Do you mean over the last decade? Or in the last game? I assume you mean the former.
I tried alluding to it in my original post, saying that there wasn't much RC could do given the front office choices in building a team post championship. And it has been true that RC did overperform with subpar talent in the mid 2010's. However, results matter at the end of the day. Multiple first round exits gets coaches fired. We've seen it as recent as this week.
Right now, today, I think Carlisle isn't on his top game. Call it being burnt out or whatever he doesn't seem to have the same sort of drive, at least to me. When it comes to replacing him though it's a moot point because there aren't any clear cut better coaches out there imo. And a coaching change isn't something you want to do just because.
If there was a Budenholzer/Stevens/Pop/Nurse out there available I'd be clamoring for an RC fire train. But there isn't so it doesn't matter.
