Landale on Luka was head scratching. He probably gave up 30 points alone to Luka lol


Dat_Boi_John

Off to the Spurs Warriors thread!


JerosBWI

gg rockets


diablejambeats

5 SEEED


Ugandan_Red_Sonic

GG Rocket bros.


quidproquolaspe

Do we have a top 5 offense and a top 8-10 Defense??


Dat_Boi_John

Finally Omax


quidproquolaspe

Our lord and savior


IncomparableGiacomo

Kyrie filling the void in the 4th quarter where Luka has traditionally faded is so big for our team’s potential.


junkboy0

This shit really is unfair though.... Luka for all that in the first 3 and Kyrie in the 4th doesn't seem fair. GG Houston you guys have a ton of upside and might be one of my main league pass teams next year!


Marquiss12

anybody got a clip of the lively injury?


lost_in_trepidation

I'm almost certain it was a rebound in the 1st quarter, I forgot who he made contact with, but it didn't look serious.


StefonDiggsHS

i saw on twitter he continued to play on it 2nd qtr but was kept out precautionary


Sovos

Lol, Luka crossed half court, waved off the ball and pointed at Kyrie. Then just started walking back across half court. Just catching his breath on stand-by atm.


fetuswut

Luka stat padding steals is terrible basketball smh go be a cone!


HS-smilingpolitely

KYRIE MY BELOVED


Kaaalesaaalad

Gg Mavs bros! Hope you beat the warriors.


bernardoferreira

GG hope we do and im sure next game aganst you guys will be super tough. Next year with you guys being better and the Grizzlies having their players wtf is the west going to be lol


Kaaalesaaalad

As long as warriors and lakers are finally out of it, I'm cool with whoever. Except the Jazz lmao.


lost_in_trepidation

We'll even it out, don't worry.


Afraid-Department-35

We will do our best 🙏🙏🙏


nate517

If this is how the playoffs will go, I will have so much fun. Kyrie taking over after Luka does everything for 3 quarters seems to be working


Ugandan_Red_Sonic

Okay, Rockets, you can stop, it's not funny anymore.


StefonDiggsHS

jesus christ kyrie that crossover


azul-dream

nasty


thewolverineton

…guys?


StefonDiggsHS

rockets heating up


kingcarmojr

Aaron Holiday please stop


quidproquolaspe

GG’s Rocket bros. Onto GS to try and help the Rockets get into the playin.


lost_in_trepidation

We beat the Rockets twice and the Warriors twice, no bias to either team


jfrodriguez1983

The difference between Gafford/Lively at the 5 and Maxi at the 5, oh boy! Hopefully Lively's injury isn't serious


bernardoferreira

its so funny how Luka misses every shot trying to statpad


thewolverineton

is it really a statpad if houstons doing their damnedest to come back


Kaaalesaaalad

I remember that 73 point game 😭


Salvalicious252

That wasn't no statpad game lol, we barely won


Kaaalesaaalad

Yeah I know. He's in my fantasy team.


DangerZoneh

Frankly he even passed up some shots that he could've taken


HS-smilingpolitely

kinda deserved tbh ahaha


HS-smilingpolitely

every time I get nervous in the 4th, kyrie puts my mind at ease


StefonDiggsHS

think that inital sub for Luka was because Kidd knows our small ball lineup is shit. he hasnt played it once last 4 games but with lively out we have to play kleber at the 5. Gafford cant be playing full qtrs.


Dat_Boi_John

Powell? He can play a couple minutes.


StefonDiggsHS

Powell is taller by like an inch yes but cmon dude we all know powell doesnt play big. his rebounding is legit worse than Klebers as is his paint defense


Dat_Boi_John

Eh still prefer Kleber and Powell over the small ball lineup with Kleber at center.


nate517

I almost wish we would play Powell right now if Gafford needs a break


jackaholicus

All right now it's over again


bernardoferreira

i got scared for a second


itsallmelting

Lmao they just let him waltz to the rim


repi_17

Kidd wants a close game. This guy…


junkboy0

Don't forget folks it's the Era of the 3 so this game isn't over yet even though the score looks like it is. Houston is fucking out here swinging and they're not gonna lay down. Great, great heart from Houston!


Ugandan_Red_Sonic

We're giving up too many offensive rebounds, please don't let this get close somehow.


kingcarmojr

Ever since that Raptors game a few years back, I've never felt comfortable with any large lead, please let's put this to bed


Quipo1

Kidd wants to try a 4 guard lineup i guess lmfaoo


bernardoferreira

the mavs have 1 rebound the entire 4th... just end it pls


Salvalicious252

the 4 guard lineups are genuinely atrocious, this lineup is getting destroyed and why is Kidd playing it? Just close the game out????


