It is, and it's not ideal, but I think it's better than whatever alternative we have. If you put in Marion for Terry and make the lineup bigger and more traditional, I think we will seriously struggle to get half-court baskets in the final ~6 minutes of games. Ideally, we'd make as many situational substitutions in the final few minutes as we can.
It's sort of a moot point for me, though, because I don't think Roddy is going to be the kind of 4th quarter scorer we need. At least not this year. I think the lineup for closing playoff games will be Chandler-Nowitzki-Marion-Terry-Kidd. I don't think Chandler-Nowitzki-Marion-Roddy-Kidd is going to happen.
