As a Mavs fan, I will say if you would have told me that the mavs would be the 4th seed 17 games into the season I would of laughed at you. I def disrespected Zaza and thought that an injured matthews would have no benefit but just his defense has made the Mavs relevant...plus the "Dwight powell" trade last season has worked wonders and to see players like deron and McGee looking like stars is something even the biggest Mavs fan could not of predicted. Dirk will always be Dirk so that does not surprise me as much but Coach Carlisle is slowly starting to look like the best coach if not at least top 3 in the entire league behind Coach Pop
I have been here for a few years now hahaha and am also a rockets fan....and have donated more to this site than 90% of its users when it comes to actual money.
Clutchfan is one of the only real forums that the fans actually discuss basketball and not completely fixate on their team only...I respect whoever came up with the daily discussions because I have seen many try it but this is the only site I can say it works each and every day.
You are welcome here with no problem unless you troll the Rockets. You don't have to justify yourself. Just contribute thoughtfully to discussions about anything related to the NBA. It's hard to believe you are a Mavs fan and didn't already realize Carlisle was a top 3 coach.
So Dirk, Parsons, and Deron all can opt out this year; do you think any of them will leave? Serious question
I say home cooking (literally) plus dad's retirement party at halftime (or what ever it is) makes Steph ripe for a fall against the Hornets on Wednesday IF they come into Charlotte undefeated.
17 in 1st qtr when game is kinda tied. 0 in the next 60 where dubs outscore kings 60 - 41 with Curry only contributing in assists. Curry just added 2 fts at the end of 3rd q now. notes: Curry always gives credits to and appreciates every single one of his teammates.
A system matters. When Brandon Rush can come in for Harrison Barnes and rain down threes, you've got a good framework in place.
