Balance shifted all the way to offense. Don't think you can away with it on defense. 18 minutes of POA from Grimes. Who is guarding the best opposing scorer for the rest of the game. Not to even mention teams with multiple threats.

You're acting as if Klay is a sieve defensively and the Mavs will have no other plus defenders on the court.  Team defense is more important than a single player stifling another. 

Between PJ/Klay/Lively there is enough perimeter defense that will make life hard for players who like to drive into the paint. 

And now we have the added benefit of making the other team work much harder on defense, which is itself a form of defense.
