Game 5: Houston Rockets (2-2) vs. Dallas Mavericks (3-1) | 7:30pm CST

25 fouls in 24 minutes. Multiple reviews of plays.

Worst half of basketball I’ve watched in a long long time.

[DallasMaverick]

I’d like to just go ahead and predict a Mavs win.

They played poorly, shot poorly, got outrebounded. Houston played mostly mistake-free.

All reversible.

[Chicagojk]

Tough to watch your team get beat up and out hustled.

Everything seems hard on offense. This has happened in most games for segments.

[Mavs2021]

Those refs must have been on my heritage yesterday and found out they have Turkish ancestors.

[Chicagojk]

Man i hope Luka can get right soon. Some tough games for him early in the season. Very little twitchiness.

[BigDirk41]

I absolutely hate the way Luka is playing to start this season. It's hard to watch.

It didn’t work in the first but would like to see Kyrie with grimes and Marshall.  They just need to quicken the pace some.

It´s not even like Houston is playing well, outside of offensive rebounding.

We are just unbelievably bad offensively

For a team that has supposed to get better on offense this season, Luka sure is calling his number far too often.
Ball is sticking to him for far too long too.

100% agree. He's playing way too selfish and he's not even being efficient like usual.

It feels like it.  My concern is how he is moving out there there is no way he wont get injured.  So labored moving.  I am sure the calf impact a lot.  Not all though.  He needs to get his body right and get in better shape if he wants to handle the log season imo.

Man, Houston is kicking our ass.

[Jym]

did a random fan dress up as Luka?

[BigDirk41]

Showing a little life. Hopefully it's not too late.

[Chicagojk]

At the beginning of the fourth after sitting longer than usual, Luka looked like me trying to run up and down the court. LOL. Nice defensive rebound though.

[KillerLeft]

This is what it looks like when BOTH Luka and Lively play poorly, which doesn’t happen very often, but is the common denominator between the Suns loss and this game.

[Chicagojk]

Just leave no room for error.  Can happen but really tough to do so late.

[KillerLeft]

The Mavs came out of this time out finally ready to get play, but it might be too little, too late.

[KillerLeft]

PJ and Kyrie have been champs tonight.

Quoting myself, because this is one of the most correct live game posts I’ve ever written.

[Chicagojk]

Finally showing some fight. Still plenty of time left. Would be nice to get some non Kyrie threes.
