If this team wants to have success in the later rounds of the playoffs, they can't have Rip trying to be the man as soon as Chauncey hits the bench. In this game he had 3 straight turnovers as soon as Chauncey went out, and single handedly gave Philly some life. Tayshaun is guilty as well, as he seems reluctant to keep the ball moving when it gets to him. From the outside looking in, some people will say the "inexperienced bench" came into the game, and let the game get out of control, but that couldn't be further from the truth IMO. Rasheed is really the only guy that plays within himself when he's in the game with the bench.

- The whole situation with Dice in the 3rd quarter was driving me crazy. When it is obvious he shouldn't be on the floor, I don't see why Flip keeps him out there. He got whacked in his face, couldn't see. The mask kept falling off, and he made about 5 bad plays in a row. In a blowout, I don't see why you keep him out there for any reason.
