How many times have I seen best friends yelling at each other on the court... I think Luka statement after the game completely proves that. Carlisle is a grown man and Luka is a smart guy so I have no doubt they talked about it.
I think Luka, who has been in a professional environment since his puberty, would know this is a bad look. He let the public know that he doesn't agree with the coach. I always admired Luka's maturity and well thought interviews. This action was definitely not in line with that perception.
I saw him animated against the bench two times before:
1) When Dennis broke the play and used the possession himself. He was right.
2) He didn't want to come out, then came out anyway grudgingly, which was childishly cute.
This one took long and was disrespectful.
