Great game against Cleveland except...

That game was a lot of fun to watch,  But I think Thibs needs to get acquainted with ROTATION.  I know he likes to stick with his starters, but I think he rode them too much.  The strength of the Bulls is in their depth.  And you can't utilize your depth when the reserves are sitting on the bench.  I always believe in the adage, "you dance with who brung you".  Miritich, Brooks, and Snell helped get us to where we are.  E'Twan helped a bit as well.  Brooks had 9 minutes, Miritich had 2, and Tony just sat the whole game.  Jimmy Butler was worn out from chasing LeBron all night.  Tony could've given him some rest so that Jimmy wouldn't have to log 44 minutes.  Kirk was in for 15 minutes, but I don't really support that decision.  Kirk is not the defender he used to be and still looks hesitant on offense.

The playoffs are a marathon, not a sprint.  You have more talent at your disposal- use it.  Please Tom, don't burn out your starters.
