I wouldn't read too much into this. While LM is obviously playing well, Carlisle has a long record of heaping over-the-top praise (often transparently absurd) on opposing coaches and players as his team plays them. We saw this when he coached in Dallas too, and would react to it and sometimes be bothered by the content, but it's just his way of selling the game and the league.
