I know it's easy to look in hindsight, but I and/or other people posted many of these comments earlier.

I would have given Stoudemire more minutes and Boozer fewer min. I think Amare's a better all around player and he played well when he was in the game.

Unless he's having back problems, I thought Emeka should have gone in whenever Duncan was in foul trouble because he's our second best center and a great shot blocker.

I thought Lebron should have gotten more minutes and Iverson and Wade slightly less. Lebron's size would have been really helpful at getting a hand in guards' faces while fighting through screens on the perimeter.

Marbury should have gotten slightly more min. He was the team's best player in the medal games and should have had as many minutes as Iverson ended up getting.

Marion probably should have gotten more minutes and RJ less minutes, although I didn't realize that until this game.

I think Brown's refusal to play the younger players really hurt us. Lebron was our best player at times and he definitely deserved to get over 20 minutes each game. I thought Marbury got enough minutes and he was our best scorer in the past 3 games. I agree that Amare probably should have gotten more minutes than Boozer because he is more of a low post threat and he can block some shots. I also agree that Okafor should have gotten more minutes at the Center position when Duncan was in foul trouble. I think Marion got enough minutes but I would've gave Jefferson less minutes and I would then give those minutes to Melo who was one of our best perimeter shooters.
