Cant hurt! Brewer is guranteed to play better D than Peja and can score more than 2pts in 3 games.


Barrea vs Roddy B is tough, but Roddy is a better shooter. Barrea cant get inside the Heat D anyway.

I think you'll see Brewer for Peja. At this point, it's worth the shot.

A move to Roddy is real desperation. I think Carlisle sticks with JJB.

bottom line is mavs have no number 2 option after dirker.... they can sub whoever they want but it will not help

Just give more minutes to your starters (especially Stevenson) and play more small lineups. Only put in Peja of Mike Miller OS in.

Wow. Let me get this straight. You want MORE Stevenson?

Yea, I do. He's competent defensively and you don't end up with Kidd or Terry guarding Wade. He has done a decent job this series hitting open shots, which is something Terry can't claim to at this point.

Gotta agree with Hotard. In previous series, I would cringe when Stevenson would spot up to shoot.

In the Finals when he gets an open 3, he knocks it down. That's something most of the other role players in this series can't say. It's truly bizarre that our defensive stoppers (Stevenson, Marion) are the only guys who have been dependable offensively aside from obviously Dirk, and occasionally Kidd.

I am against Roddy B. He is a turnover machine, and a turnover against Miami is a free 2 points.

I would be in favor of tweaking things in some of the manners suggested. However, I think Rick would have to have a very short leash on something like Roddy or Brewer.

I would love to see more Stevenson. He is shooting well. More important to me, he is shooting early. When he gets an open shot, he takes it. The Heat either have to account for him or take their poison. Other guys are shrinking away from the challenge. Mavs have passed up too many good shots, trying to get a perfect shot.

No interest in seeing Roddy. I thought Brewer would come in last night. He gave a great spark in Laker series offensively. I think he can prowl the baseline and get some easy buckets.

Yes to Brewer over Peja. No way to Roddy. JJ is fine when matched up on Bibby. He is neutralized by Super Nintendo Chalmers. Stevenson needs more mins at the 3.

It's a crying shame that no one else has commented on this.

If I was a Heat fan, I would definetly have a Super Nintendo Chalmers shirt. Someone has to have made one by now.

Giving either one significant minutes (or any minutes at all to Roddy) would be hitting the panic button too soon. Roddy is not ready. It would be ridiculous to expect anything from him at this point. Maybe give Brewer a short leash.

Listening to some people talk, you'd think Dallas has been blown out all 3 games. They need to keep doing what they've been doing FOR THE MOST PART, but:

-limit turnovers
-someone besides Dirk and Marion score
-keep rebounding

I agree with the guys above - need to give Stevenson more minutes - he is a solid defender and is shooting 3's much better than Peja right now. That would not be a drastic change from what they've been doing.

Well Hotard.... i'll gladly admit i'm an idiot

Hotard=nails

Coach must read Texags. He went with an extremely limited rotatation and put Stevenson on Wade.

Brewer and Roddy won't see the light of day in the playoffs for a while. Carlisle loves the experience factor and neither of them have it. Roddy is my favorite player on the Mavs because he is such a great athlete and it saddens me that he never gets playoff minutes.
