he was about to get fired, one of his last good coaching years
Is he still getting paid by the Mavs?29 million for a average ass coach. That’s tough
