Nurkic is back, he was much needed in the last two games.

For the Rockets Dillon Brooks is questionable with a right abdominal oblique strain.

Interesting matchup. Jalen Green is struggling and he didn't play during the 4th quarter in the last couple of games.

Dillon Brooks is gonna feast this gane if he plays. On offense and especially defense.

He’s a dog. And big dogs eat little dogs. Devin Booker is a little dog and Brooks will devour him.

I was done with Booker when he couldnt even get by Doncic.
Booker has no moves no handles. Without DA to set him picks and be his scapegoat he’s looking like pure trash.

Their centers Sengun and Jock Landale are going to hurt us a lot.

Their centers are nothing special. Nurkic top 5 center in nba.

"He was like my big brother. One of the few people, maybe the only one to know me since I was born. Talked to him pretty much every day. Three times a day."

What a relief. Now their big dog cannot eat our little dog.

Glad Nurkic is back. Eubanks has been so awful. Hopefully Eubanks is in the dog house and we have Metu and Azubuike play more.

If Kevin young was a good coach he would be studying Dirk and the Mavs and putting KD in those positions. Ball should run through KD every possession

Vogel needs to shorten the rotation.
1. Goodwin should be barely getting time. 12 minutes a game max. He should be having DNP-CD most nights.
2. Never play KBD, Bol, Yuta
3. Booker should be leading the league in mpg
4. Start Little at the 3 and Allen at the 2.
5. Bring Okogie off the bench as the 4 and move KD to the 5 for a few minutes.
6. Shorten the leash on Eubanks
7. Bench guys to play should just be Gordon, Okogie and Eubanks with a sprinkle of Metu if needed.

Wondering how Landale will do against us. Since he's a high energy dude, I'm sure he'll outpace Eubanks.

That was clean defense. No foul on that play but Smith is at the stripe.
