If We Are Done, Are We Finished?

This sounds like it's a bad thing, but I really like having a backup who is able to abuse opposite backups.

Sure it is good to have them. But it also shows the limitations which are then especially exposed in the playoffs, where junk time lineups are gone from opponents teams. I think Cato covered this nicely a while ago with the high floor low ceiling guys. I think Mavs have several guys in the regular rotation that are good for regular season but their limitation shows in playoffs: Maxi, Powell, Brunson. There is reasonable hope Brunson will improve.

I think as of now Mavs only have four players (Luka, THJ, KP, DFS) who they can count on in playoffs and another two (Brunson, Bullock) in the TBD category. Not nearly enough for more than "lets hope we win a playoff series" imho.
