About the Mavericks (23-20): This is almost like an extension of a long, long road trip. Allow Rick Carlisle to explain: “We’re in the midst of one of the really unusual trips I’ve ever been on in 19 or 20 years of head coaching and 30-some years of playing or coaching. It’s six days, we’re home for a day and a half, then we go back on the road and play five games.
