    KD forgettable game. He's allowed to have that after the hot streak he's been on.

    Sengun always looks out of shape

    Why is he 23 and built like the honorable judge of the food court?

    escape with a victory

    Sengun, struggling all game, with the go-ahead (almost-missed) shot

    Your distain might make sense if he was constantly playing in the post.

    Not spending 99% of his time behind the perimeter.

    Good to see the Rockets win one even with KD and Alpi having somewhat off nights

    Another strong playmaking game from Amen. I really think we would take off if we had a designated run and gun lineup where it's Amen and 4 shooters. KD is incredible but we waste SO MUCH time trying to get the ball to him at the start of possessions.

    Coop was scary in the last few minutes, and the Mavs play HARD (there’s a reason why basically all their games are close)

    But our guys managed to defend just enough to pull out the win! That’s all that matters in the end!

    If either Alpi, KD, or Reed had even an average shooting game, I don’t think it’d be close. But then again if the Mavs could hit free-throws it might have been dicey for us. And if my grandmother had wheels, she would’ve been a bike, so it is what it is.

    Good to get the W, on to the next!!

    6/20 shooting against a team without AD is not good. Alpi needs to lock in better especially against undermanned teams like these

    they were guarding him really loose for some reason. Flagg isn’t that explosive. looks fishy to me. ABC kept hyping up flagg also
