Mavericks Team Report (Yahoo! Sports)
Dallas Mavericks coach Rick Carlisle is not happy with referee treatment of his superstar this season.
Carlisle said Dirk Nowitzki doesn't go to the free-throw line nearly as much as he should and he's tempted to let the league know about it.

Nowitzki entered Sunday's game at Memphis ranked 16th in the league in free throws attempted with 201 and 19th in...
