The official 2015-2016 Dallas Mavericks season watch thread

Back and forth battle.

Houston deserves to lose this game. If it wasn't for their pick, I'd hope they'd not make the playoffs and Dwight leaves in the summer. Just horrible, horrible basketball to watch.

Houston is the easiest team in the league to root against IMO

Stripped by Dirk lol

Bad team the rockets

Of course the refs swallow their whistle there  Terry gets raped by Matthews and nothing.

But, yeah, Houston sucks. Should've never been that close, but all they want to do is Harden iso over and over again. I don't see how Dallas falls out of the playoffs now.

If Houston wins out they'll beat Dallas by one game IMO

That really sucks.

I think Dallas is guaranteed to get in now. Bummer. Screw you Houston!

TP - I have invested way too much time in Houston games lately and it seems they always end the way I don't want. If I had just rooted against them (like I should have), then I would be much happier.

Too bad about the pick, though.

No not yet. Utah series is tied and Houston owns the tiebreaker over them. Dallas needs to beat both Memphis to SA to win that tiebreaker. Should be close.

Ugh I really thought Houston would win last night. It looks like the Mavs are in - the Griz are awful/injury depleted and can't be counted on to win, the Clippers have nothing to play for, and the Spurs will probably be resting their players. As a result, I'm guessing the Mavs finish between at worst 2 games over 500, and maybe even 6 games over, but likely 4 games over, meaning they'd definitely beat out the Rockets and probably the Jazz too, meaning pick 16 at best

I hate to jinx it, but here is a brief history of the 16th pick in the draft:

2015: Rozier
2014: Nurkic
2013: Lucas Nogueira (although Greek Freak and Schroeder were 15 and 17)
2012: Royce White (dear lord)
2011: Nikola Vucevic (and with Kawhi and Shump either side)
2010: Luke Babbit
2009: James Johnson
2008: Mo Speights
2007: Nick Young
2006: Rodney Carney
2005: Joey Graham

Not great, but just need a bit of luck as always

Brooklyn has a winning record against three teams this year: Houston, Denver and Phoenix. Congratulations, Houston, you're with the dregs. Even Philly beat BKN twice. The only team that has screwed our draft picks as much as Houston this year is, well, us. But I still hate Houston.

Dwight Howard is either the laziest basketball player or his back injury is so bad that he can barely bend and has to move around like a stiff.

Thank god we didn't trade for him.
