Rick Carlisle said the Mavericks’ ‘abominable’ start was like a Donald Trump debate performance

Rick Carlisle wasn’t pleased with his starters, who went down 21-4 in the first quarter to the Houston Rockets. The U.S. Presidential Debate was happening at the same time, and while Carlisle didn’t watch it (as he was coaching a game), he made a safe assumption about what happened and made this analogy after the game.

Rick Carlisle: "The beginning of the game was abominable. It was a Donald Trump debate performance."

Holy crap. That’s a zinger against his own team and Donald Trump in just 14 words.
