Anybody figure out what happened to Erick Dampier? He played like 7 minutes or something and his playing time is significantly decreasing over the last 5 games. Did changing the point guards have anything to do with this? It seems like Armstrong is the type of guy who should start over let's say Jason Terry, a guard who has some playmaking skills (at least compared to Flash Armstrong).
Im upset that Devin isnt starting anymore, have you noticed w/o him starting Dallas has struggled (not counting the injuries of Finley, Daniels and Dampier)
Me too I think he should be starting. I dont like how Armstrong is starting and playing mor minutes than Devin and Terry. I think should be coming of the bench.
