Wow...that was tough to watch. I don't even think the Rockets played good but they had no problem putting the Mavs down. Almost like they were playing the wizards. Where is the fight?
Gafford was horrible tonight. unplayable.
The defense has been really bad lately. Like no resistance. That needs to change immediately. If you are a non star, you don't play D or make mistakes, you aren't getting minutes. Dinwiddie and Gafford were the two that stuck out, but they had a whole team join them.
I like Klay, I really do. But do we really need to go into heat check mode when he makes an early three? Can we let the game come to him. And the turnovers...they continue. Just really bad TO from Klay.
Give up free throws early is a killer. I can't remember them all in the first. But a few ticky tack lazy calls and Houston got into the penalty early. Just a killer.
Kyrie needs to be better. Not good tonight.
I know Lively is on a minute limit, but he had 3-4 really nice hook shots. Lets do that more often. Especially against a defender like Senguin. With a short handed team, can we see a game where he gets 15 shot attempts? I like his passing, but when you have the ball in the lane how about shooting it rather than passing it out to Maxi at the three point line.
Hope PJ is ok. Tough part of the schedule, but Mavs have little room for error. They are not playing the right way to even give themselves a chance right now. Every good team is going to punish them if this is the defense they are going to play.
