Carlisle peeved w/ Mavs after latest blowout
Dirk Nowitzki - F - Dallas Mavericks
Dec. 31, 2012 - 8:40 AM ET

Rick Carlisle expressed his frustrations with his team following Sunday's blowout loss, even threatening to suspend some of his players.

"In the last week, I had to literally scream in the face of two guys in practices and shootarounds to get the point across; and I will do that, and I will continue to do that," Carlisle said. "If I have to start suspending guys for not doing things that they're supposed to be doing on the court, I'll do it." Carlisle has been extremely unhappy with his team's effort, and the Mavs are now seven games below .500 after losing their eighth game of the season by at least 20 points.
