Game 55 Preview: Dallas Mavericks vs. Houston Rockets
by Patrick Harrel on Feb 12, 2011 4:02 PM CST
Email
PrintNote from AK: Thanks to Patrick for filling in on the preview. Great insight.
While the Dream Shake's most hated team has been getting most of the attention over the last few days because of the departure of their incredibly tenured coach, the Rockets face off tonight against perhaps Houston's second most hated team.
In addition to this bitter rivalry, tonight is the matchup of the two teams in the Western Conference in the forefront of the Carmelo Anthony rumors (not including the Lakers). These two teams, who are reportedly both willing to go after Anthony without the promise of an extension, will do battle tonight.
Two teams coming off of days of rest, this game should be one characterized by sharp offensive sets and impeccable defensive rotations. Given how the Rockets season has gone, I think it's fair to assume that it will be about the opposite.
Last time these teams met up, the Rockets employed their classic "fall way behind and then slowly tease your fans with a comeback, only to lose" strategy. The Rockets managed to limit the injured Dirk Nowitzki, but unsurprisingly the 7'1" almost-Rocket, Tyson Chandler, burned the Rockets for 21 and 15.
Matchups after the jump!
PG: Kyle Lowry vs. Jason Kidd
Kyle Lowry and Jason Kidd is a matchup of two surprisingly similar point guards. Both are pass-first guards, strong rebounders, improved shooters in recent years, and extremely smart.
Jason Kidd has been shockingly inefficient this year, but is still extremely valuable because of his ability to run the offense and rebound like a big man. Lowry, is probably a better defender and a better operator in transition, but is not as good of a passer or rebounder as Kidd.
Advantage: Even
SG: Kevin Martin vs. DeShawn Stevenson
Ok, Stevenson plays between five and ten minutes per half and is really a placeholder for Jason Terry, but he starts nonetheless. Comparing him with Martin is really no comparison.
Martin is second in the league in scoring per minute. DeShawn Stevenson is shooting in the 40's for the first time in four years. Martin leads the league in free throw makes. DeShawn is among the league leaders in trash talking.
You get the picture.
Advantage: Rockets
SF: Shane Battier vs. Peja Stojakovic
Another placeholder for the Mavericks, Stojakovic starts and just tries to tread water until Shawn Marion enters the game. Once again, it's an unfair comparison, but about the only advantage Stojakovic has over Battier is the money he's made this year.
Advantage: Rockets
PF: Luis Scola vs. Dirk Nowitzki
These guys will likely not be guarding each other (Hayes will probably be on Dirk with Scola on Chandler), but if they do, things could get interesting. Am I the only one who would expect at least one moment where both of them flop simultaneously and hit the deck?
Flopping aside, while Scola's been very strong for the Rockets this year, he is no Dirk. Dirk has played extremely well this year when healthy, and should dominate the Rockets who have nobody with enough length to challenge his above-the-head jumper.
Edge: Mavericks
C: Chuck Hayes vs. Tyson Chandler
One center is 7'1". One center is 6'6". How many years is it going to take before the Rockets are the ones with the tall center?
Despite his limited height, Chuck Hayes is an all-around badass. He defends like few can, rebounds with positioning and strength, and is among the league's best passers from the pivot. Is he better than Chandler, who is having a career year? No, but he is closer than you think.
Edge: Mavericks
Bench:
Mavericks: JJ Barea, Jason Terry, Shawn Marion, Ian Mahinmi, Brian Cardinal (!), Brendan Haywood
Rockets: Aaron Brooks, Courtney Lee, Chase Budinger, Terrence Williams (just kidding), Jordan Hill, Patrick Patterson, and Brad Miller
Edge: Considering the Mavericks second unit could likely beat our starters, I'm not going to even compare them to our bench.
Injuries:
Mavericks: Caron Butler out, Rodrigue Beaubois out (coming back later this week perhaps)
Rockets: Yao Ming and Tracy McGrady out (ok maybe not, but it's fitting that they'd be together)
Prediction: Rockets need this one badly, but they fall in the end.

5 games before the deadline, we're 4 games under .500
vs. Dallas, vs. Denver, vs. Philly, @ Detroit, @ Cleveland. .500 by Feb. 24th doesn’t look out of reach.

We have to beat two very good teams to get there
It’s not out of the realm of possibility, but I think that this guy might keep us from doing it:

Great job, you should write here more often (not saying that as a slight to AK or Tom)
I didn't take it as a slight
Patrick really came through in the clutch. I’m like Kevin Martin and he’s like Shane Battier. Except only in clutchness, not in actual ability.
How many Biletnikoffs does he have? NOT TWO!
Instead of saying Terrence Williams is injured,
you should say that he does not currently exist.

