Everyone thought that would've been a great game. Now Mavs' fans totally disagree.
Mavs comes in this game from a 9W streak but early in the first quarter they knew that today their streak would be interrupted.
Houston take an easy 20 point lead in first half and never left that. Chandler were charged by 2 fouls and leave the game giving space to Stat who suffered a lot DH12. Howard played his best game in the season with 29 points but all the frontcourt dominated enemy paint.
Harden weren't top scorer of the game as usual but with 33 points per game he's continues fighting for scoring champ. Clearly, first achievement is the reach of western conference first place. We're just 2 games back but Blazers wouldn't stop. I think the struggle will continue till all 82 games!
But we can't win a home game versus Knicks in the last possession! I can't see a guy like Cole Aldrich ending the game with perfect shooting! Dwight, where were you when Cole made pranks of you?? Kobe was right when he said that you were soft? This cannot be a team of soft men because soft men go nowhere!
No words can describe him. In a close, fighted, hard game he plays at the highest level giving the team another precious victory. Clippers are failing in this season but this match represents their re-birth attempt: failed again thanks to James!
Back-to-back strikes again and Bucks ends Rockets' streak
Sincerely, i expected a defeat in this game. But not like this.
Bucks trailed us for three quarters, then we finished the fuel stopping marking points and defending. And Dwight Howard has the guilt. Too soft again in defense, two inaccurate in offense. We expect he's the second star of the team, but he isn't proving it so far.
Yes, we get owned at home. And i'm furious because we played a HORRIBLE game. We know they're our beast but this is a true humiliation. Gasol dominated Howard (again...), Tony Allen neutralized Harden and Z-bo erased Gasol. Fans were booing and they're right: if we play games like this, we'll never win the championship.
He's a hero. But we're in trouble. Seriously.
In first quarter James, jumping on a rebound, falls badly and injures himself. Exams reported a serious ankle sprain and will be hurt for 10 weeks. IT'S A LOT OF TIME! But i say he's a hero because in the pain he decided to re-join the game dropping 41 points, giving us the win after a 2-game losing streak.
Now i must take a decision.
Harden need rest, but he said me he want to play in most hard games. So, until the end of the injury, i will decide day-to-day if J. get out in the game. I want to preserve his health, but we need a good playoff spot (at least division championship) if we want to fight for the finals. And 10 weeks without him...uh...
James tell us to play in back-to-back game against Suns, but it wasn't a good idea...
Pain forced him to play way from the paint: he shooted 17 three-pointers banging only 3, taking himself the guilt of the defeat after game. If ankle sprain limits him a lot, is better to take him on rest...
