I am not speaking about minutes Brown was given, thrown in the lion pit against huge team to be destroyed. Part of second and third quarter, more minutes if he has a good day. I think his play last season showed he is capable of that. He was even a difference maker here and there, provided much needed energy. I don't think he is that bad on the offensive end that the team couldn't survive with him on the floor for those 10 minutes or so. Encourage him when he makes a mistake.
Gotcha.
So why do you think this hasn't been the approach? Put yourself in their shoes - can you rationalize it to support the reality of what we're seeing (that he's not playing) or do you just think it's a mistake, no matter how you slice it - incompetence on the Mavericks' part?
If it's a mistake, who do you incline to blame? Is this a head coach thing (Carlisle and Kidd)? Is it a blind spot on the organizational level?
