    Unlike the Pistons, we can actually dominate an injured team’s bench, thankfully.

    Sengun and Jabari looked really good tonight, and we know they can be at least somewhat reliable and consistent. Amen still seems to be sick but got better with more time, admittedly mainly through garbage time. Same with Cam, who looked pretty good. This team made a big jump from last year, but it’s still mainly a development year. Would love Amen and Cam to be significant bench pieces as the season goes.

    Onto the Pelicans tomorrow. Hope the starters enjoyed the rest because they’ll most likely need it.

  2. suicideskinnies

    I’m excited to see what Cam can do with rotational minutes. His time will come.

  3. Few_Mulberry5372

    Cam’s 3 was off tonight but he was able to still have an efficient offensive night by finishing at the rim. Wish Jalen could do that

  4. Na where’s the guy who blocked me for saying Cam is a better option than Reggie? Lol

    I don’t ever want to hear Reggie Bullock is a better option than Cam Whitmore.

    Also, Jalen was looking hella nervous on the bench when Cam was balling 😂

  5. Throwawayttyllytt

    CAM WHITMORE. I know he can shoot 3s so i’m not worried bout that, but his defense and finishing is so good for a 19 year old rookie. PLEASE GIVE HIM REAL MINUTES

  6. yesyepyea

    Our starters will have fresh legs tomorrow thanks to that blow out. Rookies look very promising!

  7. Jabari settling in is fantastic to see. Still finding his role on the floor but the growing pains seem to be getting better and better. Great piece to build around with Sengun.

  8. AlertPound9343

    Got to see the young guys tonight that was nice. Gonna rest up and prepare for the 7 trillion cam should play over jalen posts that will flood our page tonight and tomorrow.

  9. cam unironically might be our best slasher and perimeter finisher/driver and he was a gleague player till now. hope that changes moving on

  10. Our players giving everyone in high fives. I hope they got a butt load of hand sanitizer. This team needs some vitamin c and more hand washing.

  11. LorelessFrog

    I am SO excited for Whitmore. Amen played well too. Guys, THIS TEAM WILL BE LEGIT FOR YEARS TO COME

  12. We still got lots of tweaks to figure out…but we have core pieces in Alp, Jabari, FVV, Brooks & a growing young supporting cast with Amen, Cam, & Tari so I’m feeling good.

  13. handofluke

    🐴🔫

    Shhhhh. Just close your eyes. It will all be over soon.

  14. StandardProper5127

    Give Cam Whitmore meaningful minutes. That is all I have to say. Go 🚀

  15. Right-Worth-6327

    Good win, did exactly what we were meant to do in blowing out an undermanned Mavericks team. Another notch in the belt of improvement.

  16. nonetimeaccount

    🐴 🔫 SHHHHHHHHHH

    DAY OFF, PLAYOFF, LAYOFF, IDGAF. WE GONNA TAKE THAT MAVERICK ASS

    ALPI MADE IT LOOK EASY

    BARI GIVING ALL-STAR PRODUCTION WITH NO SCHEME

    AMEN LOOKED GOOD AFTER SOME EARLY JITTERS

    MANAGEMENT ASKED ME TO TELL THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PICTURES OF CAM AND A BUCKET AND I COULDN’T FIND ANY

    LIGHT WORK. I LOOK FORWARD TO FACING NBA COMPETITION AGAIN SOON.

    GAMECUBE. NINTENDO.

  17. wgel1000

    Perfect night.

    We rested our starters for tomorrow and now we know that Amen and Cam can contribute to the team.

    Thank the Mavs!

  18. mogodogo

    Cam’s got a nice layup package, I think that’s the difference when his 3’s aren’t falling. He’s also a lot more active going after loose balls and 2nd chance opportunities. Good to see him get some minutes and he played as expected, but let’s pump the brakes a little and see how he does against a starting caliber NBA team.

    Amen was the more impressive of the two, really had a couple nice middies and ran the offense. Great decision making and the passing is on point. We got another 60 games and plenty of time to see how minutes will be distributed as the team matures. Cream will rise to the top and time is on our side, this squad is loaded.

  19. PreacherOfPositivity

    #WHAM!! BAM!!! THANK YOU CAM!!!!!

  20. Ive liked him so much before the draft. I know forsure he can smash threw our rotation. Cam, tari, bari ina lineup is gona smash threw the best of em

  21. poopoojoefocker

    idk how I lost mavs team total under 93.5 after the first 3 quarters 😭😭

  22. fallenangel1789

    In three years alpi, jabari, tari, cam and amen and maybe green will rock the league. Real dynasty.

  23. fashionandfeetz

    Cam looks like our best finisher at the rim.

    Edit: Even bleacher report showing love to him

  24. WuziMuzik

    They are still just start of the second phase of the rebuild. And winning more isn’t the only thing they are supposed to do. I hope there are more times they play without FVV having to be on the floor with sengun green and jabari without them having to completely blowout the other team first.

  25. RidgeRunner99

    Watching Cam and Amen get NBA minutes, we got a bright future with those 2 rookies as well as the wonderful talent of everyone else! Tonight was an excellent night 😎😎😎

  26. StandardProper5127

    Cam Whitmore postgame interview “idk why coach ime has me playing garbage minutes while Jalen green continues to get punked going to the rim. We would be 17-9 if I played Jalen green minutes. Udoka trippin cuh, free me”

  27. Internal_Mud9673

    Think i got Cam Whitmore fever over here

  28. JesseKilgannon

    I feel kinda shitty for saying it, but I’m not sold Jalen is truly our guy to build around. Jabari and Sengun are an absolutely lethal front court if they turn out to be as great as they’ve been looking

  29. xedizzzlex

    This should be a wakeup call for Jalen. He needs to realize Cam will be a serious threat to his spot. Hopefully this pushes him to be better. Either way this competition works out for us as rockets fans. Iron sharpens irons and we’ll hopefully get a better player
