I can't fucking believe Carlisle didn't call timeout.

Thespiralgoeson · 05-25-2024, 10:16 PM

I'm lurking r/pacers right now, and EVERYONE wants Carlisle's head on a spike.

Seriously, the Pacers should be up 2-1 right now. This is nuts.

It's been a roller coaster ride with Kidd, and I'm still kinda waiting for the other shoe to drop. But fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck Carlisle.

I don?t know I kinda get not calling the timeout. Jrue made a great play and stole the ball. Career night from Horford in year 17 for him.

Celtics worry me because they have some stud defenders and so many guys that can score. Their lack of bigs though could give us a massive advantage especially if KP can?t go.

Yep, I can confidently say Jason Kidd > Carlisle.

We should be honest and admit Rick hasn't been a good coach for 10 years. We gave him a pass because of 2011 and that 7 games series against the Spurs, but otherwise...

It was like a 1 on 4 though. The Celtics' defense was already set up. I don't know, I just feel like in that situation, unless you've got MJ or Kobe (or Luka) with the ball in their hands, you call timeout every time.

Either way, that's just one play. The Pacers blew an 18 point lead, so timeout or no, they definitely choked. Bad. And it's the second time. I feel like the Mavs win both of those games.

So relieved we don?t have Carlisle anymore.

Boston has top tier scorers that are consistent every night with the defense to go with it. They scare me more than wolves because they have the experience to go with all their talent. Jrue and Horford will be a problem.

They're definitely better than the Wolves. No question. I do feel like the Mavs might match up quite favorably though. Especially if Porzingis is out, or even just less than 100%.

Again, and I'm going to keep harping on this- the Pacers abso-fucking-lutely should be up 2-1 right now.

Rich Paul just let slip that Lebron is testing free agency

Probably just posturing. I'll be shocked if he leaves the Lakers.

depends on who if anyone drafts Bronny - Lebron has nothing else to play for or to prove. Why not take a stab at playing with your boy?

There've been rumblings recently that playing with Bronny is not as big a deal to him as people think. It sounds like he wants to make one more legit run and get paid doing it. My bet is the Lakers swing big on Trae Young and that's enough to convince LeBron that the Lakers can still contend. (I don't think Trae Young makes them into contenders again, but my bet is LeBron thinks that.)

Thespiralgoeson · 05-25-2024, 11:33 PM

^^ That being said, I'm 100% for the Mavs picking up Bronny if they can. Couldn't hurt to give it a shot.

Carlisle shit the bed AGAIN last night. I can't believe that there are still fans who think he was a better coach for the Mavs than Kidd.

What's nuts is he is supposed to be good at Xs and Os. Not this playoffs that's for sure.

Oh shit, Bill Walton died. RIP to one of the greats.

I watched him play after he finally get relatively healthy after going to the Celtics. He was a fantastic player.
