The Rockets are so screwed. Losing to the Mavericks isn’t so bad on the face of it, but this isn’t any old Mavericks team. This is a Mavericks team with Dirk taken out and Charlie Villanueva put in his place!
Say what you will about Dirk being old and not all that good, but anything bad you could say about him HAS been said about Villanueva for years now. No defense, willing to shoot any time he touches the ball, disturbing hairlessness, never been on a playoff team until the tail end of his career, overpaid. No one has anything good to say about Charlie Buckets.
Except for, at the end of this video, “High Basketball IQ”. What? For shooting the ball when he had an advantageous matchup? He would have shot it no matter who was on him.
