NBA YTD: 304-216-13 This Week: 14-4 Wednesday: 5-1
Dallas Mavericks -5.5 Bad spot for the Rockets. Playing 3 games in 4 nights and actually playing 5 games in 7 days. They did played 3 fast paced games and fatigue should be a huge factor. Then, will be playing a Mavs' team who's 10th in defensive efficiency and 6th in points allowed with 94.4. Trends doesn't really mean much since both teams cancels each other out in some spots. Don't get me wrong, this one isn't a lock or anything. If the Rockets have a favorable schedule, I'd probably be on them instead. Dallas won 3 of their last 5 but those were ugly wins. Dirk is almost there with his numbers except his FG% is way down. They had a hard time against Jersey and had an ugly win against the Clippers. I think that one game should pretty much serve as a wake up game for them to keep things together. In the past, both teams splits their last two season series with only one game being decided by 6 points or less.
In their 11/29/10 matchup, Nowitzki and Butler came up big with key runs in the second and the fourth quarter. Mavs shot almost 50% from the field while limiting the Rockets to 36 which the Mavs could barely do the last 5 games. They were almost even in every other stat except for a 39-47 rebounding edge in favor of the Mavs. Again, the play is one against the bad scheduling and fatigue factor for the Rockets catching a rested Mavericks team who plays much better at home and even better with the crowd feeding them energy.
BOL.

why do you say that was an ugly win vs the Clippers....they absolutely dominated the entire 2nd half and let it slip a bit the last 2 minutes of the game.....the Clippers played terrible 2nd half but Dallas locked down the D....I think that is a solid win to build off of and should be a solid play tomorrow.

Yep. How ugly win. Don't get me wrong. I watched the whole game. I even had a Dallas rally thread going and still that was one ugly win. The Clippers still shot 55.7% at the end of the game. Good thing they're the clippers and the shift in momentum was too much en route to a Dallas FG and 2nd Half cover. I hope we see the same lock down D tomorrow in a rivalry game.

You think that the Rick Carlisle/Baron Davis incident got the Mavs fired up or what? This could be a nice turn around to their little slump they've been having.
And what was that incident? Please enlighten us.

Yeah pretty much so. It's like when you see your teacher vouching for you or something.

Yeah this is part of what what scared me off this game. The Mavs were the best team in the NBA at that point & won by 10. Not so hot now & without Butler of course.
If I were to make a play it would be on Dallas. BOL
