He had 23 games to show his worth after missing the last 6 months and barely playing 3 months prior to that. And he is still injured.
Carlisle is going to roll with what got us here. He is gonna sink or swim with JJB/Terry/Peja.
I might start JJB in place of Steve. JJ did well in the early 3rd and you can run that staggered PnR when he is in. Marion gets the early substitution for Steve and backups Dirk.
The Mavs have to get James or Wade in foul trouble
