Rozier 40
Tatum 39
Horford 39
Smart 33
Brown 31
Morris 25
Baynes 25
Semi 8

In the past Brad's rotation has always been highly questioned but not anymore.  All that's left to do is give Semis minutes to Morris and Brown (who was recovering from injury).

Not sure Monroe is gonna be a good match against CLE either.
Philly:

Anderson Varejao    Tiago Splitter    Matt Bonner
David West    Kenyon Martin    Brad Miller
Andre Iguodala    Josh Childress    Marquis Daniels
Dwyane Wade    Leandro Barbosa
Kirk Hinrich    Toney Douglas   + the legendary Kevin McHale

If Larkin is back that will change the rotation minutes a bit. So little depth is left on the bench, cbs doesn’t have many rotation choices to make.

Has any one heard any news on Larkin?

I like Semi getting more run to bang LeBron.

Morris was terrible game 5 but he'll be key vs CLE.

This is Smart's time to shine.

I'm not sure if you're kidding or not. Brad's rotation is what it is because our best players are injured and guys like Yabusele and Nader can't be depended upon. Of course guys like Rozier, Tatum, and Horford (and Brown) are going to be in the upper-30s in minutes played - we have no other players!

Horford can’t be used 40 minutes every game. I don’t think we can play Baynes even more against Cleveland than Philly, so we may see Monroe.

All the others are going to have to play big minutes. Rozier, Brown, Tatum, Smart, Morris, with some Semi.

He had no choice. I don’t like seeing Rozier’s minutes that high

Its because he does things that you don't agree with during the regular season, that you refer to as "questionable",  that the next man up mentality works, and furthermore these guys have the energy to go through an extended playoff run with extended minutes.

Brad is really cerebral, and there's methods to his madness. The decisions you refer to as "questionable", are more likely than not, "intentional." 

He's keeping his bench guys active and involved, and keeping his rotations guys fresh for a deep run.  And its this "intention", that gets us this far.

Nobody should be calling Brad's rotations "madness". The only reason people complain about them here is because they can't be pleased.
