Totally agrree. I didn't know that number (thanks), but I remember watching the lineup well, and it was by far the best lineup the Mavs had post-trade. It's a shame Kleber got hurt and this lineup was only given a marginally small, out of practice sample during the playoffs. I'm sure they would've leaned on it a lot in round 2 if he'd been healthy.
The silver lining of that was that Lively leveled up AGAIN during the playoffs. A little with each series, it seems.
