The Dallas Mavericks are 27-33 and had to go through 19 lineup changes because of injuries and poor play. Head coach Rick Carlisle is living the struggle, and basically, he doesn't need the media to remind him of that. On Friday, he told media he had to use 31 different lineups one year (in 2005-06 with the Pacers, to be specific) and have a nice day. Oh yeah, he threw an F-bomb in his statement, too:
Carlisle: "I'm tired of hearing about 19 starting lineups being a lot. I had 31 one year, so you guys can all go f--- yourselves."

But don't fret. Carlisle meant this in the nicest way possible:
RT @eks_mavsnba: Carlisle: "...and I mean that in the most endearing way."
