The Rick Carlisle appreciation thread - Page 3 - Dallas-Mavs.com Forums

Bryan_Wilson · 10-29-2016, 03:52 PM

RC is thought of around the league as a top 3-5 coach by practically the entire NBA. If he was fired today he would have a job tomorrow in the NBA if he wanted it. Avery Johnson couldn't get a job in the NBA and is now coaching Alabama to a mediocre record just like the guy he just replaced. If he was fired today nobody would even talk about it and he'd be watching RC coach Mavs games on his coach the rest of the year.

Also if you think a coaches claim to fame is Barea than I don't know what to say. Barea is a 10ppg player that averages about 25 minutes a game on 42% shooting.

That's nothing to really shout about.

Everybody knows that Carlisle turned Barea into a Bynum-killer the same way that Mr. Miyagi turned David-san into a Goliath-killer... It's basically a scientific fact. To argue against that is to argue against the nature of reality.

Jackson: RIP
Kobe: RIP
Bynum: RIP
Barea: pwning
Carlisle: pwning

The Truth hurts, don't it?

Don Nelson taught Dirk Nowitzki, Steve Nash, Mike Finley, Monta Ellis and Steph Curry. Not even counting Tim Hardaway, Chris Webber, Billy Owens, Mitch Richmond Latrell Sprewell, Terry Cummings, Sidney Moncrief, Anthony Mason and many others.

Don Nelson still owes me weed money... You're not a good coach if you don't ocassionally throw in (especially when we all KNOW you're holding, dude... I saw you & Nash blazing trees in your car when you drove up!!) He's worse than Franken-Hilla-Trump-with-a-Hitler-penis... Worse than Phil Jackson, even.

Why the hate for Avery Johnson. They have the same exact Win % in the regular season and playoffs. Except Johnson actually took over a rebuild in New Jersey. Carlisle has never taken over a rebuild.

I liked what Johnson was able to accomplish as a coach in his 3 and half short seasons here. He was the reason the Mavs finally got over the San Antonio Spurs. He knew how to beat them having played for Popovich for so many years.

Also he did do well in the Finals. There were just many bad calls in that series. Also a few Suspensions against our players that cost us. They suspended Stackhouse for being flagrant fouled by Shaq. It was a fixed rigged series. Anyone who says otherwise is silly. So basically the Mavs really won those Finals and Avery really does have a Championship. An easy one at that.

Against the Warriors was not his fault. Don Nelson is a HOF coach and he just knew how to beat the team he built. He knew their weaknesses. That was one of the greatest coaching performances in NBA history or sports history but haters don't like to talk about it.

Also just average odds of winning the Championship is 1 out of 30 years. Carlisle is 1 for 17 years coaching. So not that much better than average.

According to maths, that's almost twice as good as "average"...

Geez with this logic you might as well just shut down the forum.

The cad has spoken.

Meh, Jessica Alba is no Avery Johnson... Congrats on the championship anyway, I guess.

you are being rude and stupid. It's common knowledge that Stern rigged that series. Just like many and most think that Dez Bryant really caught that ball in Green Bay.

Well I'll give him this he had a high PPD rate (Post Per Day). Too bad none of the posts were any good.

While I do think that in RC's system sometimes the wing players just stand in the corner and are largely ignored for stretches. This Crowder stuff is getting out of hand. He's a quality player for sure but borderline all star? His PER was 15.8 last year, the league average is 15 every year. Parsons on one leg half the time he was on the floor was a 16.2. Monta who is the go to for borderline all star talks has had several seasons where he was 16.5-19.0 and not made the all star. a dude who barely is above the league average in PER is not a borderline all star to me. And outside of Crowder I can't really recall a young player who RC did not develop who left and became something memorable.

And fwiw just to clarify, the worst player who made the all star game last year in the east would prolly be isaiah thomas(21.5) or al horford(19.3). Both well above the league average area where Crowder is.

If Crowder ever did make an all star team it would be for his defense. I think he's an ok player. I do think he and Aminu should've received more time while they were here.
