ClutchFans Game Thread: Mavericks @ Rockets 4/21/2015 (Playoffs Round 1, Game 2)

it will be completely on mchale to capitalize on this...they don't really have athletic forwards outside of aminu/jefferson?..so i think ariza can spend some time on monta if need be...


really hope we capitalize on their weakness!

 

Too bad about Parsons, I don't like when fans get happy about other player injuries.

 

This. In those scrub game 1 mins he hit 2 threes with ease. They better not play off him. He can't play much D but the dude is almost automatic from 3 and that may be all it takes to make a difference. We have to play them 110% and play good D. I really hope the sting of last years playoffs still linger with this team just as it does with me.

 

Rox need to continue to take the professional approach and go out and take care of business tonight. Even with Mavs at full strength, the Rox are still the better team. Can't go out half assed tonight or this can be a tough one.

Parsons probably out for the series. Rockets will sweep

 

Have to go for the throat tonight.

Blow them out, destroy their confidence and finish them off in Game 4 or 5.

 

Play CV tight like real tight

No way can that geezer put the ball down and beat you by driving

All he does these days is jack up 3's and hits his fair share

 

Well damn. That is unexpected.

I'm actually disappointed now

 

Parsons was not playing well. Period

 

Game starts at 8pm right

 

+1

This will be the "we were on a back to back" excuse for the series. Wanted to humiliate them at full strength.

 

This news is not as good as people thinking.

Jefferson is much better than a broken Parsons on the court.

 

Wish Parsons was playing. Love seeing us kicking his butt, and it was extra motivation. Also, I was very disappointed with the crowd not being loud enough at one point in the game, and as soon as Parsons touched the ball, that worry went away.

 

Hmmm, the Dallas is missing a point guard and a forward for this game?

Sounds awefully familiar to another team's injury situation

EDIT: role-playing point guard and forward

 

Are you comparing scrub D-Mo and scrub Pat to $46,000,000 superstar Parsons?

I kid.

You know the fact we're missing 2 of our starting 5 means nothing in the narrative that Dallas were hindered without Parsons and would've won the series with him.

 

With Parsons not there, look for the big 3 of Rondo, Monta, and Dirk to get more touches.

Man, I really hope our guys are ready for whatever. Hoping they don't think this is some big break.

 

Do not care too much about other team's plights. WIN REGARDLESS. GO ROX
