On this particular one, I haven't heard that. (Granted, I haven't heard everything.) If you are referring to Carlisle's refusing to consider posting KP up, I don't think he meant that they were never going to run plays that contemplate KP's getting to the basket. They run plays like that frequently. By "posting up," I think he meant the classic play of backing your man down, which Dirk was famous for, and possibly also plays where a guy faces the basket on the block and battles one or more opponents there. Both those kinds of plays lead to shooting over an opponent, which is inherently a more difficult shot than an open look, and which KP is not very good at, tbqh.
Enjoyed your observations, as always.
Update on the Golden State game --
Marquese Chriss has been fined $35K for shoving Luka. The fine was so hefty because Chriss has a history of this kind of incident.
