I agree with you on that - and I personally would prefer to leave a hot shooter in there, but I do remember Phil Jackson did the same thing - His explanation was that if you leave him in there too long, the others will get cold and out of rythem and it would do more harm then good - He liked to keep the rotations as consistent is possible - In the playoffs, however I am now inclined it should be the same - a team with a limited bench is going to put heavier minutes on the starters or hottest players if they want to win - IMO
Unfortunately for Cleveland, their perimeter shooters are Love, Korver and Smith. Love plays a different role than the other two. So really it comes down Korver or Smith.
