RE: Injuries force Mavs' Nelson to mix and match

Or not...seeing as the Mavs are +20 per 48 minutes with Dirk playing at the 5 this year. Still, I'd prefer to use it as a change-up rather than in the starting lineup. Beyond that, this writer's a bit of a moron. In his preview of the game he talked of Devin Harris filling in for "injured starter Jason Terry". And nowhere in this article is there a quote saying that Nellie will start Dirk at the 5. That's not to say he won't. It's just that it's a little silly for everyone to start freaking out about a lineup that's been pretty successful this year despite its unorthodoxy when the source of your frustrations is an article that provides absolutely no information whatsoever regarding what Nellie plans to do.
