I still hate him and his stupid face. - Jerome Miron-USA TODAY Sports
The Rockets look to sweep the home-and-home series with the Mavericks tonight in Dallas after beating the Mavs handily in Houston.
I haven't changed anything from the matchups. It's not superstition, it's laziness.
Flush the last game, because this one is the most important of the season for the Rockets. The Rockets haven't won in Dallas since December 18, 2009. Yes, the Rockets beat the Mavs twice in a 2-week span in 2009, but couldn't beat them in 11 tries after that.
Logic.
Tip-off at 7:30pm CST.
PG: Jeremy Lin vs. Darren Collison
Collison will split time with former Rocket Mike James.
For the Rockets, these games mark Aaron Brooks' return. Maybe he'll do this to them again.

Advantage: Dallas
SG: James Harden vs. O.J. Mayo
Mayo had the Rockets' number earlier this year, dropping approximately 200 points on the good guys. I hate him.
Advantage: Dallas
SF: Chandler Parsons vs. Shawn Marion
I also hate Marion.
Advantage: Dallas
PF: Donatas Motiejunas vs. Dirk Nowitzki
Don't get me started.
Advantage: Dallas
C: Omer Asik vs. Chris Kaman
He's going for 50/25 tonight.
Advantage: Dallas
Bench:
Mike James is a good veteran point guard. Vince Carter has revived his career in Dallas. Elton Brand is a great backup center. And Jae Crowder is a physical and athletic presence.
The Rockets have Patrick Beverley, Carlos Delfino, Thomas Robinson, Greg Smith and Francisco Garcia
Advantage: Dallas
Prediction: The Rockets can't stop the Mavs from doing Mavs things, lose 130-105.
