Carlisle: Something About Hard Work, Sex

The Dallas Mavericks’ head coach has probably never said a single interesting thing to the press before, and the one time he decides to do so, no one can understand what he’s talking about: “Rick Carlisle offered an eloquent addition to The Official Basketball Dictionary And Sex-Education Manual when the coach described his Mavs’ penchant for making a difficult victory (like Monday’s 94-90 win over the Hornets) out of what should’ve been easy (Dallas was up 21 early but committed a mind-numbing 23 turnovers). ‘We need,’ said the coach of the 18-7 Mavericks, ‘to not always make hard work out of sex.”‘

    He’s quoting his wife…

  • Hursty Posted: Dec.15 at 9:10 am
    Hahahah! This is quote of the year so far!

  • Krishan Posted: Dec.15 at 9:11 am
    Is this an american thing then? You know like how australians call girls sheilas and british call cigarettes f#gs? Because I sweear to god, I’ve been staring at that line for a good fifteen minutes and for the life of me I couldn’t grasp a semblance of sense out of it.

  • Hursty Posted: Dec.15 at 9:14 am
    I understood what he meant Krishan.
    He’s trying to say that sex should be easy and comfortable. Not difficult like the way the Mavericks played.
    Imagine how the press felt hearing that analogy haha.

  • Krishan Posted: Dec.15 at 9:14 am
    So I guess winning against scrub teams should be like sex, uhm easy sex (???), and the mavs blowing big leads make the easy sex hard work? WTF man.

  • Hursty Posted: Dec.15 at 9:17 am
    Yeh I guess so.
    Btw, it would totally be appropriate for me to point out right now this “blowing big leads”. Change the ‘e’ in leads to an ‘o’.

  • Krishan Posted: Dec.15 at 9:24 am
    Haha @ Hursty. AC Green must be spinning in his grave

    this… this will be the quote of the century…

  • tavoris Posted: Dec.15 at 10:07 am
    Carlisle came completely out of left field with that one. I’m sure everybody in the room stuttered immediately.

    Whatever you say, Jim Carrey.

    Kobe was wondering the same thing when she just wouldn’t stop squirming.

  • LA Huey Posted: Dec.15 at 1:04 pm
    Anton…..

  • Allenp Posted: Dec.15 at 1:17 pm
    Anton thinks about that Colorado hotel room a lot.

  • Yassi Posted: Dec.15 at 1:17 pm
    @Krishan: maybe you shouldnt be mentioning “blowing big leads” yourself :D it only adds to the fun of it though.

  • Jer Boi Posted: Dec.15 at 2:34 pm
    late candidate for quote of the decade!

  • Dang I'm Nice!!! Posted: Dec.15 at 3:18 pm

  • Dacre Posted: Dec.15 at 3:44 pm
    That Carlisle is a beast.

  • Dacre Posted: Dec.15 at 3:45 pm
    If you open the article – there is a link to Dirk saying something even far more amazing.

  • chiqo Posted: Dec.15 at 3:51 pm
    i’m sure women everywhere are thrilled to hear him saying such things. “of course sex is easy, i just lay there and three minutes later it’s all over.”

  • Yassi Posted: Dec.15 at 4:21 pm

  • ab_40 Posted: Dec.15 at 4:28 pm

  • Anton Posted: Dec.15 at 9:25 pm
    Growing a lead by penetrating to the hole

  • Heals Posted: Dec.15 at 11:32 pm
    C’mon ya’ll, don’t over-think/over-work at something that is enjoyable…

  • Darksaber Posted: Dec.16 at 3:23 am
    Krishan’s utter confusion and most of the comments after that made me laugh like a donkey. Hursty, Anton, you guys are hilarious.
