Yup I was TOTALLY wrong about Barea. Egg on my face for sure. Let's see if Carlisle keeps it that way though. I wouldn't mind Carlisle keeping Barea in his back pocket as a game changer, to be used only if necessary.
Think ... Mavs are on life support with no energy, down 22 points with 6 minutes lefft in the 3rd. Carlisle wants to take a technical to send a message but instead sends in Barea like a shot of adrenalin. An urgent dose of Barea. Too much and it will kill you but the right amount at the right time will restart your heart.

I do really like Curry in the rotation, I just don't think you can overuse him. He is Seth Curry after all. He made a great impact in the first half but not so much in the second. I love Curry like Portland used him. Basically an 18-20 minute crafty, veteran shooter.
Just like he was used last night ... +11
I don't see him finishing games just because Carlisle will need a defender on the floor. I do like the Brunson closing in the backcourt with Doncic. DFS on the wing with Porzingis and Kleber or Powell.
