RC is a genius
Guys, that´s my first thread ever: I just had to express my appreciation for the work RC and his stuff have done:
If this keeps working from now on, you really gotta had it to RC and his stuff. Just look at the offense. It´s completely different to the pre-Rondo offense: - posting-up guards (Rondo, Ellis) - using Ellis as a spot-up guy (which he did really well last night) - letting Parsons handling the ball a lot (that´s awesome) - way less alley-oop plays (unless Tyson is rolling to the rim in the early offense) -> this just wasn´t working with our post-Rondo floor-spacing; this really hurts Devin´s production though - more spot-ups less Isos for Dirk (great because he really wasn´t doing well on his post-isolations - letting Rondo create offense out of the corner (I noticed that a few times last night and I don´t really get why that is working) - having Stoudemire as a post-up big - letting Rondo handle parts of the play-calling you certainly could continue that list. And here´s what I love about it: in a very short period of time RC was able to completely reconstructure the offense. How many coaches do we have in this league, who could do this? I really hope this wasn´t a short-term offensive eruption, but I don´t think so. And just watch last nights game again and keep an eye on what plays Brooks and RC ran after time-outs: it´s really an unbelieveable difference.. even though Mona missed that wide-open lay up in the fourth and Jefferson had a wide open three he couldn´t make, I´m totally sure that RC gives us at least 8 points a game by calling great out-of-timeout plays Isn´t that amazing? I know RC is already very much appreciated around here, but I just wanted to highlight that again. Last edited by Thukydides; 03-17-2015 at 05:56 AM. |

It's been said before, but Rick Carlisle is easily this team's greatest asset these days.

Great post. The amount of changes made really is remarkable.

I hate when I hear general basketball fans say Carlisle is underrated anytime I discuss Mavs. RC works gymnastics on any roster he's given. He's top 3 coach in the league. And probably just behind Pop.

When you consider the constant roster turnover (which Popovich hasn't been forced to deal with, really) I might even have Carlisle at #1 on my list, tbh.

I don't think as much of Doc Rivers as I used to (not to say he's bad), so for me, Rick is far and away the league's second-best coach. Thibs runs his players into the ground too much to warrant my consideration, and I'm not sure who else you could even put on the list--though I will say that Spo is better than many people think he is.
