Rick coached the Pistons before Larry Brown came. Anyway,the had 2 legit MVP contenders in my opinion Ron Artest and Jermaine O'Neal. Awesome pg Jamal Tinsley. Al Harington,Stephen Jackson,and ofc Reggie Miller. I still think Pistons should have beaten the Spurs and gone back to back,but if the Malice didn't happen,i don't think anyone was stopping the Pacers.

He´s one of the few elite coaches in the game it would be nice to see him with an elite roster. It was wishful thinking. There is no way Rick was going to put more pressure on Mike by putting it out there that he was interested in that job. Mike is under and unprecedented amount of pressure as it is. Anything short of the title and he might be out.

    Put a Kawhi, KD, type player next to these guys we have. ( Pacers Season Ticket Holder BTW ) and we win a ring hands down. I agree we are a 4th to 5th seed team with 2nd or 3rd elimination team. We need that star

    Firing macmillan was a mistake they slipped defensively from 7th to 14 th Carlisle has to work hard on that end .Particularly , on perimeter 3 D . Theyve moved some pieces around have a young roster and can add some more in draft. Right now he has to look and evaluate what theyve got make sense of that jig saw puzzle . I'm sure they wanted his input on draft needs so the quick hire.

      @ Kilika765…if you think about it, if Nate is still with the pacers…the hawks aren’t in the playoffs rn. They were 14-20 with Pierce and we’re bad with him in previous years. As well as he got fired midway through the season. So, they wouldn’t be here right now. With Nate, the pacers could’ve won 41 games. If they get the 5th seed…they’d beat the Knicks. With how Ben played…they’d beat the sixers too. So they’d be in the ECF.

      @ Kilika765…and that’s what my friend said was the roster was better. Which I think is up for debate. I honestly think brogdan and levert are better than the second and third best players on the hawks. But that’s up for debate. I feel what you’re saying though. My thing with Nate in Indy was…I thought he ran into bad luck. I mean he ran into lebron twice, in which I think were lebron’s two best years, then the next two years he went into the playoffs with his best player not available to play due to injury. And this pacers team to me…and I’m not a pacers fan, but from everything go saw and heard, it seemed as if coaching held them back this past season. I think even with Nate their highest ceiling was the ECF, but that’s with playing the right team, having the right team lose to another team, etc. But I thought they could get there at very best. I definitely think they were better than first rd sweeps. Or losing in the play in game.
