GAME 2: Washington Wizards (0-1) vs. Dallas Mavericks (0-1) | 7:30pm CST

[Mavs2021]

There’s actually some stuff here I agree with, finally. But I had a hell of a good time two years ago watching Luka walk down the TWolves and even two years before that when an incredibly inferior team ruined the Phoenix franchise.  That was fun. But yes, Carlisle leaving may have cost this team a ring.  Luka probably bears some responsibility for that. Live and learn.

I don´t think so. Luka has never had any reported issue with coaches and he played for some hard-ass coaches. I think the main responsibility of who Carlisle became lies with Mark Cuban, whose utter shitshow of decade long failure (not just building a roster, but the sexual misconduct stuff etc.) just grinded Carlisle down to the point he took it out on some players like Salah Mejri. It took Indiana two years to build a sufficient roster for him. And nobody would argue it´s spectacular, but it´s not Trey Burke and Dwight Powell either. Happy Indiana is not Destructive Dallas.
