Mavs 108, Rockets 133

KL, I do think we will see plenty of Luka-Jrich-THJ-DFS, but this is more a specialist lineup, when this suits the best what opponent we meet, for instance with two smaller wings, this willl suit great. There will be plenty of opportunities, and there will be teams we meet where this will be our best lineup indeed.

Ok, sweet, thanks for this clarification. We're in the same ballpark.

I think that where our thinking diverges is solely on Hardaway, then. 

I personally believe Carlisle is going to be desperate to find a way for Hardaway to close most games, regardless of the opponent. If it really ends up being true that the DFS as the biggest non-center lineup can't work against most teams, then to me, that means that Kleber's spot (or Powell's, maybe) will come at the expense of either DFS or Richardson. That's the problem I'm having.