I've actually lost most of my hatred for Dallas.
Maybe it’s because they’ve emphasized D this year. I’m not honestly sure why.
I will probably be reminded why I hate them if when the trolls from MavsMoneyball come over here.

Suggests Rockets win this by 5, Twill plays 3.5mins and Brooks scores 20.

Geroge Karl Seattle defense
Just like Bill just mentioned, Gary Payton used to guard the 1-2 or the 3. Sonics were down 0-2 to the bulls in the finals and then Payton went on Jordan and it became 2-2.

chuck's outlet pass is really good
i remember thinking that in a few games last week
lowry not looking for the three today
either someone talked to him or he wasn’t shooting well in practice
T-Will is in a suit.....
I no longer have interest in this game.
Someone post a recap because I’m tired of watching T-Will rot on the bench.

He's back and played very well,unlike some
Actually did what we want out of him-rebounded,fought on offensive glass,contested Mavs penetration,hustled hard several times. If he could repeat this game on a consistant basis,the Rockets would be very happy.
(Or else we just have to make sure his old college coach attends every game!)
Thank you Lowry for making that decision

I really hope AB
starts playing well. The guy was my favorite player last year (besides Battier of course). I think we all forget how integral he was for us. He’s a good player. Let’s just hope he can find his shot soon and just get back to being AB.

Same situation. Battier and Brooks were my favorite players last year.

good lord this blog draws a young crowd
buy the 94 championship dvd (or vhs if you really want the old school) and watch OT (otis, the original chuck hayes). Also note how what wasn’t even called back then would be a flagrant 2 in today’s nba. And to tie it into current conversation, remember we considered the Jazz dirty even back then, when shit like that was considered normal.

yeah i remember that game
but this was maybe before it become universally known how open our paint is
i think we're leading the game in one stat category
missed wide open layups
Am I the only one who feels Adelman loses some games Hou should win
by riding the bench too long? Starters were playing well, winning at the end of the 1st, then Rick leaves the bench in until Dal has a large lead, and all the momentum. This happens far too often. If Kev and Scola were playing 35+ mins per night, I have a feeling Hou would have a few more wins.

Another placeholder for the Mavericks, Stojakovic starts and just tries to tread water until Shawn Marion enters the game. Once again, it’s an unfair comparison, but about the only advantage Stojakovic has over Battier is the money he’s made this year.

We need a closer
And a long rebounder, defender in the post, another shooter, and more. This is not just reacting to this horrible game, this is fact.
well a good comeback but not enough again
but the worst part is everyone is going to be here tomorrow saying “AB 2-14 OMG we totally lost because of him” whereas the reason we lost, AGAIN, was because our paint was wide open.
40 points in the paint in the first half—wretched

100% showcasing him for a trade
With his recent string of games, nobody should play this amount of time. He’s certainly making it as hard as possible to trade him.
If you're a fan of basketball, watch a movie called Sonicsgate. It's free, just google it.
That's my theory as well.

Oh contraire my dear friend
He’s not making it hard, he just wants to screw us in return value… so basically we won’t get any good players for him, but watch, he’ll average close to 20 pts a game after the deadline

yeah i'm sure he's missing on purpose
seriously, some things people say are so stupid
I don't think that he will average 20 points ever again in his career.

