I think I would too. I'm just a little afraid that Wade and Lebron are going to ring him up when he's out there, which probably makes this just about the worst matchup for him. Hopefully, Carlisle is very careful on where he puts Mahinmi in the game so that he minimizes this risk.
The plus side with Mahinmi is that I think he gives Miami more to worry about on the other side of the ball than Haywood ever could. So I think the Mavericks need to take advantage of that to offset his defensive deficiencies.
