"The Dallas Mavericks are the only NBA team that hasn’t played the same 5-man lineup together for at least 30 minutes this season."

I really hate the whole concept of questioning Rick at this point. He has 9 legitimate candidates for playing time behind Luka and KP and he is playing them. It will take time. Why can't we just watch with great interest and comment on the progress of these guys instead of thinking that we are somehow better qualified to coach.
Every one of these guys is subject to spending time on the bench. But, they all have massive opportunity. How they respond is up to them. When they get their opportunities is not. As for the thread, why can't we just call him Coach, like every other respectful ball player does.
This Reunion Rowdie says the AAC needs "Luka's Lunatics" for the Luka/KP and gang era.

Why is this even negative for you? I mean that's simply what he does. It's an explanation for all the new fans. It is his style. He just tinkers 20-30 games each season. That brings good and bad things with it. Pickle Rick is from Rick and Morty, just a funny mad scientist. Rick has been called that in a positive way before. It's fun, it's not even trolling.

I mean, I think there are things that he isn't doing well, he himself will say that and has. I also think we've seen this merry-go-round year after year. How much do people expect from him when he's given a mostly new group every year to work with? Every year he has to build from scratch instead of building from last year's successes. I will say, this isn't the year to solidify the roster as-is and see what we got for a few years, but it really is what it is. I have a hard time blaming him for any of that.

In American English, those things are confusing, but might cause someone to think: "Pickle Rick" is a sentence which means to put Rick through the pickling process. Calling someone "tinkerbell" is to call them effeminate. amiright?

I guess I missed the fun and instead concluded you were posting at Rick's expense. Trolling is a broad term which I have never used. It is too broad and to much of an accusation where just like this, I didn't get where you were coming from. I still prefer to support Rick and just leave coaching this team to Coach.

Pickle Rick is literally a Mad Genius Scientist who transformed into a Pickle. It's the most famous episode of the adult swim cartoon Rick and Morty. https://youtu.be/XSqi5s3rfqk Tinkerbell isn't to effeminate him, it's just exaggerating his tinkering, it is only a word play for me. Whatever I'll refrain from depictions like this, seems to delicate for some. Have more faith in people.

You think a NBA coach can dictate to multimillionaire athletes what to do in their free time? This ain’t college bro. They’re pros. 90% of these dudes are out having a good time on the road. The goat MJ was notorious for it.

It's just that on game night, they leave at midnight instead of 4am. That's being a pro lol.

I'm open to most of his tinkering but it's hard to defend Courtney Lee playing a single minute outside of garbage time. He's toasted
Easily our worst player Wright playing such weird, inconsistent minutes also baffles me. I thought he'd be in 1st or 2nd in mpg. I guess there's some stuff happening behind the scenes we're missing. I just hope he gets a run of 32 mpg for around 10 to 15 games soon so we can see what we have. He shows some great flashes then just disappears on both ends for a couple quarters. Correct those 2 things and I'm open to tinkering everywhere else

So that means he has neither much confidence in KP punishing a smaller guy (as he shouldn´t, given KP´s play) nor does he like Luka going up against tall guys, which suggests that he isn´t too much into Luka´s stepbacks..

I've seen enough. I don't care if they win the next 10 by lucky contested pull-up threes.
There is just no excuse. Luka shoots mainly shitty 3s, Hardaway, Brunson, Porzingis. All of them hit their spot up 3s at a great clip. I think Carlisle does a lot of great things, but that gameplan is just stupid. Maybe it is not even his idea, whoever pushes for this. Do you watch the game? Can you read stats properly? Not every 3 is a good shot! |
