A blown charging call that resulted in an Oklahoma City bucket sent Mavericks coach Rick Carlisle off the edge yesterday, and understandably so: the Thunder went to 3-0 in the series against Dallas, nearly ensuring we won't have a repeat NBA champion (which, frankly, was not likely to begin with). All the frustrations, anger, Lamar Odoms, et cetera came out of Carlisle in what we hope was a cathartic experience.
