Game 34: Dallas Mavericks (20-13) vs. Houston Rockets (21-11) | 7:00pm CST

[SleepingHero]

The team fell asleep tonight and put out no effort in the second half. Naji throwing a closed fisted punch like a moron has caused all sorts of butterfly effects for this team and looks like the catalyst for a fairly lengthy losing streak. Closed fist?  ? Idiotic. Does he not know the history of the NBA?  You never, ever do that.

Eh I liked that he stood up for his teammate. Strategically it was pretty dumb getting suspended like that, but I'm not going to be mad at Naji for acting like an enforcer when we need that kind of juice. 

The real issue is the health of the team overall. If we had Luka tonight, this was a win. If PJ doesn't get hurt, we probably look more competitive than we have been. Kyrie also deferred a lot which was pretty dumb.

I hope Exum can come back because we've been getting a LOT of bad Dinwiddie recently. The counting stats have looked ok, but the actual game choices have been horrible.
