No reason to lose. Dallas is way better than Houston and its home. Chandler will probably be getting rebounds left and right so hes my prediction for POG. Hopefully our streak continues.

Oh and Houston is still the

I'm not going to be disappointed if we win no matter what, but I would really like to see this team blow someone out.

Despite the fact that we have been playing extremely well last week, I would not under-estimate this Rockets team. They have the ability to cause lots of problems and possibly steal a win in Dallas. I hope we continue our winning streak, but i doubt we will blow them out.

LOL @ the toilet picture. :lol:

Dallas has problems with quick PGs, so hopefully they can contain Lowry and Ish Smith.

I would prefer the Mavs to play man against the Rockets since they have a bunch of shooters who can exploit the zone.

Haywood is absolutely worthless. Can't make putbacks and now he's fouling jump shooters 22 feet away from the basket. I rather play Mahinmi as the backup C.

Looks like Barea is out of his slump.

A lot of turnovers to start the half by both teams.

When the hell did Stevenson get that shot? Great start to the 2nd half for him and the Mavs if he continues to play like this than the Mavs found their SG guard.

Butler has been very good the 3rd quarter and the defense has been very stiffling on the Rockets as well.

Haywood is awful.

Jason Terry has been in a slump lately as well. He's in playoff mode.

Am I the only one disappointed we didn't keep the lead at 20?

10 point victory isn't as sexy.

Yes. A 10 point game where you empty your bench is > a 20 point win where everyone plays 34+ mins.

Not sure what game you were watching, BWood was all over the place in the 2nd half. Def one of his better games of the season so far.

Why?

I missed the entire game so I can only go by the box score.

It looks like he was solid on the boards, blocks, and only had one turnover.

I'm pretty sure he posted that after missing some close baskets after getting rebounds in traffic and being heavily gurarded. It is clear that posters on this boards attach their emotions to whoever is the trendy scapegoat.

I like what you did here.

Haywood had a really solid 2nd half, and started showing off some offensive moves in garbage time. But he also started it off sloppy. There was an article by Fish where he talked about how historically Haywood has played better defense when he's gotten more shot attempts. And I think we need to try and get him engaged before this attitude problem festers.
