Barea and Mavs shoot down Kings 123-102

Eddie Jones told JJ Barea that he had Tony Romo money coming his way. Barea just laughed.

There were plenty of smiles to go around Saturday night.

In the town that practically invented quarterback controversies, the Mavericks and their fans sure had some fun watching Barea fill in for injured point guard Devin Harris in the home-opening 123-102 romp over Sacramento.

“He earned his money,” Jason Terry said of Barea.

When the pint-sized Puerto Rican checked out early in the fourth quarter with leg cramps, a standing ovation followed. After scoring a career-high 25 and handing out five assists, it was easy to see why the sellout American Airlines Center crowd of 20,343 shared the love.

Dallas coach Avery Johnson chuckled when asked about the “point-guard controversy” after the game.

“He did some nice things out there,” Johnson said, carefully choosing his words. “We’ll see where it goes from here.”

I've been telling my friends that Barea is lights out, and they didn't believe me. I watched him play during the summer league and was impressed by his skill level.

The Mavs have a deeper bench that most people realized!

After seeing his interviews last night with Laura Green and Derek Harper and Gina Miller, I gotta say he seems like a great guy, had me smiling the whole time. Next big coming-out party has gotta be Bass though, that guy is a beast.
