He didn't even get an entire minute in the Hawks game

He didn't even get an entire minute in the Hawks game.And while he started the Grizz game, he only logged 21 minutes even though he was clearly on a roll. He showed us a pretty midrange jumper, as well as hitting a three.In fact, during the Grizzlies game, he was the only starter not to have a negative plus-minus, in that his was zero.Beaubois on Mayo would have been a great matchup just to see how the rook did, because a combo guard like Mayo (or Dwyane Wade or Brandon Roy) is the type of guard Beaubois is going to need to guard when he's a regular player.I get that Carlisle is playing it tight with Beaubois, limiting his exposure and even toying with sending him to the D-League, but come on.It was a terrible game. The Mavericks scored their second-lowest total (the worst was the following night against Atlanta) of the season, so why not let the kid loose and see what he can doWe already know he's an energy player that can create for himself in the half court set, and for others as well as himself on the fast break, so let him do his thing.All in all, a disappointing weekend for the Mavs faithful, but all isn't lost. The Mavericks need to learn from this slap in the face.It's a pretty steep learning curve with games against Phoenix and at Miami coming up. If the Mavs can't drop 100 on Phoenix, then we're all in trouble, and it will beinteresting to see what they can do against Miami, a team that likes to control the pace of games with their defense.Until then, I know I'll be sitting next to the panic button Not pushing it, but very close by, just in case....
