I think Carlisle is excellent at his job and has been for 25 years. Sometimes his players play excellently as well and make him look great (like the past few months), and sometimes his players play poorly and make him look bad (like in 2010). I think that firing him at any point in his career would have been silly.

I also think that he is getting a disproportionate amount of credit here for having the Pacers still playing basketball in late June than he deserves because I think it is easier for knick fans to rationalize that the knicks were out-coached rather than out-played, when, in reality, they were equal parts both.

Really glad coaching doesn’t matter, because otherwise Carlisle might have the Pacers a game from winning the world championship.

And that’s with his star having one leg in the graveyard
(…and the other one is giving a high five…)

would seem somewhat obvious to heavily favor the thunder on sunday – however, tricky ricky for the pacers is doing one heck of a coaching job this post season…

Do people other than Pacers fan Donnie Walsh not realize that Carlisle has been out coaching everyone?

One of the things being terribly underrated here is Indiana’s defense. It’s surprising (well not really) because they totally gummed up everything we tried to do, and are doing the same to OKC, albeit with a bit less success because OKC is are a better team than the Knicks. Instead, folks are criticizing Thibs and Daigneault rather than crediting both Carlisle and the Pacers’ personnel. Seems like amateur hour here. Is anyone actually watching the games?

Some incredibly dumb shit being posted here today. (Well, MBunge is in the mix, so it’s sort of a given…)

The Pacers aren’t jealous of my ex-wife the New York Knicks, why would they care if I slept with the Sixers for a night or two 11 months before we even started dating?

A lot of the comparisons of three point shooting percentages to mid range shooting percentages are a little unfair. Three point shots are often catch snd shoot shots because offenses are set up to generate catch snd shoot shots there. But mid range shots are usually off the dribble. Almost nobody sets plays to generate catch snd shoots from the mid range. Since catch snd shoot shots are easier to make than off the dribble shots, this biases the statistics in favor of three pointers. It would be more fair to compare off the dribble percentages for three pointers with mid range percentages when assessing “skill levele”.

Essentially, offensive schemes pump up three point percentages relative to mid range ones.
