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

So having our best player out 20ppg/9rpg, and having our highest impact players off the bench in Tari and Cam out didn't matter?

 

Luka didn't even gave us a chance to have a close one......he came out guns blazing really early...........lol

 

Test failed.

 

Y'all know the script on a rebuild, right? First season before making the playoffs you are at .500 and barely miss the playoffs. This gives the fans excitement for next season. I hope we make it in, but the script is the script.

 

a potential lakers warriros play in tournament is the ideal scenario. that would bring in wayy more money than a rockets/lakers. However this streak did definitely put more eyes on us now, but still nothing would beat the GS LA matchup.

 

I'm happy at Jabari 's performance. 28 points with 5-6 three point shooting is just great.

 

How to win when your teammates all shoot like crap?

 

Any chance we can get him?

 

It was a great winning streak. All good things must come to and end. Jalen had a great streak and this will be a huge boon to the entire team's confidence moving forward. The entire team should be proud. There are still meaningful games to play but don't bet any real money we're gonna beat out Steph Curry and the boogieman Warriors team this year. That happens next year.

 

Rockets doesn't double Luka, because of fear of his passing.

Mavs double teams Jalen, and Rockets can't take advantage of the 4 on 3.

 

It was a generationally easy schedule. Back to reality.

 

Just need Turkish catering to get us bbq skewers and kebab meat.

Our star chef.

 

Instead of the usual just keep swimming gif



Time to start a new streak!

 

Luka hit us with the "put these foolish ambitions to rest"

 

His game won't translate to today's NBA. He is a huge plodding guy like Boban.

 

not sure why our gameplan was letting Jock Landale get cooked by Luka on the perimeter but it certainly didn't work out. The moment we started forcing the ball out of Luka's hands was the moment we were competitive.

It's really aggravating that we didn't get any help from the Heat / Orlando.... but maybe the Mavs can handle the Warriors for us and we get some luck in Minnesota.

 

If a random fan sees Luka's highlights tonight they are going to ask why this 7ft slow footed center is iso guarding Luka on almost half his makes
