Unless those extra few minutes are going to kill his productivity that much, I see no reason to keep him at 36.

In all honesty, I think you try and make things a little easier offensively on Dirk.. They're just trying to find someone that can step up and help out. JJB should have a good offensive series against this team, but he's not finishing at the rim and not hitting enough open jumpers. Carlisle is going with the options that he sees as best because the team really is a bit short handed offensively. When it doesn't work, it looks bad. If Barea would have hit a wide open layup and one more of his wide open threes, I suppose things would have worked out better. But again, he's one of the only guys that can get to the rim besides Dirk.
