08:06 AM ET 05.01 | Dallas coach Rick Carlisle doesn't like what he's seeing in the Mavs' opening round-series, and it has very little to do with Xs and Os. [Carlisle] profanely accused Oklahoma City Thunder center Kendrick Perkins of dirty play after Monday night's heated Game 2. ... "It's playoff basketball. It's physical," Carlisle said when asked about the confrontation [between Perkins and Dirk Nowitzki]. "I mean, we don't like the cheap shots when they give them, and they don't like them if we give them. That's the nature of competition. Hey, I love hard play, clean, competitive playoff series. You throw the ball up and may the best team win, but the dirty [bull----] has got to stop. We don't want anybody getting hurt out there either way."

Perkins and Ibaka are certainly getting into Dirk's head
By the way, the Thunder are winning games with Durant shooting at a low percentage, thats not good for the Mavs

Dirk played great -- 31 points on 19 shots.

He played well, but he was still affected emotionally. You are lucky that he didnt get suspended for bumping into Perk

Both Dirk & Jet shot more than Carter in the 4th. Terry shot twice as many times.
