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.
