ClutchFans Game Thread: Mavericks @ Rockets 3/31/2024

I doubt that you will be championship contenders without making the Finals or WCF.......

And in one year WCF? You must already be consecutively in the 2nd or 3rd rounds to be claiming that.

I think you can say they might be a very good team but without the Playoff experience, they are not contenders not in 1 or 2 years.

 

If Jabari would have score 40 it would not helped us…he does not affect certain games…oh well….just shocking….here come Minnesota…yikes

 

Gotta come back to earth at some point. But sadly will be grounded for a while after this loss and warriors win

 

So ime decided to trap Luka in the 4th when the game was over and it actually worked…..bruhhhhh

 

yes green is better than houston harden who was an mvp. so where is green mvp performance

 

What's troubling is what Calvin just said "that it's unfortunate that his excellent game didn't impact the team with a win...but, he did his job, wish the others had done theirs "...Calvin said not me. I think he knows a little about basketball.

 

Luka had 12 boards. Was out rebounding Jock, Amen, whomever we had out there.

It's once thing to lose at home, it's another to get out classed.

They just trapped Jalen and either Jalen force a bad shot or when he does pass out it's a TO, or the other guys just seem lost. The counter moves in this offense are not there tonight.

When they have trees plus getting back on transitional D, team is getting exposed.

 

I thought majority of CF were content just to have a .500 record------and not expecting a play-in----there's even a survey/poll..

 

I believe Jalen and Sengun are young stars but we need a big trade for another big star….we need more help

 

Don’t get @Reeko all riled up.

 

Let's cut our losses and move on without much mouth gymnastics.

 

Jalen didn't really commit turnovers out of the double. He had two the entire game. He did try to force it a couple of times where he held it for too long.

 

This was an important game and the Rox didn't really coach or play like it. Don't feel like the team put their best foot forward. This game looked bigger for Dallas than it did for the Rox. Not as disappointed with them losing as I am in how they lost. No real sense of urgency.

 

They are borderline stars but so will be Amen and Cam .....but there are no contracts for borderline stars.

It is either Super Max, Max or less.

 

LOL...if the other starters contributed more than 30 for the whole game...well, you get it..or maybe you don't.

 

Jabari is always an afterthought in the offense even when he’s hot

his season high in shot attempts is just 18, and he’s taken at least 15 shots in just 8 of his 68 games played

if 3 different players can’t get a shot off, and 4 different options out of an offensive set haven’t worked, then Jabari gets the shot on that possession…Jabari is the backup singer that’s so far in the background, they’re damn near off the stage while the group is performing…Jabari basically singing in the backstage dressing room

 

The 2nd pass out of the trap. They played the passing lanes and read us like a children's book. FVV played bad, Jalen played bad and Dillon was a no show. People still want stick up for a specific player when the team was just trash tonight.

Team lost badly and we're allowed to vent.

 

Yeah...Ime said the same thing...but, yeah...mouth gymnastics I guess.

 

I'm not counting Amen as he can create separation but it's separation for a broken jump shot. So out of Jalen, FVV, BD and Bari, Bari is the least capable of creating his own shot. That's why this is the case.

 

Amen needs to gain more experience at point guard, there is not a future for him playing the Dunker Role if we are going against a shot blocker…he needs to learn to shoot outside and play in the point guard role…Cam is a elite player
