The Middle of Everywhere: NWI
So it's Carlisle's fault Stephen Jackson was a fucking moron and still is today? It's Carlisle's fault that the FO was completely inept in handling Artest's trade request? And the best one yet - It's Carlisle's fault that LeBron and Wade made circuses of themselves in the early 2010's?The other way to look at it was he was at the helm when all that bad stuff went down. He led you to a record win total and got you where? The Mavs are clearly more competitive this year without him there.
The Mavs got on an incredible hot streak and were still lucky that Wade, LeBron, and Bosh had not learned how to play together yet to get their championship. Carlisle is a mediocre coach, not bad, but not great. I feel the same about Casey, so bringing him in does not help your cause here. Lightning will not strike twice-Carlisle won't get your team to the promised land.
