Had to create this thread just to say how much I hate that the two big lineup and point Flagg are back.
Hate it.

Another slow start.

Flagg back at PG LMAO. I miss Kyrie Irving so much.

I´d say sit AD, cause he´s either hurt or intentionally tanking his trade value. Then on the bright side he´s the best tank commander currently.

This lineup is so bad I think the tank might be on.

Kyrie can´t handle major minutes as the primary ballhandler either, especially coming off an ACL injury. They are better off sitting him till March.

And Flagg has his 2nd personal foul already...5 mins in.

I just want to see some functional basketball.
But yes for the tank and his health, it's best to tell him to take his time.

Isn’t that our best shot to lose games when Davis is healthy - and develop skills Flagg can use in the next 15 years, Giannis-like?

These Houston bastards are giving us two wins, because Sengun missed both games and they sh*t without him.

I know it works out sometimes, because he's pretty nifty inside, but my soul is slowly dying as I watch Naji Marshal pump fake from above the break and drive right towards a defender who is literally standing in the paint still because he never had any intention of worrying about Marshall shooting in the first place. Like...just SHOOT.

"Point" Cooper where he just dribbles on the perimeter a bit then passes it off never ceases to be annoying
No picks? No drives?
RE: Game 36: HOU (21-10) @ DAL (12-23) - RoyTarpleysGhost - 01-03-2026
Holy crap. We're winning and AD is dominating. Get Atlanta on the phone right now.
RE: Game 36: HOU (21-10) @ DAL (12-23) - Jakeospikez - 01-03-2026
Hope this ends up in a close loss somehow but if it's a win, easy Max Christie dirkie. didn't know he had all this in him. efficient scoring, posters and quick handles. I don't want to overreact but he just might be the goat.
RE: Game 36: HOU (21-10) @ DAL (12-23) - KillerLeft - 01-03-2026
AD is a great player, if only he could find a way to stay healthy enough to maintain this level of play. I don't even think he's at his peak yet in terms of rehab. I'm not sure we've even seen his best since he has been here.

He's crazy. Sometimes I think he's as forgettable and passive as Josh Green, and then there are times when I think he's going to be the starting off guard here for the next seven years. I don't think I've ever seen him look as athletic as he has tonight.

It's fun watching the Mavs play the Rockets without Sengun.

Grimes who?

They are really very similar players. Grimes with more volume and Maxi with more efficiency (although his current rate is not sustainable). They are both ok defenders but neither is a high level POA defender. I think Grimes is the better player right now, but Max is 3 years younger and has more growth potential. Max also seems to like it here and may be more reasonable about his next contract than Grimes seems to be.
