I think you are wrong in your assumption, Mavs are still playing two SG. The only change that was made was to insert Burke (another SG) in line-up earlier to replace THJ. THJ than spent more time with the "bench" unit. Player that will have best day will finish each specific game. Mavs need elite shooting and Maxi/DFS doesn't provide that. Elite is not just high percentage but also ability to shoot a lot with limited space given allowed by defense.
While still extremely small sample, it wasn't a problem to play two SG. The problem was THJ played like crap in first two games.
