Maybe I'm misunderstanding the point you all are making, but I don't see how you can compare these two games and come up with the same old same old about how everyone else plays their bench except Flip.
I may have overblown it a bit, but it is not just the minutes, its when to play the bench. In other words, when your bench was hot like they were in the second qtr, why take them all out because you got the big lead. See if they can extend it and if your starters come out flat to begin the 3rd, pull them early and get the guys who are in synch back in there.
