Carlisle: Mavs are ‘going to be around’

Rick Carlisle wasn’t saying it in an emphatic or arrogant way. Well, maybe he was a little emphatic.

But when he was asked after Friday’s 110-107 victory over Phoenix about the state of the Dallas Mavericks at the midpoint of the regular season, he had an interesting answer.

“The team’s fine,” he said. “We’re fine. We’re good. We’re getting better and we’re going to be around.”

In other words, the Mavericks aren’t planning on any slippage moving forward.
