We'll see.
Right now after last season, I'm pretty done with the notion of this pseudo starting 5. Just start your best 5 for now instead of purposefully putting your team in a deficit to start the game.
Of course it's way too early to say DJJ isn't apart of that best 5 and perhaps he does work well, but the Mavs looked pretty poor to start the game. And it was only until Lively, Green, and THJ came in till the Mavs started to have life and that pretty much told the story of the game to me.