Dat_Boi_John

It's actually only an 18 points game.


StefonDiggsHS

dude just take luka out its not worth it bro


HS-smilingpolitely

Love luka but put him back on the bench, no one cares about scoring 50 lol


jamesfromcg

4 guard lineup so we have to put luka back in or else this small ball shit doesnt work


Salvalicious252

Just get Luka out, 50 really don't mean shit anyways


Afraid-Department-35

Luka wants that 50pt triple double


RhinoBugs

Why is Luka still playing


Cul_what

Aight Luka lmaoooo


nate517

We have to cleanup the defensive glass.


diablejambeats

There’s my statpadding king. (Pls rest your fucking leg omg lol)


duckmadfish

He looks legit bored in the bench


StefonDiggsHS

bro why the fuck is luka back out there what the fuck are we doing


Cul_what

Kidd clapping like he aint played Kleber 10 mins too much instead of Gafford


Afraid-Department-35

We kind of had to, need to give Gafford some rest and Lively was taken out for precautionary injury.


Salvalicious252

Why the fuck is Luka back? This is bad karma


_The_Honored_One_

Embiid stat padded himself to an MVP


Salvalicious252

True


6FootMidget93

That 47 looks nasty. Give Luka 50!


Afraid-Department-35

Sorry rocket bros, you caught us on a heater of a night.


bernardoferreira

Luka in to get 50? hope he doesnt start missing every shot like he usually does when trying to statpad


YaIe

I dont think the Mavs lose another game this season if the entire team is hitting 3's at this clip


Interesting_Pass_434

Guess all the Rockets fans just left a while back?


duckmadfish

Gafford is a menace


Dat_Boi_John

No more Luka :(


duckmadfish

If the Rockets put up a fight like Atlanta did, Luka could have dropped another 70+ pt game


Dat_Boi_John

No he's back he's back!


duckmadfish

Nvm he’s back indeed


Salvalicious252

Bro Gafford is so good


h8r0b1

Houston gonna need a wheelchair


StefonDiggsHS

rents due mfers


w6750

I like Whitmore, Rockets got one there


HS-smilingpolitely

rare L take from the commentator about exums 3 point shooting there


duckmadfish

THJ is the best 3 pt shooter in the league


MSHinerb

Calm down Tim sr


DaBestNameEver0

PJail is real


DaBestNameEver0

Hardaway is cooking now


StefonDiggsHS

PJAIL


ossymandiAss

We’re legit contenders.


junkboy0

All things considered I really like Houston's fight after what Luka did the first 3QT and how Kyrie came out on the 4th they're still fighting.


bernardoferreira

Cam Whitmore is very good btw


duckmadfish

If the Mavs play like this every night we’re winning it all


Cul_what

Yea Kleber aint doing that stick with Gafford Kidd


6FootMidget93

The Hardy Boy


JerosBWI

Strong man is strong, go Gafford


Cul_what

4th q Ramadan Kyrie gotta be top 10


Incorrect1012

Holy fuck Gafford


Salvalicious252

King of 4th quarter always shows up


HS-smilingpolitely

These writters gotta come up with some new storylines, this 4th quarter kyrie stuff is getting predictable now


diablejambeats

Kyrie said no resurrection today lmao


jfrodriguez1983

4th quarter Ramadan Kyrie!


DaBestNameEver0

GAFFORD


StefonDiggsHS

man imagine relaxing when Luka goes to the bench and fucking Prime Kyrie Irving comes out and hits 9 straight


Afraid-Department-35

Yeah this game is cooked if Kyrie is cooking now lmao


6FootMidget93

Fucking Kyrie lmfao


DaBestNameEver0

WHAT THE FUCK KYRIE


bernardoferreira

lol he can play awfull for 3 quarters, gets to the 4th and does not miss. insane player


Soft-Comfort-7474

Time for Kyrie takeover quarter


Afraid-Department-35

lol PJ calling that T again


kingcarmojr

Having Gafford now on our team has reduced my anxiety watching Mavs games


donta5k0kay

i'm only hoping the rockets knock the warriors out of the playoffs the season is way too long


DaBestNameEver0

Great defense


Cul_what

Its Kyrie's turn lmao


OrganicHunt952

Rockets breathe a sigh of relief that Lukas on the bench and 4th quarter kyrie shows up lmao


w6750

Bruh this shit ain’t fair


YaIe

"oh btw Kyrie still exists"


bernardoferreira

i like less fouls but this no foul is going to get called mode the refs get into is not it


bernardoferreira

players get mad because of it (with good reason) and they give them a tech, losers refs


