Carlisle On Mavs: 'We Make Hard Work Out Of Sex'

   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."
    I barely even know what that means. But tomorrow I’m going to run it by Dirk “My Sperm Is Getting Slower’’ Nowitzki, who on the first day of training camp this year demonstrated that he, too, has apparently perused The Official Basketball Dictionary And Sex-Education Manual.
