Look I like Barea and defended him earlier in the year when people were shredding him.
But he's obviously regressed in a serious and dramatic way from what he was even earlier in the year.
For about a month now the guy has consistently stepped on the court and brought NOTHING. Every time he runs the point the Mavs lose ground against whoever they're playing. Every single time.
Even the things he used to do well he now seems incapable of doing.
Meanwhile, on the bench, we have another backup point guard who, at least 50% of the time completely changes the course and tone of the game when he steps on the court.
And THAT PG we give a DNP (even during garbage time) to play the guy who hasn't had a good game in a month, and even when he did have good games was still a total defensive liability who couldn't do half the things the DNP guy can.
It makes no sense.
