ClutchFans Game Thread: Mavericks @ Rockets 1/31/2020

End of the game?
My point is you rant when we lose and even whine when we win (as evidenced tonight)

You remind me of the lower income kid who's parents struggle to buy him new shoes
and he gets mad and throws a fit because they are not Nike Air Max

We WON, but you whine because we didn't win the way YOU wanted us to?

Chill out. Enjoy the win.

 

Lol. I remember getting hated on early in the year when I said this team wasn't very good.

 

And save the whopping $1,416,852 they pay him? Now that would be cheaper than cheap.

 

Many of us are just tired of the whiners on here EVERY game.
Win or lose, they still whine.

 

Killed on board and paint, isnt it cause our starting center is out?

 

nevermind it was still fun to see someone still caring about the division records and titles

 

Wouldn't you be blase in his position? He's probably not coming back next year and Fertitta's too cheap to fire him. Doubt he coaches again after this. Plus the man is almost 70. It's like the perfect storm of 'give no fu*ks.'

 

Nice to know Harden and Westbrook can run some great plays and alternate down the stretch, that was a thing of beauty. Still, if we had lost, we can all take a look over to the bench where moustache D is literally losing it.

 

I agree but some of these guys are gambling and playing lazy basketball on defense. It puts a burden on P.J. that affects his shooting late in games.

 

I mean. Why not try to win an NBA game with only 6'5" players and below? Especially if most of your backup 5s are geriatric cases and the other guy forgot to return your chafing dish after the company Christmas potluck or something.

 

Mavs is a great road team and beat Bucks without Doncic. One step in the right direction.

 

or keeping him out of trade talks

 

Almost blew it. I don't think I ever remember seeing a team that can blow leads like the Rockets. A twenty five plus point lead means nothing. I never feel secure.

 

Harden and Westbrook combined for 4 turnovers.

Rockets will win 70% of those games -- unless there's a minutes-played caveat.

 

So Rick Carlisle sucks at coaching too?

 

Not really. We have Hartenstein, who is more than capable of rebounding. It's the others he chooses to play around James and Russ who don't rebound much. Oh, except my man Sefolosha. He had 4 in his first 8 min.

 

I understand the frustration about incessant whining, Also, I still believe that the Rockets are one of three teams capable of winning the Western Conference, provided Morey makes a shrewd addition or two next week. That’s why it frustrates me that they struggle to put teams away. Championship teams don’t consistently let double-digit leads slip away like the Rockets do. If they want to win the title, it’s an area to clean up.

 

Happy with the win. Rivers and McLemore have really shot the ball well lately.

But damn. Did it seem like Porzingis kept getting wide open right under the basket? How does that happen?

 

If nothing else it'd open a roster slot to potentially bring in someone who might actually get on the court lol.
