Boston/Dallas Depth Charts

[UC_Baller]

Every time a trade takes place, it means new lineups. I'm just guessing here:

<font color="blue">DALLAS MAVERICKS</font>

<font color="blue">Point Guard: (Starter, S. Nash), T. Delk, T. Best, M. Daniels</font>

<font color="blue">Shooting Guard: (Starter, M. Finley), T. Abdul-Wahad, J. Stefansson</font>

<font color="blue">Small Forward: (Starter, A. Jamison), J. Howard</font>

<font color="blue">Point Forward: (Starter, A. Walker), E. Najera</font>

<font color="blue">Point/Power Center: (Starter, D. Nowitzki), D. Fortson, S. Bradley</font>


<font color="green">BOSTON CELTICS</font>

<font color="green">Point Guard: (Starter, M. James), M. Banks</font>

<font color="green">Shooting Guard: (Starter, P. Pierce), E. Williams</font>

<font color="green">Small Forward: (Starter, W. McCarty), K. Brown</font>

<font color="green">Power Forward: (Starter, T. Battie), J. Jones, B. Hunter</font>

<font color="green">Center: (Starter, R. LaFrentz), V. Baker, M. Blount, K. Perkins</font>

Your guesses would be correct, except I think Banks is gonna be starting PG for the Celts.

Welsch is now the backup SG. And I think Vinny could start.

Im thinking Ainge has something in minde with E-Will, Blount and McCarty

Did they say Dirk would be starting C?

No, I was just guessing. He is 7'0" tall afterall and the Mavs like to run. What team could run with a lineup of Nash, Finley, Jamison, Walker, and Nowitzki? Only the Kings in my mind, but everyone else would have trouble.

Re: Boston/Dallas Depth Charts

the Mavs' rotation will probably look something like this:

PG: Nash, Best, Delk, Daniels, Walker
SG: Finley, Jamison, Delk, Daniels, Howard, Walker
SF: Walker, Jamison, Finley, Najera, Dirk, Howard
PF: Dirk, Walker, Najera, Fortson, Jamison
C: Fortson, Bradley, Dirk, Najera

key backups/role players: Travis Best (first PG off bench), Delk (can play 1 or 2), Najera (can play either forward and center and gives huge energy boost), Bradley (defensive specialist), Fortson (when not starting brings good defense relief off of the bench), Jamison (could win 6th man of the year), and Howard (rookie with energy) - The role players will be huge, and Nellie has all kinds of matchup possibilities with those guys.

Of course, Nellie uses a different starting lineup just about every week, but the rotation will look something like the one above. He will move people around.

You should expect him to use Dirk at center often. With Nash, Fin, Jamison, 'Toine, and Dirk grabbing rebounds and taking off - the Mavs will have one hell of a fast break. Expect that lineup (with Dirk at center and both Jamison and Walker in there together) to be the lineup that Dallas closes games with.
