This makes sense within the context of one team. It's actually particularly true for the Mavericks. The five starting Mavericks are all in the top 20 for individual +/- and as a 5-man unit are tied for second in the league with the Heat but how is this possible? Don't 2nd unit guys play AGAINST 2nd unit guys? How do they lose points grounds to each other?
