ClutchFans Game Thread: Mavericks @ Rockets 4/18/2015 (Playoffs Round 1, Game 1)

James Harden tonight brought 51 points to the table by scoring 24 and assisting on 27 and only took 11 shots from the field & I don't even need to count all Harden - Smith - Capela/Jones/Dwight combos

Dwight and JET at the podium. Love JET!! Sign this guy up as an assistant coach when he retires.

 

but at the end of the day, at least he can look down on his shirt cuff, read his initials embroidered in, and remember what they stand for. deeeeez nuttzzzz

 

"Hey, guys, Mark Cuban thinks you basically suck as a team."

 

So I just saw this on Dallas-Mavs.com. Some serious trolling going on over there. Huge size. Spoiler

Harden really needs to knock down more shots, but if he's passing and playing defense like he did tonight, we'll be just fine.

 

Terry and Howard doing their postgame conferences together now

 

1 and 4 are ridiculous. you must have overdosed on the triple cheese pizza. Dwight was baited the whole game. Prigioni did exactly what we needed him to do.

 

I mean... did you watch Howard? He was great in his limited minutes and didn't make stupid fouls... he got called for bogus BS they weren't even calling on the other side.

That part seems an unfair assessment.

And we can definitely win in Dallas even if Dirk shoots well. We've already done it this year and we will do it again. I know what you mean, but cmon have a little more faith!

 

Rondo was a -25, wow. Nice pickup Cuban.

Meanwhile, Barea was a +12. If I'm Carlisle I'm giving him more minutes than Rondo in Game 2

To release pressure... running the break I mean.... Tjones has been decent at that. Josh at times can do that as well...

We get too pampered with High Basketball IQ because lets face

it, we have some of the most intelligent players on the roster in terms of

BBall IQ

 

Stunning statistic. Rondo is pure garbage. The Rockets were correct to leave him open all night.

 

Knew I should have stopped reading after you said you went to play at Chuck E. Cheese, but after #1 you should be banned.

omgerhd HAR HAR.

 

I hate to say it, but I get the same feeling. Howard's fouls seem so petty for the refs to call. Its almost like they're purposely trying to make sure he's not a factor. If he got the same privileges as Dirk got this wouldn't be a issue

 

LOL @ the jokes

 

Rondo is a threat to us, so is Barea.
