The biggest problem IMO has been the breakdown of rotations and closeouts, etc., when Luka+THJ have been playing together.

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.
