    LOL

    CF too spoiled - Harden led both teams in points and rebounds.

    Only CF whines about 35 burger double double.

    Chandler and Nene need to be gone yesterday. Let's get a backup 5 that can actually get on the court.

    What an irregular team! It was a great victory, more important than the victory in Utah because it leaves us first in the Division. A defeat tonight would have been catastrophic.

    The latest trades in the Random trade thread have been increasingly tempting.

    Nice job waiting until the end of the game to respond. But I'll still play along.

    This win is fool's gold. The Mavs didn't have their top player and they were on the road, yet this game went down to the final minutes. We got killed on the board and in the paint. Most nights when you lose the battle of the board and points in the paint you lose. Had the Mavs played smarter, they would have won this game. I thought they should have gone to Kristaps on the block much more than they actually did, lucky for us they didn't.

    Bottom line we have to figure out this back up 5 situation out for real. We have 4 centers on the roster and the head coach only feels comfortable playing 1 (yes I know about Nene's situation). This isn't a formula conducive to long term success. The regular-season win is nice, but it's expected. We are (supposedly) competing for a championship. We should be rounding into form right about now....yet we are not.

    This win wasn't because of MDA. He played a risky game, and we almost blew it.... yet again. The only reason we won is because Harden and Westbrook bailed him out.

    If the Mavs were smart enough, they could have passed it to Porzingis all night and he would have got at least 50 plus. Nobody would have stopped him due to our terrible height disadvantage. We don't have defense to begin with.... but if you mix that with a small team, you're not going to win many games, especially against the better teams.

    Nah the OP was something about James being back, I juts said yeah for this game he finally looked almost like the THE James Harden... very happy with the win. Wish James didn’t give up so many easy 3s with lazy D but he more than made up for it on the O tonight finally !
