If Barea had been available, some chunk of Roddy's minutes in the 2nd would have gone to JJ.
Most likely the chunk where Roddy bothered a shot or two and got some steals. This was when the Mavs were beating back a run from Denver and sustaining the lead. Had JJ been in the game, he would've been stuck guarding JR Smith, who would've scored at will.
JJ is kryptonite against Denver, no question about it.
