Pulling Luka up 30-11 in the first quarter of Game 3, and those Game 6 timeouts that killed all momentum were pretty clear mistakes that lost the series. Rick had to go.
Nelson had to go. Carlisle was like 50/50. He didnt really have a good roster to work with, so i dont think any coach would have done better. Porzingis should be next.

Also, if the rumors are true, then Haralabos was setting the rotation and strategies, meaning Rick was literally doing nothing but calling bad timeouts and icing his own team.
Luka needs to use all of the power the media thinks he has and get rid of the gambler as well.
And haven’t gotten out the FIRST round in 10 years. You have no future.
First you have no draft picks. You have to attach them to get rid of a salary that big. Second, no big free agent is coming to Dallas. Third, go ahead and give a player that much power. See where it leads you. Fourth, keep trading away picks, that will hinder any ability for trades.
Cuban gonna around, trade Porzingis and more draft picks for Kemba
despite not getting past the first round in 10 years, they still accomplished infinitely more than houston
over the past 20 years dallas consistently checked the boxes on all of those things and houston checked none of those and dallas STILL had more success than houston
Imagine blaming Carlisle for Cuban serving up sandwiches for a decade.
The issue I'd say is....who is left out there? And will the Mavs get him over other teams coach-searching
Grass always greener, etc
They already have Jamahl Mosley in house. Otherwise I’d bet they go Becky Hammon for the positive PR.
Having Luka kinda makes the coach irrelevant, kinda like a team with LeBron. All the coach has to do is stay on the superstar’s good side and keep out of their way. Carlisle failed miserably at both this season.
wasted years of prime Harden by signing Dwight.
copium tbh
this is where i don't get the ing pop hate, like he's remade this team so many ing times, it's not his fault they guy they built their team around decided to bail. And everyone's all mad they made that trade but losing kawhi was always going to them anyway so why give him what he wanted when they were always going to get nothing back.
Coaches get too full of themselves, too much hubris, and they show their asses and get fired. Pop showed his ass on multiple occasions but somehow kept his job. They start to treat the team like a personal experiment, like they had an epiphany that said go against common sense and do the unthinkable. They do, it flops, they walk.
Best coach in the game.
These youngsters can't handle hard coaching anymore. Dallas will regret Carlisle leaving.
Please come to SA Rick!
actually, one of the worst coaches in the nba, with Pop.
I’d much rather have Mosley than Kidd, but whatever. Luka’s running the team regardless.
