At some point and time we need to make bigger strides to improve our postseason play.
Noone assumed the Pacers would do bad because of Carlisle. Again you are jumping to conclusions. The only things said about Carlisle by Pistons fans pertaining to the playoffs had to do with his tenure in Detroit not Indy. You again are assuming, by interpretting what I'm saying as something else. Take my words for what the say, not what you thin they mean.
I have never said anything negative about the way Carlisle coached here except his substitution patterns and his ability to get alng with the players. Other than that I feel he is a great coach, you're barking up the wrong tree with this "You Detroit fans and how you feel about Carlisle in the playoffs thing". It wasn't me that said that.

Ok, after 6 pages of nonsence, you've finally said something right. Why couldn't you have just said this much earlier? It would have saved alot of mine and yours time from replying to every message.
Based on your comment, you're right. You brought in LB to win the title. As we brought in Carlisle to win the title.
The reason why i was argueing with you was, everytime the standings are brought in, for some reason Det fans always say "yeah you're good now but wait til the playoffs" like they (not you specificially) know what will happen in the playoffs. East is very weak this season, so the good teams (Indy, Det, NO, NJ) could do alot of damage in the playoffs, if they are seeded in the right place to avoid one of these top 4 and hope for a upset somewhere else.
Detriot is an awsome team, who is/was (have been really busy last few days so i havn't paid attention to nba since last fri besides indy) in a slump, which means nothing because Det is good enough to get over the slump, go on a 8 game win streak and be a top 4 seed in the east. I just wish people would stop predicting the playoffs in December. I'd put Indiana and Detriot top 2 teams in the east (oviously not seeded since we're both in same divison) but i don't think NO or NJ can beat either of our teams and Indy/Det is very debatable, although having already beat Detriot in your arena and having Carlisle on our side who knows many of your players i'd give the slight edge to Indiana, but we meet alot more and the season isn't even half over so playoff talk can wait for a while.
I personally HATE looking at the standings in the NBA until Christmas/New Years, that's when i usually look and see where everyone is shaped and how the "playoff picture" is starting to look. The only reason why i brought up the standings few days ago because one Det poster said Det will be very close to Indiana because we will go on a slump, which we did, but every team will go on slumps so i just wanted to point it out as a half serious/half joke post.
Anyways, good luck rest of the season (except Friday).
Does it feel good or what??
