I was impressed that he was passing more out of his drives than I ever saw him do as a Mav. He is pretty salty in the lane, but then when it matters he comes up short.I relate to your comments about Barnes. I have come to think that his ceiling is probably as a veteran third or fourth option on a contender. He has these tantalizing moments where you think the possibilities are endless, but it somehow never pans out.
Man I wish we could play JJB more, he just is a winner. I know he's old but we can't play him 15 minutes a night? I am going to miss him when he retires, probably my favorite Mav outside of Dirk all-time.
It wouldn't totally surprise me to see more of Barea later in the season, depending on the team record. Meanwhile, he makes a great secret sauce to spice up the game when the opponents least expect it!
