Mavs 127, Clippers 121

Thanks for the comment. Not quite sure just what you are saying. 

A.  If Carlisle thinks Luka's trash talk is risking retaliation, he will rein Luka in. 

B.  If the Clips start making dirty plays on Luka, Carlisle will convince the refs to put a stop to it. 

C. Something else.

I'm saying that Rick Carlisle is much more capable of performing the relevant risk/reward analysis than anyone around here.  If Carlisle determines that the risks of trash talk, etc., outweigh the rewards, then he will advise Luka, "Cut the crap, Kid, and stick to this  and this  and this" (or, more likely, Carlisle would caution Luka about what potential pitfalls to avoid, without forbidding trash talk altogether).

I expect the Clippers to "retaliate" (in some "dirty" way) tomorrow.  I expect Carlisle to have his team well prepared for that contingency.
