Coaching and Carlisle - Mavs X and O

[dirkfansince1998]

He did it folks he made almost all the adjustments many of us called for and it looked great!

Only his back to the tinkering weirdo small ball lineup with Powell as the only big man to start the 2nd was a really bad idea, his sole bad behavior this game.

Great game from Rick listening to common sense!

I really don´t like this smartest guy in the room attitude. Especially because the Mavs could lose a game with a similar gameplan next week and everyone would be calling for RCs head again.
It´s like people on reddit, twitter or this board actually think that they know more about basketball than a former player and current coach that has been in the league for 35 years.
Yes RC makes mistakes but it´s not like the starting five or the rotations are a given with the current group of players.
For example. If he had followed your advise 2/11 THJ would have been in the starting five but I don´t hear any complains after a win. If he would listen to me THJ and Jackson both would not play. I certainly won´t complain if both actually have a good game. Some people complained about the lack of minutes for Boban . No one even mentioned him today. Half of the board wanted to kick Curry out of the starting five. Guess who gets celebrated for a great game right now.

We all should remember that this isn´t a fantasy bball league. There is no easy solution for everything. Today things worked out but it´s not like the problems are gone. Mavs still struggle from 3 and cannot exploit the double teams Luka draws.

I said in the 3rd I don't mind them losing playing like that. 

Regarding Tim Hardaway I said he is a good fit with Luka and in the starting Lineup, and I stand by that. I think it's his best fit, especially to reign him in.

You should differentiate a bit more, you don't need to like me.

This isn´t about me liking or disliking anyone and I apologize if I somehow offended you with my post. I just think that all of us should realize that this isn´t about being right or wrong. There is no simple fix for all of the Mavs problems. If GMs, coaches or players would listen to our suggestions the starting five would change even more and half the roster would get traded twice a week by a new GM, new coach and maybe even a new owner.
Best example would be the trade Dirk and rebuild crowd in the mid 2000s. I wasn´t part of this community at this point but posted on another board. Mavs fans were going wild and wanted to trade him. Today everyone is acting like it never happened and no one that participated wants to admit it.

It´s a lot easier to voice opinions if you aren´t directly involved. It´s also a lot easier to judge his adjustments in hindsight. Just imagine this place if the "common sense" rotations and schemes lead to a blowout loss against one of the next opponents. I can guarantee you that the same folks that asked for the adjustments will happily bash RC if they won´t work in the next game. He could follow some peoples gameplan in every detail. It wouldn´t change the reaction.
