The Mavs have the 4th ranked D in the NBA when Luka and THJ are NOT on the court at the same time. I think this is a MAJOR reason Kidd started bringing THJ off the bench recently.

Ya this definitely doesn't surprise me. I guess my comment is more towards the fact that we now have Maxi/DFS/Reggie/Brown/Frank to throw out as wing defenders this year where as last year it was just Maxi and DFS. Luka is obviously worth the defenses lapses most game and I actually think Hardaway is a good one on one defender (and draws a ton of charges which I feel never gets enough credit, shoutout JJB) but man Hardaway always seems to be giving help when it's not needed and it creates so many rotation issues for us.
