Carlisle is a great coach..the GM/playes are to blame here..
You spend all summer clawing for Al Harrington..then deal he and SJax off for Dunleavy (stiff) and the overpaid Troy Murphy. Warriors go on a run make the playoffs and the Pacers flounder.
Jermaine O'Neal is not capable of leading a team to a championship they haven't figured this out yet he's always injured and disappears down the stretch...
Jamaal Tinsley is a drunk..he's missed games due to hangover before, he'll sit out with a paper cut and overall just gave up.
They went from Artest to Peja to nothing...that's a serious downgrade..nice job Bird/Walsh.
The team went to hell after Reggie Miller left..no one to say "Hey get your ass in by 11, or get your head in the game" Darrel Armstrong just doesn't have the clout of Reggie Miller, he needed to stay on as a coach or something.
