Jason Terry was a starter in the final meeting between the Mavericks and Rockets in the regular season and has filled in admirably for injured point guard Patrick Beverley, who is not expected to be available for this series.
Nobody appreciates the skills Terry has better than Mavericks coach Rick Carlisle.
“He’s a great playoff player,” he said. “He’s proven that. He’s been doing it at the highest level. We have a lot of respect for him. He’s going to come at us hard and vice-versa. That’s what the playoffs are about.”
Terry was a major force in the Mavericks’ championship run in 2011.
