I think Salah getting tossed and continuing to complain then having Carlisle tell him “you have 2 f**king points, get the f**k out of here” might be my favorite part of this season. pic.twitter.com/nRjnN5Ue8R

The Dallas Mavericks beat down the Washington Wizards from beginning to end Monday night, but one Maverick registered a loss in an argument with his coach.
Center Salah Mejri picked up two quick technical fouls just 10 minutes into the game for arguing with the referees. He continued to complain to head coach Rick Carlisle as he headed off the court, but a fed-up Carlisle could be seen telling Mejri: "You have two f---ing points. Get the f--- out of here."
Postgame, Carlisle was asked about the moment. "As I look at it now, he's the only guy that was a negative," he told ESPN's Tim MacMahon, referring to Mejri being a minus-2 during the 98-75 win.
"Maybe it worked out all right. Salah and I have a thing going about the officials. He just can't help himself; I think he feels like he can reason with those guys. We're going to continue to work with him."
