A: First, it's working. At least when it comes to the win column. But I do see where you would want to get to him earlier, and perhaps more often. Still, I'm not sure I would bring Hassan back as a starter on Monday night against Brook Lopez, who has played well against the Heat. But I think it could be time during the three-game western swing. This early pattern of early fouls from Stoudemire has led to uneven starts for the Heat. I think the process would be easier for Spoelstra if he then could turn to Josh McRoberts as his first big man off the bench. But McRoberts has done little to inspire faith during his recent cameos, including Wednesday's start in San Antonio. Yes, the Heat had been winning with Stoudemire starting, but there mostly have been diminishing returns lately with the approach, save for the start of Friday's second half against the Magic. And it does seem like Hassan has stepped up his efforts to be more of a team player on both ends of the court, adjusting defensively in Friday's second half.
