Jiggy, no big deal since we didn't have championship aspirations.

Besides, you'll be sitting on the couch next to us after the Spurs do away with you.

Rockets are among the league worst in turnovers and free throw shooting, and you're nit beating the Spurs or any other elite team in the playoffs with that combination of flaws.

Monta has been awesome, but we need a true star player.

We need to put the full court press on LaMarcus Aldridge.
There's been some reports lately that the Spurs are also near the top of his list.

Portland is no. 1 then Dallas/San Antonio.

I would like to say Houston should get him but Houston does poorly in free agency.

:lol

So now Dallas does not have championship aspirations, whatever dude.

Yes this is a very flawed team add in the injuries and we should not have a chance but this team has had these flaws all year and they still ended up with the 3rd best record in the NBA.

I see it like this we can beat anybody but we can also be swept in any series, we are after all relying on two 37-year-old pg's. :lol

So D Howard did nothing for you or getting Josh Smith this year when he was a free agent?

Actually don't think Aldridge is a great fit, not a good defensive guy and that's too many guys needing touches between him Howard and Harden.

Plus you would have to gut the roster, bring back Brewer and Smith and upgrade the pg and we are perennial contenders.

Forgot about Howard and wasn't that a trade? Maybe I'm not remembering that so well or confusing it with the time when they tried to trade for Paul or Gasol???

Anyways I said free agency as well so Smith doesn't count since it was in season signing.

Pretty much just remembering the Bosh and Gasol attempts.

I win the internet.

I dont think we have a snowballs chance in hell against the Warriors. Think they have owned us all season?

That is true and I agree but we did not have Howard most of those games and this team is peaking at the moment.

I am just happy to be out of the 1st round with all the injuries we are dealing with.

Assholes. He had a clash with a coach and was benched. No reason to take his money away.

It's true.

I never had any illusions that they'd be making a run, so losing is not that big of a deal.

The Mavs have a long way to go before they can be considered a serious contender again.

I only saw him in the game a couple times. One of which was the screwup that got him crosswise with the HC.

Now it's being reported that they mutually parted ways after game 2. Just like everyone thought. No one believed that back injury BS.

They fired the guy who sent this tweet.

The outrage police have gone overboard.:picard
Yeah, that's a dumb firing. I can see them pulling his aside and telling him in the future to be more aware, but to fire him is stupid.

My father-in-law (and boss) is a Spurs fan. I want to beat them so bad.

As an aside, I don't know to handle being on the same side as you.

Some knob who hangs out in the Mavs locker room tweeted that some players were openly upset when they found out about that tweet.

Dominated in the playoffs by a "not very good" team, and concerned about emojis. Priorities.

LOL. Its strange that I was a Rocket fan growing up since I grew up close to Dallas. I think it was the Cougars run with Olajuwon and Drexler that started my attention down there. Then the Rockets drafted Olajuwon and Ive been a fan since.
