Why does Carlisle allow OJ Mayo to touch the ball in crunch time?

[midnightpulp]

2:15 88-88 O.J. Mayo misses 24-foot three point jumper
2:14 88-88 O.J. Mayo offensive rebound
1:58 88-88 O.J. Mayo misses 24-foot three point jumper

Rick Carlisle is a dumbass that needs to be fired if they want to go anywhere. Hire Sloan or someone

Mavs ain't cooperating with keeping the Lakers out of the playoffs, tbh.

Why does Carlisle allow Mayo to touch the ball in crunchtime? Why are 80% of Laker fans obese Mexicans? Why is UTSA an excellent institution?

We just don't know. :(

Amazing how incredibly incompetent the Mavs are at closing games.

Wasn't it just 6 seasons ago that the Mavs won 67 games despite having a worse point differential than the Spurs because they were great in closing out games?

Looks like the tanking has started in Dallas. No point in fighting for playoffs and either narrowly missing out or getting swept in the first round.

:lol how do you not just give dirk the ball in crunch time

[Mel_13]

:lol @ amnesty that

Beating the Mavs in Dallas isn't a quality road win in 2013.

If they make the playoffs they either:

Get swept by San Antonio or have to put up with 21 FT nights from Durant.

It's not all mayo or carlisle's fault. In crunch time Dirk has been playing hot potato with the ball, passing up open shots and playing incredibly passive.

Are you ready to meet up in the rectangular area directly beneath the rim and bully some African Americans when I move to Dallas in a few months tbh?

Yes tbh, then we can assault Mexicans at the top of the key imho.

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

Are there Mexicans in Dallas? I was hoping to move away from a city filled mainly with Mexicans to a city filled mainly with blacks. I guess Dallas has the worst of both worlds tbh.

[monosylab1k]

Just stay out of Garland and you'll avoid the worst of them tbh :lol

yeah it was really a pity they missed out on harden tbh

[Clipper Nation]

Maybe it's time to kill the beard idea since they'll all be looking like ZZ Top by the end of the year at this rate :lol

I feel sorry for Rick Carlisle tbh. After two tough losses, he went to get coffee this morning before a long film session, only to find the machine replaced by a sign saying "COFFEE IS FOR CLOSERS ONLY."

In defense of his rankings, Hollinger at the time said that performance in close games is mostly random and that the Mavs had gotten lucky many times.

Stats show that he's right actually; even teams that have little turnover of players are not consistent from year to year in close game winning percentage.
