Why have we gone away from the Brooks/Evans/Salmons combo? Isnt that the combination of players that got this team playing .500 basketball?

Look, Barea was the guy in that series. Not Kidd. Barea did the damage to Miami in a big way. Miami had no answer for him. Kidd was just a guy throwing the ball around the perimeter, whereas Barea was the guy consistently piercing through the Miami defense. He drove Miami nuts and anybody watching that series should have seen it.

Irrelevant. I didn't ask, "Who was the guy?" I asked, "Who was the point guard?" Whether Barea was "the guy" in The Finals or not is not germane to that question.

My favorite thing about the revisionist hero worship of Barea from that series is that he really only played well in 2 of the 6 games. The rest he was bad or average. You'd think he turned in a great series with the way people (not kingster in particular) talk about him.
