We have seen more Powell starts. THJ has started a couple times in place of J Rich. J Rich finally got benched in the 2nd half last night. THJ has caught on fire. It's got to happen, there's just no reason left to not start that same lineup and at least see how it fares.
It's going to put a huge amount of pressure on JB as "the guy" off the bench, but he's one of our best players, and it's time for that step-up. The Mavs have a huge winning percentage in games they led after the first quarter. A starting lineup with THJ ought to make that a pretty constant thing. If they went the rest of their games leading after the first quarter = championship? Hmmm...
