I think the whole 'buring out the starters' thing is not an issue. Yes, it did appear that they burned out in 2006. I would attribute this to two things: 1) playing too many minutes during the regular season, and 2) having to play 4 on 5 on the offensive end. This year, Flip did an excellent job of resting his starters during the season while still winning almost 60 games. They should have no problem going 40+ minutes a night from here on out. Hopefully, we can take care of the Magic tomorrow so they can get some rest going into Boston/Cleveland. No need for burn-out worries this year. My only concern now is seeing Chauncey get back healthy.
