Au contraire, that they play over Justin tells me the Mavs plan to take the rest of the season seriously. Kudos to RC.
Wasn't he one of your favorite players like two months ago?
Yes, and rightly so. Then the past two months happened. Don't know whether RC broke him or he broke himself, but he's broke.

The Mavs don’t seem to be solely focused on winning a championship, which is the only reason to even play this game, to win. Instead we do petty bs like start Courtney Lee, to make some sort of statement?? Lets say okay its fine to giveup this year, and try to contend next year. Then why start Lee!? Give young guys the minutes to develop them in what should be the last “tanking” (not trying to win a ring) season. Not a frikin vet who is last on the guard depth chart, and shouldn’t even be here because he should have been traded. Not bashing Lee, he seems like the utmost professional, but this is Rick Donnie and Cuban’s fault
Lee was not the problem, tbh.

if Luka is back, Kleber should start or WCS. And not those shitty undersized smaller lineups. Dwight injury killed that team, if WCS cant replace him.
When your 8-man playoff rotation consists of 5 guards, 1 wing, and 2 bigs, it's a form of insanity to expect anything other than small ball for much of the game.

Ah you see that's the problem. Rick would never do that if his life depended on it.
Kind of hard for him not to go small with the roster Donnie gave him. 8-man rotation of 5 guards, 1 wing, and 2 bigs. WTH is he supposed to do? I know he likes it, but why would Donnie think it was a good idea to give him a roster like that?
I have far, far more issue with him giving ***any minutes whatsoever*** to Justin than with playing small ball.
Oh, and good thing I'm not a betting man, right? I would have bet my house on the Mavs tonight. And I'd be homeless. This loss is on three Mavs: 1) KP, put your mask on and play like a man. 2) Seth - obviously not ready to come back. 3) RC - playing Justin for more than zero minutes and giving too much of a green light to Seth.
