I constantly debate this issue in my mind, just because I like going through the mental gymnastics of how the team's roster should best be utilized.

I think valid arguments could be made to support any number of combinations in the starting lineup.

I prefer Bradley in the starting lineup. I think he prevents the other team from getting too many easy baskets early on, and he ensures that the Mavs compete on the boards early.

If you're going to start Jamison, I see two problems that have to be addressed:

1. How are you going to defend a tough post player?
2. How are you going to make sure that everybody gets going offensively?

If you can address those problems, I think the unit is otherwise good enough to get by against pretty much anybody. It's a pretty good rebounding unit and the offense is obviously there. Against certain perimeter players you may have to give fewer minutes to either Finley or Jamison and more to Howard or Delk, but those are the main problems that I see.
