    I heard Love got benched today, too. Those might be the guys are on our team next year...:)

    Love picked up his 5th foul. So he was benched for the final 5 minutes of the game. No biggie.

    Gotcha. I was just being facetious; actually, I'm more willing to take on Love this summer than Rondo, FWIW

    Lol. No foul call on Dirk.

    Josh Smith has been destroying the Mavs.

    Alley oop after alley oop after alley oop. Josh Smith is just picking apart this Mavs team.

    Mavs have no chance in this series. Second round should be more fun.

    Mavs play no defense. How's Rondo looking?

    After getting a technical and then fouling Harden on a 3, Rondo got benched. That was only 30 seconds into the second half. He hasn't returned since.

    He's been really bad this game unlike the previous game where I thought he actually did okay.

    I swear that the Mavs have given up at least 15 dunks this quarter. No defense at all.

    Edit: Lol. Tyson's shaking his head. He has had almost no help on defense.

    Can someone please tell me what the hell is going on with Rondo? Makes no sense for him to pick up T's vs Harden. Not playing good anyways.

    Mavs D reminds me of the Jazz one we used to toy with between 08-10 ... no resistance whatsoever .

    Dirk couldn't guard me right now :rofl:

    Mavs look like they are getting overwhelmed and honestly, I don't see how they can come back and win this series.

    Side note: Harden with 24 points on 5 made FGs..... ridiculous.

    ^^^^^ Harden 's FG% in the playoffs with Houston :

    13 : 39%
    14 : 37.6%
    15 : so far 9 for 28 , less than 33%

    I hate the Rockets but man, they are making the Mavs look old and tired. Houston will finish this one off in 5 or 6 I think.

    the mavs couldn't afford the injuries to parsons, harris, and ellis (who i think is still playing hurt). they have to outscore people, and without parsons especially, that's impossible.

    and yes, harden continues to be a fraud.

    Yeah, who would you choose? One of the best coaches in the game or Rondo? Easy decision. He'll be gone. Bargain or not, stay away.

    Cuban made a comment that he wishes the Lakers would suck forever... To see him near his team's bench beaten and deflated. 'Effin priceless! Happy to see their behinds handed to them.

    Rondo ruled out for the rest of the playoffs with "a back injury".
