The Mavs are on pace to win roughly 55 games in a season where they were initially expected to be barely over .500 and struggle for the 8th seed. What exactly are you whining about?

For sure. He will definitely be in the conversation for the award if this pace continues. MOST national people did not list Dallas among their playoff teams in the West before the season. If they win 50+ and stay in the top 5, Carlisle will absolutely get some credit for that.

Blazers are at a .438 percentage and that is good enough for 8th in the West.
All we need is to go 16-36 the rest of the way to finish at about that percentage.

I understand Carlisle is stubborn at times and makes some mistakes but I can't think of anyone on this board or in the media that expected anything close to this much success.
