Flip on the Free Throw Line

I don't want Flip taking 20 shots a game.

I don't want Flip to play more than 20 minutes a game.

I don't want Flip to be on the floor with Bibby.

I don't want Flip to guard anyone good.

I don't want Flip to influence our young players (especially Law).

I do, however, want Flip to be on the floor at the end of the game when we have a lead. The man does not feel pressure. I was comfortable having him at the free throw line on Wednesday against the Wizards to ice the game. To me, he's the equivalent of Sam Cassell the last couple of years. Too much confidence, which isn't a horrible thing when the game is on the line.
