    You start your best 5 players IMO and that means Reaves. We are too close to the playoffs to give minutes that aren’t earned to sub par shooters. We need consistency at this point in time.

    Way too. Many minutes your killing them before even passing the 1sr rd ad should. Not play 36mins I'd say 32/34 and LBJ should be in the 32-33 range ... Vando 28-30 seems about right less time for reeves at pg and more for shroeder at pg

    I don’t see Vando as a 4, that’s Lebron’s position. So something like this come playoffs:

    DLo (20) / Schroeder (28)
    Reaves (32) / DLo (16)
    Vando (30) / Troy (18)
    Lebron (36) / Rui (12)
    AD (36) / Gabriel (12)

    We may even cut one of Troy or Rui depending on the run in now. Ideally you’d want an 8 man rotation, your starting 5 plus an extra guard, wing and big. If Beasley is gonna break into the rotation he is going to need to hit some shots over the next 4 games.
