Flip partially listened to me

I agree with most of the points above.

Good job sticking with Max/Amir when Sheed/Dice obviously partied too much the night before. Also Max really does look different next to Amir or Sheed. Dice is a fantastic rebounder, but his defense has been lacking for quite some time. If Theo ends up demanding rotation time, Dice should get his minutes cut. He is much more effective when he plays less.

I'm annoyed about Tay's min especially since we play BOS tommorrow. Note to Flip. THIS IS SEATTLE. We don't need Tay playing 38 min against Seattle. Hermann was again used at PF. I wonder if he'll ever be used at back-up SF. It's unlikely Tay gets major rest tommorrow, and if he does i fully expect PP to hang 25 on Hayes in 10 min.

Also, i knew after Juan Dixon's scoring outburts Flip would play him over Afflalo which is stupid b/c like stated above Afflalo's defense is exceptional. Dixon lost his man coming off a screen which led to a easy basket when Max tried to help, And then got picked off giving Watson a open look. He did force a travel while employing a trap with Billups, but mostly it looked like alot of activity with little result. Afflalo's got major height on him as well, better passing ability, and he's better at running the fastbreak. Afflalo can also shoot 1-3.

We'll see tommorrow who takes the back-up SG minutes. I don't think i want to see Dixon guarding Ray Allen.

Rip definately tried to win this by himself, but he did hit some clutch shots at the end (while simaltaneously getting burned on defense by KD).

Stuckey was effective. Amir was great. I expect a big game from Sheed tommorrow. Hopefully Flip plays the best suited players against BOS, and doesn't get conservative which is what lost our last game against them.
