During the press conference after the Dallas Mavericks’ game two loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder on Monday night, Mavs head coach, Rick Carlisle, had some choice words concerning how he feels the Thunder are playing.
“We don’t like the cheap shots when they give them, and they don’t like them if we give them.” Said Carlisle. “The dirty ********’s got to stop.”
Coach Carlisle also acknowledged that playoff basketball is physical. There are apparently some aspects to the Thunder defense that he and the Maverick’s players are not okay with.
Listen, every little thing is frustrating when you’re losing games in the post-season, especially when you’re losing close game. This series would look a lot different had Dallas taken either of the first two games on the road.
The defending champs are in an 0-2 hole and will get a chance to start digging themselves out when the series heads to Dallas on Thursday night.
