Happy Halloween everyone!

Horribly officiated game so far. Looks like this will be as awful as the PHX-game.

[KillerLeft]

Well this isn’t very fun, so far.

A rare bad Lively game, to this point.

[Mavs2021]

Luka playing like crap, so nothing new. Can we win again?

[KillerLeft]

Houston is playing much harder than the Mavs, so far, and rotating crisply on defense. They’ve got a good coach, even if he does coax team employees into cheating on their husbands, lol.

[JamesConway912]

Good job refs. Destroyed the flow of the game from the first possession.

Horrible game to watch.

[JamesConway912]

12 foul calls in the first quarter

[RGP1981]

Rockets getting what they want against the Mavs defense, without them using any good schemes.

These lineups of 3 offensive players + 1 defensive or two-way player + 1 center sukk. There's no balance.

[Razzmatazz_Hopskidillydoo]

Luka shot hunting LOL

[Mavs2021]

What is Houston challenging? That it was a flagrant foul by Sengun or that these refs will just give them literally every call.

[Mavs2021]

So okay they will give them literally every call.

Not a big fan how Luka has been starting games. A lot of threes when he isn’t making them and tough contested mid range shots with not a lot of plays to get others started. Just dont like how he looks out there

It’s because he can’t beat anyone off the dribble. Either because he’s out of shape, slightly injured, or both. He has started the last three or four seasons this way.

If i am a point guard and i look up in mid second and see Klay has one shot (and 7 last game) i look at that as a personal failing.

[Mavs2021]

Is this D.Wade statue night? Is it not enough we play like total sh*t.

[Chicagojk]

just got beaten up. Disappointing first half.

This team creates the shittiest looks all around. No ball movement, no player movement, just one on one on one. I have no idea how they are even 3-1.

[JamesConway912]

Darn good decision to go with DP. Just exploit the shitty reffing.

[Chicagojk]

Better finish to the first half. Let’s see if they can come out hard. The rebounding has to be better if they want to make a run.

[JamesConway912]

25 fouls in 24 minutes. Multiple reviews of plays.

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