    Bro..do you think they just hire like idiots for the medical staff. Like you think they tell him wether he can play or not play thats it???? There is no way it goes down like that.

    I think MDA asks his guys how they feel and if they say they are good to go, he lets them play. What the hell, does he really strike you as a guy that makes his players play if they arent feeling well. Now where he's wrong is that the second Clint looked like total ass out there, he should have pulled him and he did, Clint played 17 minutes. Now is this because of Mike's rotation probably. He's also screwing up massively with James by not making him sit when hes clearly not well at all as well as PJ.

    Thats probably exactly what happened. He is just taking the information hes given from his players and staff.

    Clint only played 17 minutes last game. Other games...yea you are right, hes been ass with letting Clint play and giving him too many minutes when he sees him struggling. But now I dont know what to think.

    Yea its his call, but people are acting like he just makes these dudes run raggid without any basis. And they dont even consider the context of our situation. Mike hasnt been great but everybody is solely putting him on him when its not the case. This is looking more like the medical staff is clearing them to play when they shoulndt.

    Just watching these Mavs playing so serious and hard, while wearing that garbage of a jersey is so surreal.

    But he just said he would rather Clint not play if he's gonna just reinjure himself again? Why are people totally exoneratting the medical staff when there has multiple instances (Golden State, and Boston) where the staff has majorly screwed up.

    reinsure? You mean medical insurance? So that's what he said?
    I am sorry I heard the clip but because of his accent I didn't even get what he said at a part.

    Do you all in Houston speak like MDA?

    Houston Rockets were a jeopardy answer today, and not one contestant got the answer, lol. James Harden led the league in usage rate playing for this team...

    It doesn't help that he barely gets off the ground.

    people always say House is athletic .... i dunno man . Hes above average for OUR squad . But compared to Luc or Ariza a couple of years ago , he has much less success finishing at the rim. I guess that extra 1-2" really plays that big of a difference ?

    being able to finish is a skill and the length of both ariza/lmm can''t be overlooked compared to house's avg length

    Our commentators are really pushing the Harden injury angle ... so did the national commentators last game.

    I wonder if the difference is more noticeable from the floor seats ?
