    AD with another injury whom just came back from injury to play one of the season best game against us just to get injured once again to go down. Possibly out for a month(s)? But who knows we haven’t been same every time we got blown out by Mavs this season.

    Why is this even a question?

    Isn't it obvious he'll return well rested for the Rockets, put up 35/13, and then be out for the remainder of the season?

    I legit think the Rockets would lose a playoff series to the Mavs if they had Kyrie and AD

    Whilst Steveo's a great rebounder, he's not that impressive a defender against actual big men, and Alpi does what he needs to against most "big men" in the league, but AD's a real one. We just don't have anything to stop their size, despite being a huge team, Kyrie and Flagg as well may be more than we can handle, you're probably right.

    Mavs are good. Why must we wallow in sorrow over it.

    It wouldn’t surprise me. This team needs to take another leap post all star break. Otherwise they would just forced the ball outta KD hands and make the rest of the guys beat us. Similar to how GSW did to us with Jalen. And Ime hasn’t shown us that he can counter that adjustment where they take the ball outdo the best player on our squad.

    Honestly this team needs to keep getting tested in the second half of the season so ime and the staff can know what they need to do to get the best out fk this squad. This team needs to be battle tested heading into the playoffs and I hope Ime don’t do that whole testing the team for a whole week or more leading into postseason


    We beat a lot of teams in November and December that were missing their best players,

    Mavs are stuck with him. Anthony Davis needs his own Medical Room.
