soft schedule or Carlisle that good, tbh?

[ElNono]

Haven't checked what their schedule looked so far, but they're sitting pretty at 8-4, a team that a lot of peeps thought would be missing the playoffs this season...

I know it's early, but they seem to be doing well. Is it all coaching or?

[100%duncan]

Carlisle is the best coach in the league however Pop seems to be recovering from his shitshow last year

[Robz4000]

Carlisle and Dirk having a late-career renaissance ala Tim.

[apalisoc_9]

Hes reviving all the shit guards that was all good onceupon time. Dirk looks good and pachulia is a surprise. Mathews looks good.

Bottom line, the players care about winning. Dont know how carlilse motivated them to play at the intensity they are playing right now.

Probably promised felton and Deron a bucket of fried chicken, a whooper burger or an eat all you can buffet if they compete every game. They look look fatter but they are competitive.

[Kawhitstorm]

Carlisle is excellent at putting role players in a position to succeed which can win you games in the regular season & Dirk has his legs under him but that will change when the calendar flips to 2016.

[Splits]

Their SOS is easiest in the league so far. Literally 30th.

- Deron and Zaza have been solid. I'm not saying they're all stars or anything, but for what they're paying them (which is very reasonable), they are getting pretty good bang for their buck, production-wise.

- Matthews looks like a good pickup, even if they overpaid him. You can never have enough guys who can play on both ends of the floor.

- Parsons has looked good and more comfortable in his second year, even though he is under a minutes restriction coming back from injury.

- Chemistry-wise, it looks like they've put together a good group of guys. No moody jerks (Rondo), or dudes worried about their next contract and not enough about the games (Monta).

- Carlisle is like a Master Chef. Doesn't matter what ingredients are handed to him, he'll cook up something good with what he has on hand. Only Pop is better.

- Last year Dirk looked done at times. Small sample size of 12 games against an easy schedule, but he's turned in a bit of a turn back the clock performance so far.

Rc is the 2nd best coach in the NBA

[Kim Jong-il]

They live and die with Dirk. Dirk playing at a high level can still carry a team. Team chemistry is terrific and Carlisle will always have them prepared to win. It's doubtful Dirk can sustain this for 82+ games tho, so I'd expect and Feb/March collapse.

Mavs are like a C+ student with a great teacher to keep them afloat and studying.

[Mal]

Jimmy Carrey is good coach.

[AlexJones]

I expected the 8 seed from season beginning

[unleashbaynes]

Mavs gonna sneak in as the 8 seed and upset the Warriors. Tbh. :downspin:

Mathews looks good.

Nigga is shooting 34%.

Not sure where you get that :lol most of the forun have wanted a spurs gsw matchup since last year

Building up a scared spursfan angle :lol

Your not watching the games. Mathews shot horribly the first 3 games hes played otherwise hes been key

I didnt say that I just responded to the Mavs will upset the Dubs in a series post. And yes, most Spur fan SAY they want the Dubs but then throw hate and hope they lose every game thread. You can deny it if you want but it reeks of fear ... A non threat shouldnt invoke so many emotions ...

Yes and that post was so serious it even included a downspin in the end. :lol is hate not allowed now? The team is full of faggotry that most fans in the league cant stand. They are lucky curry is playing like a god or else no one would to watch a team filled with arrogant vaginas

Would have liked to have seen what Carlisle would have done with the Spurs post 2005.
10 years.

But they are more than just Curry. Draymond has improved a great deal. Barnes is pretty humble Iggy was too until recently (he sure did revel in the Clips demise). they are a bit cocky but not every champ is a low key as the Spurs. Most are not.

[Findog]

Nigga is shooting 34%.

He's played better in these last few games. I went and looked at his overall stats for the season and was a little surprised that they're lackluster. Just going on the eye test the last couple games, he's played well.

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Rondo is gone and they seem to be playing like the beginning of last year before the dumb trade

:lol this post makes no sense. The Dubs are the best team in the league and have been pretty annoying since winning the 'ship. Wanting them to lose doesn't translate into fear, considering majority of Spurfan wants to see how they stack up against Golden State including myself tbh....

You better than that Killa, don't go the way of your idol and fall off a cliff tbh......

[spursistan]

Rick Carlisle would have coached circles around Mcfail and bounced the Rockets hadn't that cancer Rondo suited up for them..The series was pretty close after first two games even with Parson out..It is a combination of both factors...Only an elite strategist can take the juggernaut that 2014 Spurs were to Game 7, tbh..I think they will come down in the standings but they are likely to sneak in instead of the Pelicans..Would love to see RC muck it up vs the Warrios in Round 1 :lol:..

Oh ok. I have only watched one of Dallas' games (I forgot which, the one on TNT) and he was really impressive, but I thought that was the fluke looking at his numbers. I guess if you looked at numbers you'd think Aldridge was having a terrible year too.

Rick Carlisle making a bunch of bums and fools look semi competent :lol..

[Kawhitstorm]

• Easiest schedules through Sunday: 1. Dallas, 2. Golden State, 3. San Antonio

[spursistan]

we meet them on Wednesday, when they are on B2B after Memphis..I think they will be resting a couple starters as Rick has been doing this season..probably another easy one for the Spurs..

Danny loves playing against the Mavs & he just broke out of his slump so it might be a blowout.

[DMC]

RC is one of the best coaches in the league, just behind Pop about 3000 miles. Then it's everyone else.

Nah its closer than that but Pop is the best. Byron is the worst niw that McHale is fired

[spankadelphia]

:lolAllowing the Grizzlies to score 110 points.

[HarlemHeat37]

They were allowing a league-best % against uncontested shots, which is mostly fluky, obviously..they will probably finish as a 7 or 8 IMO, assuming Parsons starts playing 30+, eventually..

[spursistan]

I know the Spurs are long way, but you could see that the Mavs are an extremely well-coached team..Rick making something out that collection of misfits is pretty evident..He is not far off from Pop, and i wonder what he would do with a talent level of ours....

He nearly beat us in 2014. Extremely underrated.

Soft schedule. Turned hard though. 3 game losing streak.

Hung with Spurs despite talent gap ...if that is not elite coaching i dont know what is. Pop is #1 but if you flip squads i bet Spurs still have 5 heck maybe 6 ...
Now if Buron was coaching maybe Spurs have 1 or none ...

Yup, Carlisle is doing an amazing job the last years. Getting the most out of everybody, Wright for example. After the trade he is/was horrible.
