Report: Rick Carlisle resigns as Mavs head coach

[EricB]

Stephen Jackson did it a few times during his first stint with the Spurs. I remember reading about how David Robinson is the one that served as peacemaker when Jax went off on Pop.

Robinson was the captain but the Jackson whisperer was Mike Brown.

Haralabob and Luka are behind this. Obviously hiring R. Carlisle is a no brainer but we need someone to tank not win just enough to be the 8th seed. I would love Carlisle but the timing isn't right imo.
Either way i don't think we can get him when the Celtics, New Orleans with Zion and others are in the mix, not to mention the Bucks if they fail in game 7 which i believe they will.

Yup I always see Doncic snarling at officials or making his smirks every time he makes a shot. I thought that like any other alphas that are assholes. MJ, Bird, Kobe they’re all jerks as being overly compe ive. But Doncic is just plain asshole.

thank god we only have nice guys that will never win a thing cause none of them are compe ive assholes.

not just a vet coach, one of the best coaches in the league

smh

No he’s not. His win % is .548. If you project that over a season, it’s 44.9 wins. If you want to win 45 games a year, he’s your guy.

[Texas_Ranger]

Carlisle hasnt been a good coach in like 10 years, wtf are some of you here thinking. Even Pop is better.

[Chinook]

But not one the best developmental coaches. There's nothing smart about Carlisle to the team. The Spurs already have a better coach than him or Bud, and so many STers are pissed and want to move on and rebuild. Why would that be different with Carlisle? The biggest difference would just be that the team is slated to be even less talented this year than it's been in decades.

Agreed . As mentioned before he’s so easy to hate because he plays so good for the other team. As much as we love Bruce, he’s the biggest asshole to other teams

[MoSpur02]

Have you EVER watched an entire Mavs game? Luka is a bigger on the court than Dirk ever was, and Dirk was a world class diva.

This. I can’t stand Luka. He seems like he feels en led and whines way too much.

[CGD]

Feels like a reunion with his old club Boston? I like him as coach, but he apparently has zero interpersonal skills which seems important for coaching.

One thing is for sure, if pop wants to leave he should announce soon. Some good coaches out there I wouldn’t want to miss on Carlyle, Stott, Bud (soon)

[Ditty]

I rather have Carlisle than Bud. Come on RC and ownership!

44 wins. That’s what Carlisle brings, based on his win %. At least Bud will get you 48+ in any year.

[Gibbz]

Carlisle is incredibly overrated just because he imitates Pop's schtick with the media.

[Atl Spur]

Damn dudes stay moving the goal post..... who is a good coach in the NBA? Can someone list and rank the top 5? Pop should be on everyone’s list.......

[exstatic]

Pop
Synder
Spo
Bud
Donovan

[Allan Rowe vs Wade]

44 wins. That’s what Carlisle brings, based on his win %. At least Bud will get you 48+ in any year.

carlisle's win % is dragged down by nowitzki's 4-year victory lap tbh

You are what your record says you are - Bill Parcells

Also, as stated multiple times in this thread, he isn’t a developmental guy. He likes to play veterans over youngsters. Sound familiar?

If were going young and rebuilding then sure,ill buy that

Well, LMA is out the door, and DeRozan looks to be right on his heels. I’d call that at least a soft rebuild.

[J_Paco]

Not surprised that Doncic is a headcase

As we saw with Nephew, sometimes when a guy is that good so early it comes with a lot of baggage (or external baggage in Leonard's case).

[J_Paco]

Coaching is hard..... Pop haters always have to eat crow

No, all you need is a superstar and everything else figures it self out!

All the coach needs to do is show up and win. They are so overrated and pointless in the NBA, TBH.

[ragas]

Watch a game of the Slovenian National Team with Doncic and Dragic on the floor. That‘s much worse. Donic had a „good“ teacher

[Ed Helicopter Jones]

He'll probably do well with the Pacers.

[ducks]

Yeah 29 big reasons to do so

He did OK last time around.
