Absolutely. This is a must win.

we were all really down on them after game 4 vs orlando and they won that.  they can win this too.

Should Paul Reed start over Duren? I know he won't, but should he?

[Deleterious]

You don't need to start Reed.  But he has earned minutes in the rotation for sure, and sitting the first half again is not an option.  

I would have a quick hook for Duren though.  If Duren struggles in the 1st quarter then Reed gets the bulk of the minutes and possibly starts the 2nd half.

I tend to agree whoever wins game 5 wins the series.  But I wouldn’t be surprised to see the opposite occur.  I guess the only thing that would surprise me is 3 lopsided games to finish this series out.
