As far as yesterday goes, we have to admit Miami just had a really hot shooting night. They were hitting shots from all over the floor. Also, despite not a stellar Luka night, starters were just fine. They might not be a great defensive unit, but they are one of the best offensive ones. Three starters had a positive +-, while THJ and DFS had a negative one mostly because they were part of that miserable 4th quarter unit. The problems occured when bench guys were on the floor without Luka and KP. Biggest dissapointment was their bad defense, especially Wright, who was just killed by Dragic. Barea was also really bad playmaker in this stretch, but Mavs basically don't have any other option with Brunson out.
I am not really sure throwing MKG in the starting unit instead of Curry would solve problems of the bench. Afterall, THJ was playing in that unit. Sure, I would give it a go. Perhaps Brunson and WCS will bring enough on the table for the bench.
While DFS might not be best option, we have to be aware that an upgrade will be very difficult to get. On most nights he is giving his best on defense while being solid on offense.
