Here is what is important for this game:

Unlike last game, Afflalo is not cut out of the initial sub rotation.

Unlike last game, Amir is not cut out of the 2nd half rotation.

We need not one single hint that Flip Saunders is reverting.

We are on the road to a championship, lets not let Flip put up a roadblock.

Looking past the Miami game, we have some tough opponents coming up, more excuses for Flip to revert.

Here is what should be done:

The next 10 games, Amir, Stuckey, and Afflalo should each get 25 minutes, while Maxy gets 15. And Really, Samb should be getting 5 minutes per game.

And Herrmann should get 12 minutes per game. Bench Hayes for a spell, it won't hurt him any at all.

Keep Dyess down under 26 minutes per game. Keep the rest of our starters to under 30 minutes per game.

Now is always a good time to start. The last five games have been nice. A good start toward playoff preparation. We do not need to get as drastic as I am stating in this post, but it would be a good idea, just to counter Flip's tendencies to find excuses (in his mind only do they make sense) not to play a full 10 man rotation featuring our young players.
