    Honestly despite giving up the lead in the 4th I felt pretty good about tonight. Our two stars played hard and pretty intelligently, for the most part. The bench was good and Rivers was clutch.

    We still have to figure out the defense, and PJ still needs time to get his shoulder right and his shot back. But there was a lot of good stuff today. If Harden is nearing a full recovery that would be awesome too, because the Rockets would be a dangerous team.

    And I wish we would win EVERY game.

    We still have Divisions? LOL, it almost seems meaningless now for some weird reason. It's different than the NFL. Conference standing is everything in the NBA now days.

    Tilman should have just cut him to save the money lol. Apparently the coach doesn't trust him.

    Rockets were down to the wire with a Luka-less Mavs team at home even after shooting great from 3.


    Hard to feel good about this team.

    LMAO I knew it had to be some kind of record.......3 available centers on the roster but the coach does this. Really a damning statement about how he feels about his reserve bigs. Morey has some serious work to do this season and in the off-season.

    I always am happy when the Rockets win, and I understand it will not happen every night. However, they let double-digit leads slip away too easily and too often.

    We aren't a good defense team so it will be hard for us to hold leads for the duration of the game.

    The Mavs are a top 3 road team and beat the bucks and sixers without luka

    you ve practiced felling bad so long and as often as you could so you forgot how to do the opposite
    you become very good at feeling very bad and this is not a good mix
    we are never feeling our circumstances but only what we practice to feel
    so feel good now regardless

    Jeez what a stat. I bet MDA saves this to use as an aphrodisiac.

    Why do they even interview MDA after a game? He is so blase about everything. It's like he takes too many chill pills. Peace, love, and small ball should be his signature T-shirt design.

    I'm so glad they didnt blow that... defense/rebounding a problem down the stretch, could've used some size. Harden stepped up a little late, thank goodness.

    You're right. Division leaders are no longer guaranteed the local advantage. I got “stuck in time” with the old rules. My mistake!
