RICK CARLISLE POUNCED.

The topic of Kristaps Porzingis' post-ups had just been broached after the Dallas Mavericks' 102-98 win over the San Antonio Spurs on Dec. 26, and Carlisle had already heard enough.

"The post-up just isn't a good play anymore," the Mavs' head coach said. "It just isn't a good play. It's not a good play for a 7-foot-3 guy. It's a low-value situation."

But Chris Webber, the color commentator during the game, had spent much of the broadcast imploring Porzingis to go to the low block more.
