Rick Carlisle rips OJ Mayo after loss to Grizzlies
OJ Mayo has been on of the most inconsistent players on a disappointing Dallas Mavericks team this season.

Are the Dallas Mavericks done for the year?
The Dallas Mavericks are only 2 seasons removed as the NBA champs. They were pretty much the “Cinderella team” of the 2011 season after coming in kind of under the radar to take on the giants of the league and eventually beat the bad team from the east, the Miami Heat and get their vengeance from 2006. Then something happened, the season ended, the current bargaining contract...