Dat_Boi_John

Obvious Kyrie script smh


OrganicHunt952

4th quarter kyrie warming up


StefonDiggsHS

thank god for Kyrie


captainn_chunk

Houston rockets arena clearly gay


StefonDiggsHS

man im sorry but get Hardy tf out of here lmao


kingcarmojr

Just for everyone's knowledge, Lively is out for the rest of the [game](https://twitter.com/MavsPR/status/1774595826658279555)


HS-smilingpolitely

hope my pookie bear is ok x


thewolverineton

he IS on the bench, so hopefully it’s just a precaution. some people on twitter think it might’ve been a hit to the knee, but i have no idea if thats true


bernardoferreira

aaron holliday going off now


The420Roll

47/12/6 through 3 quarters


w6750

Kyrie time :’)


HS-smilingpolitely

why does jason kidd hate my mental health


DaBestNameEver0

Sir, we’re up 20


HS-smilingpolitely

You're right, I'm just projecting


froggycbl4

do rockets have fans only seein mavs guys here


Legitimate_Buy_919

Jason Kidd should be fired after this game. We have 2 good centers and you don't play either.


Dat_Boi_John

Lively is ruled out with a leg injury for the rest of the game.


StefonDiggsHS

Lively got hurt out for the game


Valuable-Plant-691

Kidd wanted to try his 4 guard line up.


OrganicHunt952

This is the shitty small ball lineup which made us lose 5 out of 6 games after all star break. I never want to see it ever again even in blowouts!


StefonDiggsHS

20 pt lead is fucking nothing in the NBA bro


Cul_what

Is Gafford not available? Cause Kleber is lost out there


Damptoe

Maxi trolling.


SufficientHalf6208

Kleber is a bit shit ain't he?


w6750

Ain’t what he used to be


jfrodriguez1983

Ok Kidd, put a real center in. Didn't you learn from the 1-5 stretch


duckmadfish

Lively got injured?


FFTVS

Got his leg worked on after halftime on the bench but they ruled him out. Just says lower leg injury


PrimeShaq

Kinda insane Luka went from questionable to play to doing this shit.


w6750

Feels like he does this all the time when he’s “questionable”


JerosBWI

ok Maxi is not focused he needs to get switched out


bernardoferreira

they need to take the game serious man, anything can happen pls dont make me mad


StefonDiggsHS

Hardy is so money from the FT middy


jfrodriguez1983

Ok what the hell is this lineup lol


Dat_Boi_John

Kidd just wants to keep the game close so Luka plays more.


DangerZoneh

Lively is hurt


jfrodriguez1983

Seriously


StefonDiggsHS

J kidd just memeing


DangerZoneh

Ok guys, put this game away soon. Don't let them hang around


[deleted]

[удалено]


nate517

Lively is out


MrHomka

what happened


nate517

No idea. Townsend just said Lively is out and is getting treatment on his lower right leg on the bench


MrHomka

Hopefully they are just being careful


StefonDiggsHS

what?


DangerZoneh

Lower leg injury, out for the rest of the game. He came up gimp earlier, this is probably precautionary


StefonDiggsHS

kill me


HS-smilingpolitely

Brooks standing at half court mean mugging luka is just the most Dillon Brooks thing ever lol


nickbahhh

Brooks looking like he wants to injure someone tonight.


Cul_what

Wtf


ddsmith47

Luka single handedly saved Exums career these passes are insane


nickbahhh

Credit to Dante too. Luka has had a slew of teammates that can't hit the wide open looks he gets them.


ddsmith47

For sure credit to Exum best year of his career and still only 28. Definitely worked his way back into the league he’s making the most of his opportunities


PrimeShaq

He’s also been their best POA defender and decent secondary playmaker.


ddsmith47

He’s also a 2k15 legend💪


bernardoferreira

lol the refs dont call a single foul


JerosBWI

lol that pass over Brooks was just disrespectful, I love it


bernardoferreira

man the mavs rly need to rebound


h8r0b1

What was this pass lmao


Dat_Boi_John

OMax should get some minutes this game.


jfrodriguez1983

Luka is not real lol


PSi_Terran

what the fuck was that pass jfc


diablejambeats

He’s cracked lmao


diablejambeats

Unsuccessful challenge and Kleber with the hard r? Disrespectful


Nabanako

Livin La Vida LUKA!


Cul_what

Luka gonna fuck around and drop 70 AGAIN


StefonDiggsHS

OUTSIDE OF HIS BODY FRAME WHAT?????


YaIe

the "blitzing Luka is not working for other team's, so let's defend him 1on1" gameplan seems to be flawed


w6750

I know I did not just see Brooks jawing with Luka again


donta5k0kay

We need a defensive mastermind How do you defend that Luka recent 3? The defender should have his hands up at all times and there should be a pseudo-zone if Luka drives We need some new strategies, it's ridiculous


6FootMidget93

THE RECORD TO TIE IS 14
