Q&A with Rick Carlisle on ‘almost impossible’ task of game-planning vs. Luka Doncic for Mavs-Pacers | CallieCaplan
Carlisle coached 10 of the 15 Mavericks on the current roster for at least one season, but they’re playing with a different system and defensive focus under coach Jason Kidd. Individual players have also adopted different roles, such as Kristaps Porzingis receiving more offensive touches in the post, which Carlisle restricted the previous two seasons.“I spent all my time here with Carlisle, a great coach, but it’s going to be fun,” Dorian Finney-Smith said after the Mavericks’ practice Friday.
Carlisle: As far as coming back, it’s going to be great to see a lot of special people that I got to know over 13 amazing years. Just a lot of special people in the organization, people that became trusted friends, and that part of it will be great. You know, when you leave a situation like Dallas, you miss a lot of people that you form special bonds with.
It’ll obviously be a tough game. They’re rested and they’re healthy right now, to my knowledge. So we’re a little banged up, but that’s all right. That’s all part of it. A: Jason’s done a tremendous job. They’ve made great adjustments throughout the season. It’s great to see KP healthy and playing the way he’s playing this year. Luka’s obviously one of the top players in the world, and he’s an almost impossible guy to game-plan for because he has so many different ways that he can beat you. They’re playing at a very high level right now.
