    Sooooo, I’m in the Amsterdam Airport and ran into this tall dude sporting Rockets gear.  I introduced myself and he said his name was Clint.  Man, he was as nice and gracious as he could be.  I told h

Worst performance of the season and believe me I have been to some of the shitty games (opening night, mlk pistons)

Now our offense gets more fucktarded with Alpi and FVV out.

Yeah, that was fucking awful.  Team seemed like it was just going through the motions.

At the beginning of this season no one said we'd be shit, but all agreed Wemby/Luka would be leading their teams to the playoffs.

You just never know.

I think Rox fans probably have most appreciation for Luka other than Mavs fans - to have watched Harden do all he did and get no love and then to watch Luka was like deja vu. If we had given away prime Harden for so little... I'd have been seeing red. I feel terrible for Mavs fans, that sucks all the joy out of it. Love AD and maybe they improve in short term with what he brings, but short term & long term outlook both bad on this deal. But you never know!

Well, things could be worse. Imagine being a Mavs fan right now. 

definitely a silver lining to last night's clusterfuck.  apparently the Rockets have the Mavs' 2029 first round pick as well.

Technically it could go to Brooklyn but we will get the best two of ours, Phoenix, and Dallas which I'm guessing Dallas will be the leader in the clubhouse

2029 first round draft pick from Dallas and / or Phoenix (two most favorable of these and Houston, Houston outgoing to Brooklyn)
Houston will receive the two most favorable of its 2029 1st round pick, Dallas' 2029 1st round pick and Phoenix's 2029 1st round pick and Brooklyn will receive the least favorable of the three (via Dallas and Phoenix to Brooklyn; via Dallas or Phoenix to Houston; via Houston's right to swap for Dallas or Phoenix) [Brooklyn-Dallas, 2/6/2023; Brooklyn-Indiana-Milwaukee-Phoenix, 2/9/2023; Brooklyn-Houston, 6/26/2024]

Holy shyte! I literally went to go look at the Mavwrecks future draft capital and my god this is what is due to go out the door...

2025 2nd round
2026 2nd round
2027 1st round
2027 2nd round
2028 1st round (swap)
2028 2nd round
2029 1st round
2029 2nd round
2030 1st round (swap)
2030 2nd round
2031 2nd round

So literally they have traded out their 2nd round pick for the next 7 seasons and have their next two first round picks but then the following 4 seasons they have traded away two 1st round picks and swap to worse of picks in the other two seasons.

On their incoming ledger they have a 2025 2nd rounder coming from best of Denver/Philly and yesterday's 2029 1st round pick from LAL

No wonder they are in win-now mode theoretically but they definitely should have been in rebuild draft capital mode instead.  I can easily see them being the worst team in the NBA 2027-2035 type of deal.

I wonder if we’re gonna make any moves. Any insiders that have heard any possibilities?

One of the supposed insider on clutchfans thinks we do, but codman thinks it's cute to speak using Higdonisms.

No Fred or Alpi....we may not score 80 with the way the offense will probably run

yeah i don't have a lot of faith that tonight is going to be super competitive.  hope i'm wrong.

Well if we are gonna shoot 60%+ we may score 150 lmao

Uh if they want to keep playing D like this that would be super

Not bad so far 

Early third, Brooks in defensive stance at the three point line. Offensive player runs full court, full speed into Brooks who has been stationary for 4 seconds. 
 

Foul. Blocking. 
 

Comeback starts. 
 

Just trash.

Please don’t freak out Stone. It’s a bad stretch with a lot of injuries, and they’re playing hard. They took the night off against the Nets. Shit happens. 

Well fun game, but sucks they gonna lose it

We need real backups at PG, SG, and C, it is not freaking out to see what is painfully obvious.

Yep.  He really needs to play tonight to end this losing streak.  Getting swept by Brooklyn is not an option.  

No Alpi & FVV, and Jalen had an off night. Great overall effort but Ime needs to get these guys more locked in on defense in the 4th quarter. No reason to panic right now. 

 

 

I like the spirit but it has to be FVV to make salaries work. 
 

This worked in the trade machine.   Don’t necessarily want to do it but it’s fun:

Rockets get: Lonzo Ball, Kevin Durant

Suns get: Brooks, Vucevic

Bulls get: Van Vleet 

Sprinkle picks to balance things out.   Voila!

 

Claxton running his mouth. Lets just fight

This is about how i expected last nights game to go.

We look like ass my dudes.

12 mins to get our shit together and stop the streak

Jeez man.  You had this shit won, and then you just throw up BS shots?

😡

Up 92-88 and we got Reed and Jalen jacking up retarded ass 3s during a fast break.

Come on man.

Smarter/bettee 4th q shot selection is something Ime needs to emphasize. Probably why we lost the last 2 games 

This team just loves to blow 4th Q leads. Wow. Went from 90% to win to 90% to lose in like 4 seconds 

Decision making in the last three minutes fell apart.
