The tension between Rondo and Carlisle about play-calling had been brewing for a little while, team sources told ESPNDallas.com. It reached a boiling point when Rondo appeared to blow off a play call from the bench, prompting Carlisle to storm onto the court while calling a timeout and shouting at Rondo, who responded in kind.

Carlisle, a genius who happened to be a psychology major at Virginia, doesn't publicly show up a proud player like Rondo without some premeditation. Carlisle might never admit this, but he clearly wanted that confrontation to happen.

That's far from the only issue with Rondo, who has been underwhelming in a Mavs uniform, averaging 9.0 points, 6.2 assists, 4.5 rebounds and 2.9 turnovers during 25 games with Dallas.

However, it's hard to envision Carlisle fighting to keep Rondo if they're fighting with each other.

I'm not sure anyone was so on board with that trade when it happened. Dallas had the most efficient offense in the game, since they've gotten Rondo, the offense has gotten worse.

Rondo's playing time has steadily gone down since coming over, and he's basically a role player, a 9 and 6 guy, wayyyyy below average point guard at this point.

Maybe Dallas will alienate Rick Carlisle and he can quit and then come coach New Orleans

frick every Mavs fan for freaking out at the many of us that suggested the trade wasn't a guaranteed improvement.

I got ripped apart for not thinking it didn't turn them into a automatic finals lock

Lol at the Houston fans downplaying this since they didn't end up with Rondo.
