You can't use Maxiell getting over 20 minutes per game possibly being too much to excuse Afflalo often getting just 8 minutes per game, or less. Or Amir not getting played at all for much of the season. And maybe Maxiell is getting too many pregame drills. Maybe slacking off on that would give him more energy in the game. In any case, Maxiell, at his worst, still manages to help us win games by bringing energy into the games. One other thing, when I say play the bench more, I never make any kind of demands that an individual bench player get overplayed. Just that they get some steady minutes. Ten or fifteen per game, every game. More if they can handle it. If five bench players can't play enough minutes to keep your starters well rested, add a 6th bench player to the mix.
