    The guys behind me at the Mavs game said the same thing... then we won. Maybe you're the one that's stubborn about needing a big? Maybe they are too? Maybe?

    Hopefully we can flip Nene for some 2nd round picks. I look forward to the days where he and chandler aren’t on the roster. What is the point in carrying 4 centers on the roster when only one is playable. Seems to be a disconnect between the coach, FO and owner.

    MDA is clearly showing he doesn't care anymore. He knows he's off in the summer regardless. So he's just trying to have fun with these trolling lineups.

    Just need to do a better job getting a body on them, boxing them out and grabbing the rebounds. I know our short guys are capable of it. We can do it. We'll be fine.

    I know it's a broken record now, Rockets success the rest of the season hinges at replacing Danuel House minutes.

    I get what your'e saying that MDA isnt solely responsible for every bad thing that happens to the rockets. I tend to think hes the biggest issue.

    But you can't pretend like there is no correlation between coaching and execution .

    Even if you mean just making shots , we are 13/38 from 3 .... 34 % isnt spectacular but its not awful.

    Look , we ALLLL gang up on james when he has a 2/18 night from 3 . So people b**** about players all the time. However, it is also factual to point out that MDA encourages james to shoot those ( objectively terrible) shots because he can get hot frequently enough.

    A Lukaless Mavs and a team 9 games below .500. I guess you are getting ready for the era after Harden's prime where winning games against scrub teams is the most we will look forward to.

    You have no time because you know that you are making a straw man argument

    The Mavs lost that game because of the coach. All the Mavs had to keep doing is pass it to Porzingis in the paint.... he would have scored 95% of the time. And he got double teamed, he could have passed it out for an open shot.
