Dallas looks like they are totally out of synch. Detroit has some impressive guys on the bench. They need to play some of them like Affalo, Herrmann, Amir Johnson and Stuckey. Those guys can contribute solid minutes id given a chance to play. Johnson is averaging 3 rebounds a game which doesnt sound like much but he only averages 7 minuts a game. Stuckey is going to be solid and Herrmann, despite being funky looking is a really solid player who always plays hard.
