A: No way and no need. First, there remains a limitation on the minutes that can be expected out of Amar'e Stoudemire at this stage of his career. In fact, after this string of starts, I think the Heat might want to give him some time off. And I also could see the Heat giving Amar'e time off before the playoffs. Beyond that, I think you would lose Hassan as a player if you made him play off the bench on a regular basis. I'm certain he would view that as a demotion. I'll be curious to see how Erik Spoelstra approach Friday in Charlotte, which also is the area where Hassan was raised. He has spent years working to become an NBA starter. Send him to the bench, and you could send him into a funk. Now, utilizing him off the bench for another game or two certainly could be within reason, especially if there is a concern about foul trouble, which did become an issue with Hassan wind up with five fouls in 17:21 in Wednesday night's victory in Dallas.
