People talk about he Luka affect and that’s the only thing that makes THJ playable at times. I expect the Mavs get the best of an already better than Timmy, T. Ross.
Hardy may not be ready for playoff minutes and we know Timmy can shoot you out of a game so if/when Timmy goes 1-8 to start the game, Kidd has a veteran (imo better) alternative to go to rather than just keeping Timmy out there for 35 minutes on one of his off nights.
I would love for both THJ and Ross to get around 15 minutes each, where they can both be most effective and whoever is hitting that night can play a bit more.
