They were just very effective because they ( except for the Thunder) played against the Lakers and Heats weakness's. It was not something he did on the fly.
As I stated before Carlisle is not a good coach when he is required to make quick evaluations of his personal and in game adjustments that he has not planned for. He is methodical. If he was really the coach that some of you believe the Mavs wouldn't be having the problems they are now. Dirk see's the handwriting on the wall. Isn't it time the rest of you woke up. But then most of you are like Carlisle. You are incapable of recognizing a trend until far after it has bitten you in the Aff. He was the right coach for the year the team won the champianship, but he is wrong for the situation this team finds itself in at present.

I'm not going to debate you on this, because you're so far out there that it's not even worth it.
I just wanted to take the time to point out that you appear to have the EXACT OPPOSITE opinion of Carlisle's strengths as the entire rest of the NBA and those who watch it and cover it. Carlisle is the king of "be ready". His rotations are always in flux. His lineups change all the time. Hell, his lineup was constantly changing the entire 2010-2011 season. Hell, he completely removed Peja from the rotation early in the Heat series, and changed his staring lineup halfway through as well.
I mean...I get that people often have issues with their coach. But your characterization of Rick is so, so backwards. If anything, the majority of his critics, and some of his players, would claim that he is too volatile, TOO unwilling to commit to a steady, consistent plan.
Just such a strange stance to take.
