GDT: Kings @ Mavs February 16th - 7:30 CST/8:30 EST
The Future Has Arrived
Quote:
It looked foolish a month ago, but JJ Barea continues to impress as the days go by. He has continued his scorching hot offensive stretch, leaving many to wondering whether or not the guard has turned the corner and is developing into a consistent back-up the Mavericks can count on. "I’m just going out there every game and try to do my best, play hard, stay aggressive and attack the paint," Barea said. "I just go out there and play hard and hope for the best." To an extent, many people are hopeful that this is just the tip of the iceberg of what they could see in Roddy Beaubois when he returns from his injury.
News came Tuesday afternoon that Roddy Beaubois will make his debut on Wednesday as the Mavericks host the Sacramento Kings. "No one's more excited than me," Carlisle said of the return of the French guard. "I know that he can elevate our team in a lot of areas on the one hand. On the other hand, we're talking about a kid who has established only one line of consistency, that is playing two-guard when Jason Kidd is playing the one. So my job as coach, and our job as a franchise, is to get him in a position to be more consistent on an all-around basis, and that's going to be extremely challenging given all these circumstances."
The expectations are going to be high as Beaubois returns. Everyone needs to tap the break and allow Beaubois to establish himself again with the team and get his feet under him. The Mavericks stressed patience with Peja Stojakovic coming on board. They also stressed when Dirk Nowitzki was returning from his sprained right knee. The situation will not be any different with Beaubois.
The legend of Beaubois grows by the day. Each and every day, his mystique continued to growing larger as he was recovering from his foot injury. The last significant action we saw from the guard was during the Mavericks' playoff series against the San Antonio Spurs. He scored 16 points in 21 minutes of Game 6, keying a comeback that ultimately fell short. The legend of Beaubois could be setting him up for failure. Expecting Beaubois to return as a star is unrealistic considering his inexperience and nearly six month setback due to injury. "I would just caution everybody to just temper this with some realistic expectations," Carlisle said. "It's going to be hard coming off six months without playing. We'll see." We will see, but we have seen something over the past 10 games that could give us an indication of what Beaubois could bring to the team in due time.

Do you think that Roddy just needs to go in full blast and do all kinds of risky alley-oop tricks, or should he play conservatively for the next 1-2 weeks to get his feet wet? In other works, go ahead and find out if he is going to break down quickly and get him out of the playoff plans so that trades can be made, or just ease him along?

You're joking right? Risky alley-oop tricks, to see if he is going to break down? I'd love to hear more about where you stand on this issue. More please.

Wednesday will provide the return of Roddy Beaubois to the Mavericks lineup as they play the Sacramento Kings. It will be their first game of a back-to-back before the All-Star break, they play the Phoenix Suns on Thursday. JJ Barea left practice early on Tuesday with a flu-bug and a groin issue. Rick Carlisle said that he felt the groin issue was doing better. "I think he's going to play," said Carlisle.
Having Barea and Beaubois in the lineup would allow the Mavericks (sans Caron Butler) to be as healthy as they have been in recent months. It is a good situation to be in, but Carlisle does not want to get comfortable with the idea that things will stay this way in terms of health. "Well, listen, we made progress with our health for sure," Carlisle said. "I don't have a good feeling about anything because I think when you start feeling good is when you get into a dangerous situation. We've got to continue to push forward. Even though we have guys that have become healthier there's more ground to cover."
With the roster as is (including Beaubois), Carlisle does have an idea of how the rotation will round out but he remains flexible on the situation. "You can't get too locked into that because circumstances can change," Carlisle said. "You've got to be flexible and that's the most prudent way to go forward with that." The big question will be whether or not Beaubois starts or does he come off the bench? That answer will come minutes before tip off.

This is like a preseason game for him, after undergoing essentially 2 weeks of double days training camp style. I think playing any game you go full blast, but you just try to stick to the team concept, run your shells and see what comes of it. Will Kidd want to lob it for him, sure, get the confidence going early. You start balling him today, the plan is to have him part of the regular rotation well into June.

I think Rick Carlisle will disappoint you now that Barea is available. But nonetheless, it's good to have a deep roster. Go Mavs!

I liked this little tidbit from Caplan's article...
Quote:
Will Carlisle insert Beaubois into the starting lineup in his first game a la Peja Stojakovic? Only Carlisle knows that right now. But, when he rattled off praise for his bench, Beaubois was conspicuously not mentioned. Intentional? (add suspense music here).
