The Rockets beat the Bucks and the Suns recently, but now are on a 4 game losing streak.

They beat the Mavs already, so who knows

It’s a game where we are expected to win, so that means we lose

3 of the next 6 games are against the Rockets. Would be nice to snag all 3. That’s some strange scheduling by the NBA.

You never know if DAL can win or not, because you dont know if their 3 ball is falling or not. Facing a young team like HOU, who is very bad defensively, if you do make some offensive plan, be more aggressive, you normally can score a lot of points, and win comfortably. But DAL can only do Luka/Dinwiddie/Wood 1 on 1, and then everyone shooting 3, the end results become lot more unpredictable.

This is a make or break stretch and Kidd, Nico and Mark should talk to the team and explain it, a good stretch will put the team 5-6 games above .5 and they can build on it (like last year), a bad stretch will seal the team as .5 team and barely play in team.

MAxi
Green
DFS
Kemba
Hardy

All out

Frank Questionable
Pinson + McGee aren't in rotation

that leaves 8 rotation players tonight, wonder why Dorsey and MWIV aren't recalled.

There is a chance that injuries and poor FO management could completely derail this season way before all star break. I hope Mavs can somehow survive this.

Adam Wexler: 5 players OUT for Mavs at #Rockets tonight: Dorian Finney-Smith (right adductor strain), Josh Green (right elbow sprain), Jaden Hardy (back contusion) , Maxi Kleber (right hamstring tear), Kemba Walker (left knee, injury recovery)

Because we have Frank!

As long as Houston isn’t benching/missing 2-3 starters then I like our chances

I saw Dorsey and Wright in the layup line. Maybe one of them gets a few mins tonight.

Man Harp really loves Frank.

The Rockets are the most athletic team in the league, but they foul like crazy.

Nice Wood block.

Wright has been very active and disruptive.

Death, taxes, and Bertans sucks. You can't escape any of them

Again very good defense in the paint by Wood!

Is it a coincidence that all of a sudden he's had some defensive plays right around the time he's eligible for an extension?

Might also be a coincidence that they have only started him around the time he's eligible for an extension.