Brooks good game
Over the last 16 games, Brooks has only had one good game — against Atlanta, where he hit 8/14 and had 10 assists. Somehow he did that coming off the bench. In the other 15 games, he stinks. His supporters claim he is a great scorer. Below is what Brooks has done in the recent losses. He shoots us out of games. He takes too many shots and misses 75% of them. Without Brooks in the game, we would have won some of the following losses.
NO – 3/6
Mem – 2/10
ORL – 2/11
DAL – 2/10
SAS – 3 of 12
LAL – 7 of 19 (heh, not bad)
Minn – 1/8
DAL – 2/14
It's not just this game,but a month of bad games
In the 4 game stretch ending Jan 15,Brooks showed signs he was about to re-emerge as the old Aaron Brooks going 25 for 49.
Since then Brooks has played in 13 games,only 2 of which were back-2-backs and has gone a staggeringly bad 43 for 155. That’s 28%. In only one of the games has he even shot above 40% when he went 6-12 against Utah.
He’s played 299 minutes(w/155 FGAs!),23 minutes a game and is barely averaging 1.5 Assists to Turnovers,36-21(and the base standard for PGs is at least 2-1).
He had two days off before Minn and went 1-8. He had three days off before tonight’s game w/Dallas and went 2-14.
Overall,in his 25 games back from being Ginobilied,Aaron has had only 6 games where he’s shot over 40%.
Anybody else w/this epic body of bad work would get parked on the bench.
You would think he would hold off on jacking up so many shots
when he’s shooting such a poor %. Especially as a pg. A pg’s main job is to make sure the team runs a sifficiently as possible. Clearly, with the way he’s been shooting of late, the team isn’t as efficient as it would be when he’s on the floor, if some of those shots went to others.
He’s never been much of a playmaker, but now he’s playing more like a como guard. He used to look to set others up more frequently, but now shoots about every time he see’s the opportuntiy, even when the better play might be passing.
well looking at yesterday's game, he held off shooting once he was off to a bad start until the game was out of hand
he was something like 0-6 through the first 3 quarters and once we were down by like 20 points, he chanced his arm
but he does need to play off the ball more.
Maybe I shouldn't watch games anymore.
We always seem to do better when I’m not around. Like the fact that I decided to go back to playing TF2 after the first half.
Anyways, Hill played decently. Yay.

Bud played only 7 minutes......
and Battier played 40…….
This cannot continue. If Adelman does not trust Bud, he has to put T-Will in, even if he’s not done pissing on him. It’s gotten to the point where I think that Adelman is not playing T-Will for a reason. Here’s my theory:
Morey is very complicated when it comes to trades. He’s very sneaky, and unpredictable. The reason we are not playing T-Will is this: We do not want other teams to see him play. Morey is very active in the trade deadline. If he wants Nene or DeAndre Jordan or whoever else, he does not want to give up T-Will. If teams see his potential, then they may require him to be apart of the package. This may or may not be the reason, but the reasons to play T-Will heavily outweigh the reasons not to play T-Will.
After the deadline, we will hopefully see him inserted into the rotation. Adelman and Morey are smart guys. There’s not a chance in hell we are going to play 32 year old Shane Battier 38 minutes per game just because his back up (Bud) isn’t good enough. At one point or another, Terrence has to play.

I agree,but...
Battier got a lot of his minutes tonight(and in last game) as a PF in small-ball lineup w/Lee,Brooks and Lowry. Tonight it was effective as the big was Hill,who played hard and was contesting shots,running court and fighting for rebounds.
Prior to tonight Battier was averaging 30 minutes and Bud 18. Martin has been getting 31 minutes and Lee 19. For a team thinking it’s still in Play-Off hunt,that’s pretty fair. Esp when Battier has been shooting better than Bud,both overall and from 3pt land.
I think the issue w/Williams is whose minutes does he take?
Martin is getting the fewest in his career as a starter(and for those grumbling about his minutes,he’s played more games this year than his past two)
Battier is playing very well and you know he can play D
Lee has been the one bright spot off bench
Brooks is a PG,and if Adelman has Smith on hand to handle the PG if he decides to bench Brooks
Which leaves Bud. Who has no confidence and if he’s benched you probably lose him. If you play Williams and he doesn’t work out,you’ve effed your bench all up. Once the season is done,no big deal(and I’d say that after losing to Minn at home,followed by getting blown out by Dallas until Lowry started dropping 3s,this season is done)and you start seeing what everyone can do. Until then-or the trade we’re all expecting,no matter what form it takes-Adelman is going to play it safe and go w/what worked last yr.
My Theory is
that Adelman is tired of DM messing around with the roster so he’s going to make a stand and not play any players that were not part of the roster during pre-season

i don't think so
the only guy he’s lost since preseason is jermaine taylor and the only guy he’s gained is terrence williams.
i really want to believe your t-will theory
but i don’t think this is the case. i think this is just unbridled optimism. i think our coaching crew is seriously been below part his season. i think we’re just waiting till we are well out of the playoff race and then we’ll explore the young options.
The theory is complete nonsense
He’s under contract. He’s making very limited money and he’s not going anywhere unless we agree until at least 2013. What are we trying to hide him for? What harm comes of other teams’ knowing he’s good? Are the Clippers making a huge mistake by letting Blake Griffin take the floor. They’ve apparently really screwed up by letting the cat out of the bag.
hahahahahahahahahah
you guys lost
all of you fuckin cocksucker rockets fan can go to hell
You funny....

Ya we lost
As Rockets fans, we obviously get very mad when people say that because it never happens to us.
