Save the drama for your …

We all know Avery Johnson wants to stick with one starting lineup through thick and thin. Injuries and suspensions have a way of screwing things up, but Saturday in the home opener against Sactown you’ll see the General’s preferred five-man tip-off group.

“Yeah, you already know what it is so there’s no drama attributed to it,” Johnson said. “Stackhouse will go back to the bench and Josh will start so there’s no real drama.

For the record it’ll be: Dirk Nowitzki, Josh Howard, Gana Diop, Devin Harris and Eddie Jones.
