Yeah but here is my problem, the reason we have this deep of a bench is to have answers for guys like Nash, right? So why let him get into a groove plus us in foul trouble with guys we know can't stop him? Let's be creative, cause if Nash has fits the Mavs are done. He puts them into position.

The problem is that Nash is like Iverson, he's so damned quick there's nobody who can completely contain him (unless, of course, you are Tyronne Lue and the refs swallow their whistles). Daniels could probably do a better job, but then who do you bench? Pip? Uh uh. Anderson? DA has far better range and passing ability, which we really need.
Whenever you start talking about changing your starting lineup to battle one player (not named Shaq), it's the kind of gimmickry that has you adjusting to other teams instead of having other teams adjust to you.
DA has started almost the entire season. He's played a very important role in getting the success this teams has had. You can't just tell him he's not starting for this series because a lesser player defends Steve Nash better. Maybe with Playstation, but not in the real world.
