Lets talk about the Rockets rotation in the playoffs

All this talk about how we have 9 great guys and this is the deepest bench we've had since Harden's arrival, surprise surprise, when the Playoffs come, Mike Dan Tony is shrinking his rotation again.

Rivers and Mclemore, whom both played significant roles for us in the regular season, combined for 23 minutes and the other 6 guys all played 30+. Mclemore in particular provided instant offense that helped sustain our scoring when Harden hits the bench. Without any scoring punch off the bench, Mike Dan Tony is forced to play Harden 40+ minute. And we all know what that does to his efficiency.

PJ Tucker is old as sin, he doesn't need to play 38 minutes in an intense playoff game. When Westbrook returns and assuming he's fully healthy, he's gonna play 35+ minute or more. Are we just gonna play 7 guys because he's just gonna take all of Rivers and Bmac's minutes(and some from House)? Is Mike running his vets into the ground again?
