Think of it this way. If Stuckey needs all this time to get ready for the playoffs, then how about Afflalo and Amir? Seems they could use some time playing to get ready for the playoffs.

Here is a very simple fact. All we have to do is cut down on Rip's minutes to get Afflalo time to play. It ain't rocket science or anything. Flip's excuses are amusing, but of no substance whatsoever.

Saunders said that for now, Arron Afflalo would be out of the rotation.
"After talking to Joe (Dumars ), we decided to shorten our bench somewhat to facilitate Stuckey," Saunders said. "We want to get him out there with more of our main guys to try and help him out."
That's how it went, I guess, at least that's what media is reporting.
