ClutchFans Game Thread: Mavericks @ Rockets 3/31/2024

Luka's a bigger, fatter Harden. Hell of a player but he probably won't get past the first or second round with Dallas.

 

lol this is where jalen green is supposed to pull a james harden and bail out udoka

 

Trust the team! We have the other half and kids are recently doing better in the second half..

 

Pretty much. It allowed Luka to get a rhythm going. I'm still baffled by the decision to allow that to happen. We would still be in a hole right now, but I don't think it would be quite as big.

 

We should be down a lot more as bad as it is. 3rd quarter is the game obviously, make it a competitive game.

First thing first, Rockets have to defend better. Get it out of Luka's hands. Kyrie has not been as hot, Jabari actually has been on Kyrie and has done a good job on him. If the other Mavs are going to beat you, so be it, because obviously Luka is going to beat you if you don't hard double him.

Offense, just better ball movement and hit your shots. Offense will get going if we can actually get some stops here. Also, I think Cam should be out there with Jalen with how they are doubling Jalen. Give them someone else to worry about.

Refs...call a fair game.

 

I'm far from being an expert on bollywood dancing, but that was not good.

 

I love Amen, but he MUST develop a shot. They ignored him the entire first half when he wasn’t at the basket, making it easy to disrupt everything else. 4 vs 5 on offense is always going to be hard against good teams.

 

Someone fat who has insane basketball iq and is death from the right side of the court.

 

Jalen is getting hard-doubled the moment he crosses half-court, if only he had a teammate who could reliably create his own shot efficently.

But I'm sure he'd just get in the way

 

uhh he already has

 

Gonna need more than Luka for Sengun... Its a no for me..

 

I'd trade our whole team, front office and their families to Siberia if it gets us Luka. Plus my dog.

 

it was difficult to figure out the Easter theme

 

why is our Lord the savior -20 ?!? lol

To shore up the defense, the Rockets should target Tari Eason and Steven Adams this offseason. Make it happen, Stone.

 

I don't remember. My point is he's probably not going to get anywhere close to a championship in Dallas.

 

His cutting actually does help with the spacing--you have to stay attached to some degree, if you turn your back he will slip you and go dunk it. He just isn't finishing well tonight. To be fair they have Lively and also Gafford now so they always have a good shotblocker on the court.

 

Well Jalen is the real deal….we are playing a tough playoff game and Jalen has 12 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists….he is the real deal(sorry…there was a little doubt came up before the game)….he need FRED to shoot more

 

I blame Ime. Disaterclass from him so far.
