NBA Finals 2011: DeShawn Stevenson the Surprising Secret to Dallas' Bench?
Despite saying some pretty ridiculous things about the Miami Heat after Game 3, DeShawn Stevenson is making a positive impact in Game 4.
I was surprised to see JJ Barea start over Stevenson. As the game has played on, the decision has proved to make a lot of sense.
Stevenson has given the bench a boost defensively, using his own personal vendetta against LeBron James as fuel for tight defense, but he has also hit open threes that no one on the bench, besides Jason Terry, has been able to do.
It's tough to find minutes for Stevenson, because Terry is a better offensive guy and Shawn Marion is better defensively. However, when Stevenson is shooting the way he is tonight, Carlisle has to find ways to keep him on the floor.
