[ReDirkulous Tyme]

I love Rick Carlisle, and respect the HELL out of him as far as an X's and O's coach, but his lineups this season simply make ZERO sense. As a law student, I like to pride myself on the ability to argue any side of an argument, but I can't even do that much for Rick this year. His lineups have always been a bit frustrating/wacky but its been tolerable with a healthy-ish German on the roster. But Carlisle's insistence on playing the worst/oldest PG in the entire basketball world is completely infuriating. Mike James is worthless. Also, if Carlisle is willing to compromise our defense/shot-blocking with Dirk on the court, for consistency sake, why is he unwilling to do the same with Wright? In my opinion, although Wright isn't close to the offensive player Dirk is, he is by FAR our most polished offensive option at the power forward position not named Dirk, and he brings far more to the defensive end than Dirk. I honestly think Carlisle has lost us twice as many games this year solely due to his lineups than we otherwise would've lost.
