GAME 38: DAL (22-16) @ HOU (10-27) | 111-106 win

Another game that will be tough for this year’s Mavs simply because it’s on the road. If they win, this will be the first 7 game win streak since 2011, I think.

Very glad THJ is making shots tonight.

Took out Wood. Rockets attacked DP immediately, resulting in 2 makes and a near-make.
RB was ball watching and apparently that's Wood's fault.
That's Kidd for you.

[ItsGoTime]

So far.

Rockets have figured out how to defend Luka-Powell pick and roll. Looks a lot like playoff Powell right now.

[Ghost of Podkolzin]

I really like Tari Eason.

Luka's passing is off tonight.  Defense is rough.  Rockets getting to the rim at will.  Wright passing up open looks.

[cow]

Wood's passing is on point tonight.

[dirkfansince1998]

Obligatory Eric Gordon cannot miss game.

[Razzmatazz_Hopskidillydoo]

The biggest upgrade this team needs is in the coaching staff.

[Ghost of Podkolzin]

Wow, they're targeting Wood.

[Kammrath]

Wow, they're targeting Wood.

They know two things:

1) He is foul prone.

2) The Mavs are toast without him.

[Kammrath]

I really like Tari Eason.

LOVED him in the predraft process.

[dirkfansince1998]

Among all the low effort games this season this one might take the cake.

[Ghost of Podkolzin]

LOVED him in the predraft process.

He'd be ideal in our starting lineup in a few years. Hell, I'd replace DFS with him now.

IMO, he's going to progress into Tobias Harris with mad defensive skills.

[SkenfromLMF]

Might should have challenged the 3rd Wood foul... 

The only comparable to the Mavs shooting is this ref crew.

In a ugly first half, not much to feel great about.  I was thinking this was going to be a tough game.  Houston was really low at the New Year’s Eve game and there was some negative comments by Gordon.  I thought they would come out and play hard.  Gordon was awful in our last game and I was expecting a bounce back.  

Dinwiddie needs to feel when we are struggling and be a factor.  0-6 is not what I had in mind.  

We desperately need Green back and healthy.  If Dinwiddie is off and Luka is not supernova, this team is really a slog to watch.

[dirkfansince1998]

Collectively mailing it in on defense. Just like against the Spurs. But today they don´t have the offense to bail them out.

[Chicagojk]

Might come back to haunt me, but Bullock isn’t good enough this year.  Not sure him shooting better makes him deserve a lot of minutes.  Just so limited.  Feels like things flow better when he is out.
