Done deal only because Carlisle won't play Vaughn.

Playing Antoine Wright is basically going 4 on 5 at both ends of the court.

Jee lets call out Wright on a night where Dirk/J-Ho/Terry shoot awful.

But to answer your question, because there are no better options unless we up the minutes for Barea/Terry/Kidd.

Which may not be a bad idea.

because of his lack of offense, teams can help off Wright and focus more on Dirk/Terry...teams arent stupid, they know Wright is "pure garbage"

He has played well for us this season. I hope he keeps it up, I believe the series hinges on the Tony Parker stopper.

He's got to be the worst designated "lockdown defender" and "3 pt specialist" in the league.

Not really. I would label him the second worst. The problem is that the actual worst is also on your bench: Dick Breath.

Sad when two of those guys are on the same team.

I don't know, Dick Breath isn't looking so bad compared to how Antoina has been playing.

Nobody ever called Antoine a 3-PT specialist.

Quit shittin on a guy because the Mavs FO put him in position to fail.

He is not starting 2 guard or Parker stopper, he's an 8th or 9th guy off bench.

He played well in game 1 :)

Matt Bricks is way worse.

I've heard him called that a lot. Donnie Nelson and Steve Kerr are similar with their hilariously wrong and homeristic player evaluations. I remember when Kerr said Barnes plays "Marion-like defense" and Richardson "Can be a lockdown defender".
