If anything, it looks like he's gained a step. He's keeping up with the defense and playing the P&R very well.

[DirkFTW]

Is there a way to blur out the Rockets-related stuff on the highlights? I want to see... but not like this.

[Bookit]

The only question is..... Will Cuban still retire Terry's number now that he has "tainted his loyalty" by playing for the Rocketts? We all know how emotional Cuban can be.

Perhaps you're just joking, but JET was traded to Houston.

[Bookit]

Kind of joking but the reason I put "tainted his loyalty" because you never know how Cuban perceives JET trying to pump up the crowd and loving his teammates down in Houston. Different than finishing out your career riding the bench.

[grndmstr_c]

Probably just views it as JET being JET.

[yahyes]

It's a major barf. But i gotta feeling the wall will hit him by January. Especially if he's coming off like 3 leg injures. Houston is playing him a lot.

Jet hasn't tainted anything. Cuban fired him.

And he absolutely should have, considering the price tag Jet was looking for (and his quality of play since leaving).

You mean this quality?

Then jet sure as heck hasn't been disloyal. And I love how that plan has worked out.

[grndmstr_c]

Cuban didn't fire JET any more than JET quit. The contract came to an end. Really don't get why people continue to work so hard to dramatize everything. Y'all watch too much TV.

[LonghornDub]

Some of you are silly. JET will be working for the Mavs' FO within 5 years. He's a lifetime Mav. Get over it.

[DevinHarriswillstart]

You guys know better than to fall into the dude schtick trap.

Wouldn't surprise me and he deserves it.

[Murphy3]

Never liked him to begin with...

[LSMF]

I'm just happy he's been playing well. I love that guy.

We will see how much "schtick" it is when Father Time shows us that the only chance for the dirkster to come close to competing for another ring was with the best team in the world.

[antoinewalker]

it's sad seeing the JET on someone else's runway.

do you think he will do the "flying jet" in dallas when he comes back to play us?

[j0Shi]

Watching the recaps on NBA.com today, Terry jumping into the air, fist-pumping and then going to Harden to congratulate on a circus and-1 just reminded me how much Terry gave us as crowd animator.

With all the boring halfcourt sets we run back then, we needed the JET to take off from time to time.

Exactly. I'll be downright shocked if #31 isn't in the rafters in the next few years. And I would not be at all surprised to see him in the FO sometime soon too.

People, remember how bitter the falling out was between Cuban and Finley? And that Fin ended up playing for and winning a ring with the Spurs? Fin is in the Mavs' FO now. Somehow I don't think that Cuban sees Jet playing with the Rockets as any sort of betrayal.

Click through and give MacMahon some love, but text posted below for the lazy: Jason Terry on 'other side' of Mavs-Rockets rivalry

HOUSTON – Jason Terry proudly wears Houston Rockets red these days, happy to have a chance to play with a contender again at the age of 37.

But “Jet,” who spent half of his 16 NBA seasons with the Dallas Mavericks, readily admits that there’s still a lot of blue running through his blood.

“I’m still true to what we accomplished with the organization,” Terry told ESPNDallas.com a few nights before he’ll face the Mavs at the Toyota Center. “It’ll never be forgotten. But now I’m with the Rockets. I walked right into the rivalry. These two teams do not like each other. I’m just on the other side now.”

Terry used to be considered a Rockets killer, a title he earned during the 2005 playoffs, when he had a pair of 30-plus-point performances to help Dallas dig out of a 2-0 hole to eliminate Houston in the first round. He’s heard countless times this season how strange it is to see him in red.

When it comes to rivalries, however, Terry considers himself somewhat of a chameleon.

“It’s my job,” Terry said. “Whatever team I go to, I take on whatever they’ve got. Like when I was in Boston, it was the Lakers. We couldn’t stand each other. Always Miami, I don’t care I play for. Brooklyn had a thing for the Knicks. I jumped right in. I wear whatever hat I play for. It’s always personal for me. They’re the enemy now.

“It’s not a disdain. It’s just a healthy, competitive [feeling]. I definitely don’t want them to win.”

Terry developed a two-fold reputation during his years in Dallas: He was an elite clutch scorer and perhaps even more potent trash talker. However, you won’t hear him say a harsh word about the Mavs.

Terry, who is averaging 7.4 points per game off the Rockets’ bench, still considers several members of the Mavs organization to be close friends. That isn’t limited to coach Rick Carlisle and former teammates Dirk Nowitzki, Tyson Chandler, J.J. Barea and Devin Harris.

Terry, who has been promised a position with the Mavs once he decides to hang up his Reeboks, feels a great debt of gratitude for the way the franchise has treated him since his departure from Dallas, where he hoped to finish his career.

The Mavs allowed Terry, who still has a home in Frisco, to train at their facility during his recent time in NBA limbo, when he was officially on the Sacramento Kings roster but in reality waiting to be moved to another franchise. Terry is especially appreciative of the treatment he received from Mavs athletic trainer Casey Smith while recovering from the knee surgery he underwent in the 2013 offseason.

For 48 minutes on Saturday night, Terry will put those warm feelings aside, for the first of four meetings between franchises that have become some of the NBA’s fiercest rivals.

“It’s like your brother, if you were to play against him,” Terry said. “It’s always going to be the toughest battle you have. At the end of the day, I hope I win, and then we’ll shake hands afterward and give hugs.”
