This is the one thing I've seen little or no mention of so far in this off season: do we need a new coach? I'm sorry if this offends you but I personally think that Rick Carlisle is not qualified to coach an NBA team or anything beyond high-school b-ball to be honest. He could only come up with one lineup change vs. the Spurs and he ran it way too much. Small ball is fine and dandy but you don't do it all the time, period. Haywood played an inexcusably low amount of minutes and Caron Butler was grossly underused as well. It was harder to see during the regular season but after watching him in a series against one of the best coaches in the league (Greg Popovich) his weakness became far more apparent. A man who is more dumbfounded by the "questionable" foul call on your team than the player who it was called against is hardly a man you can expect to rally and/or focus a team that needs to be reigned in and directed when the chips are down. He's never shown me anything that indicates he's good enough to run our team and Jason Kidd, even being the great floor general that he can be, shouldn't be our one and only "authority figure" or team leader.

Feel free to leave your feedbac, call me an idiot or make cheap joke about coach Carlisle, it's all welcomed and appreciated!
