Mchale needs to give more minutes to other players

as i was browsing clutchfans i got reminded that an 8man rotation is too much for this season. we have arguably the HARDEST dec/jan schedule (b2b2b followed by 5 b2bs) and havent had more than one day off since the 8th/9th. our next 2+ days off is feb 10/11.
everyone is burned out by the 4th quarter. no lift in the legs. yall saw sammy d dying for breath after that putback dunk last week.
need to give spot minutes for hill, bud, and twill. cant just bench them. they can still contribute and be productive. just give them spot minutes. put them on a short leash, or maybe play one of them every game, i dunno. but an 8man rotation in this season, with the schedule we have, is too much.
(btw after the 10th/11th they dont have 2+ days off till ALL STAR BREAK!!! 5 days off)

I'd like to see Tweeter and Morris get more minutes.
Is Morris up from McAllen yet?

While i agree I disagree with playing Hill, & Bud...
If anything I saw give Flynn some run, bring back Morris, and throw Thabeet in there, let him fill the lane or get his usual 3 fouls in a few minutes. 5-8 minutes each is all i ask to preserve our starters and 4th quarter ballers.

I want him to give Flynn more minutes tbh. Bud is playing like he can care less about playing. He's in a huge slump and it doesn't seem to get any better.

maybe flynn can get some burn for small ball lineups, but from what i've seen he cant do anything productive w/o cancelling it out by something stupid
bud isnt really slumping. the last game he played he got 5 rbs, no pts but only 12 minutes. game before that he had his usual numbers.
hill is always gonna be inconsistent but patterson cant be playing backup center after comiing off of surgery. plus he's too small.
when morris gets healthy definitely give him playing time.

at least he hasn't shown it at the games. He is usually smiling and cheering on his teammates. I would be frustrated too. This is his 3rd season and his 4th head coach. I don't think he's been given a real chance to prove himself.

I want to see Flynn get some minutes vs Rubio on Monday. Remember Minny picked Ricky 5th overall and then Flynn 6th overall.
