Nah, let's not look into the fact that Howard was injured the two games he played and shut it down not too long after the fourth game. The rotations in the first two games include players that aren't even on the team anymore and the last two were when Brewer/Smith were on the team less than a month.

What Golden State did in the regular season was great and should be commended. But, who did they play in the playoffs? A young and inexperienced Pelicans team? An injured Memphis team? If Conley and Allen were healthy, they may have taken that series. The Rockets have the length and athleticism to hang with GS, and the PFs to neutralize the biggest reason for their emergence (Draymond Green's improvement).

The Clippers were by far the worst matchup for the Rockets because of that athletic frontcourt. Warriors don't have that. Playoff Howard will feast on Bogut. Watch.

Rockets in 6.

"A peaceful and well-meaning" Houston fan posts to a thread with the rather inflammatory heading of "Houston can suck it." And, of course, he's the troll. Sorry if I got the idea that this is a partisans only club where Houston fans are not welcome. And, silly me, how could a Houston fan possibly have anything of interest to say to Mavs fans, who, as everybody knows, are far much more intelligent?

Lol way to only point out stuff that helps your argument while ignoring things like you had Dmo all 4 times and Pat Bev 3 of the 4 games. And no, people did not say the same thing about the Clippers because you actually beat the Clippers in the regular season. You're going to get destroyed by Golden State. I literally put money on it.

This is a Dallas Mavericks forum -- if you don't like the way we display our fandom for OUR team, then don't post here. I mean, it's not like you've contributed any sort of meaningful basketball conversation or debate yourself. All you've done is come into our home and tell us how to conduct ourselves. If you want to have meaningful conversations about the Rockets, then go to Clutchfans (where they absolutely never talk sh!t about other teams because they're the classiest sports fans on the internet).

Also, Houston can suck it.

Bev being out hurts, but DMo did not play well against GSW. Josh Smith and Terrence Jones match up better with the 4s for the Warriors. Plenty of people said that the Rockets would be wrecked by the Clipper, what are YOU talking about? It was all over this forum, mavs basketball forum, espn, etc. Why would you place a bet on Golden State with those odds? That is a pretty bad bet. You're not winning shit if they win. Vegas is loving the money being thrown at the Warriors, just like the Clippers last round.

Then why don't you start the "Houston Rockets peace, love, and joy" thread. If you know in advance of the thread's name, then I'm not sure why you'd be surprised by the posts in it.

He also failed to mention that Terrance Jones didn't play in any of those games and Cory Brewer and Josh smith also weren't there for the 1st 2 games. The Rockets had Tarik Black, Kostas Papanikalou and Joey Dorsey getting key minutes in the 1st 2 games. Bottom line Golden St. is going to see a much different team than what they saw in the regular season. I am excited to see how we match up.

People did say the same the thing about the Clippers and that the Rockets were much inferior to the Clippers and were 2nd tier as compared to the Dubs, spurs, Clipps..... One reason was that the Clipps had the rockets number prior to the first win in game 3 of the regular season. The Clipps had won 11 of 12 against the Rockets. So yeah they had reason to say the Clippers would destroy them.

All in all even if the Rockets do get destroyed in this round it has been fun to watch them grow as a team and to go through the process of becoming great. As with the previous 2 series we could really use Bev and Dmo but hey we ride with who we got....

This is a Dallas Mavericks forum. Opposing fans can register and post, but if they choose to do so, people will question their motivations. That's particularly true where the opposing fan roots for a team that just eliminated the Mavs less than a month ago.

The Rockets fans posting on this board right now are motivated by one thing: puffing their chests. That is not an admirable trait. It's even less admirable when done in a passive-aggressive way, as here.

So, to respond to your post more directly: it's not that Houston fans "aren't welcome." It's that their reasons for being here speak poorly of them as people. They're being treated accordingly.

I know this Houston fan started posting well before I had anything to puff my chest about so I am not motivated by that and really have only posted to threads related to the Rockets and probably wouldn't have even posted in this one if it had died on 4/23 like it should have. But for some reason it was bumped 17 days later on May 10 to trash on Houston because they were down 3-1. Not sure that is an admirable trait. But they were wrong and Houston showed heart.

Like I said before if folks just stop talking about Houston I am pretty sure the thread will die and the Trolls wont have anything to talk about.

I actually like hearing another point of view on the players on my team especially when there is substance to the argument. My time has really given me a different view on my man Harden and so far I can't argue the point that if he doesn't get to the free throw line he really is terrible. His shooting percentage is terrible as well and he hasn't really stepped up to 2nd place finish in MVP in either series yet. His team has bailed him out and I guess I wouldn't have really seen this without discussions with certain users on this site. Of course I am still pulling for him to turn it around in this series

If Curry goes off on houston.. I'd kinda laugh

Rockets will win a game at best. Terry and Prigioni just wont cut it against Curry.

j0Shi · 05-20-2015, 01:25 PM

Give credit where credit is due. The Clippers lost the series more than the Rockets won it, but digging out of a 1-3 hole does deserve some respect.

I still don't like the homeless floppers though. So glad Curry got the MVP, because Harden is not even a superstar.

vmac · 05-20-2015, 06:47 PM

Guerillablack is a fraud. Lurks around here and clutchfans and posts other people's thoughts and pictures all over the spurs forum. At least give credit instead of blatantly stealing ideas and pictures.

markus1234 · 05-20-2015, 07:45 PM

Mavs are the worst since 2011. I think we had 10 different PG since then or something like that.

I hope HOU trolls will make fun of us till at least November. Cuban (and his delusional sunshine pumping groupies) deserves exactly that and much more.

I was gonna get mad at your comment, but then I remembered you're a knee-jerking, gloom-and-doom reactionary who's never short on negative hyperbole when it comes to the Mavs... It was easy to forget because you haven't posted much lately (so thanks for that, I guess...)

We will get more than one game and tell me who does cut it against Curry? Curry is a bad man......

EricaLubarsky · 05-20-2015, 10:07 PM

No one can stop Curry.

Only teams who could slow him to sub-.410 were
ATL (Teague)
CHI (Rose)
CLE (Irving)
DET
SAC

Then again, if you slow Curry, Thompson kills you.

ATL 55.0%/ 50.0% from three
CHI 44.0%/ 33.3% from three
CLE 43.3%/ 46.7% from three
DET 53.3%/ 62.5% from three
SAC 53.7%/ 53.1% from three

Only Chicago was able to slow both.

Love is just awful. Perfect example of a guy who is numbers without success. Cavs are better without him just like the Wolves were pretty mediocre WITH him. He just doesn't play well with others and clashes with other stars. He has the game of an amazing role player, but the ego of a superstar. Love deserves Kobe this offseason.

Dirk and Rick think Houston fans should troll this site so that Mavs fans feel bad for getting behind their team? Because that's exactly what you're saying... And it might be the most retarded thing I've ever read on this site (which is saying a lot, considering that D-M doesn't exactly have a shortage of retarded utterances).

Oh, so Dirk and Rick think Houston fans should troll *THE INTERNET* so that Mavs fans feel bad for getting behind their team??? Yep, still the most retarded thing I've ever read on this site...

Do you think Rick wanted Rondo ?

Do you think Rick liked the "This is not a good team over there" statement right before the playoffs started ?

Do you think the last 4 yrs (and esp. this season, when Dirk took the pay cut) is what Dirk expected ?

Was Cuban really the smartest guy in the house when it comes to the new CBA ? He definitely acted like that.

Read some interviews, "between the lines" and you will know what Dirk and Rick think about the last 4 seasons.

Totally agree and my sentiments are about the same for Ellis although I don't consider him awful...just not a catalyst for a championship caliber team.
Good 2nd or 3rd option but not the main goto guy.

Here's some "reading between the lines" for you: why would Dirk take a pay cut in the first place if he didn't have 100% faith in Cuban and that Mavs organization? It's really hard to win in this league, especially in the West... Dirk knows that... Rick knows that... Stop trying to project your petulant worldview on people who have a much broader understanding of how the real world operates.

Look, I get that you're upset about not winning a ring every year like this is some kind of a video game, but that's no reason to lash out at Mavs fans for being optimistic. If you don't like people rooting for their team to succeed, then maybe you should stay the hell off of Dallas Mavericks forums.

DevinHarriswillstart · 05-21-2015, 10:29 AM

Well I don't know how anyone could blame Cuban for this season. Other seasons between 2011 and now...fine. But he did everything in his power to put a competitive team on the floor THIS SEASON. Rondo/Ellis/Parsons/Dirk/Chandler with Harris/Stoudemire/CV/RJ/Aminu off the bench is hardly something to be pissed about.

And Rick/Dirk/Cuban didn't quit on the team like Rondo did. Rondo made it easy to be the scapegoat.

This was my main gripe and the seasons that followed. This past season though, they worked their ass off to get a good group of players. It just didnt pan out(Rondo). (Ultimately, Monta cant take a team to the promise land too)

Dirk even came out and said that he couldn't blame Rick.

But who cares what McMahon, BG, Rick, or even Dirk say. Markus is smarter.

Underdog · 05-21-2015, 10:56 AM

I don't take issue with markus1234's opinions of the post-2011 Mavericks so much as I do with his statement that Mavs fans deserve to be trolled by Rockets fans because we stuck behind our team... That's akin to saying "I don't like the way Obama runs this country, so I hope terrorists nuke an American city off the face of the planet to teach everyone a lesson" (to use an extreme metaphor that even the dullest mind can grasp...)
