David Blatt only played seven players in Game 4 before clearing the bench in the fourth quarter when the game became a blowout for the Golden State Warriors.

The Cleveland Cavaliers played eight in the first three games with Mike Miller getting a few minutes in Game 2 and Game 3.

With several players, LeBron James James and Matthew Dellavedova especially, looking worn down from the demands in the playoffs, players have begun to privately grumble that Blatt needs to use his whole roster.

There is a belief Blatt should give minutes to Mike Miller and Shawn Marion.

Several sources said Marion, who already has announced he'll retire following the season, is especially itching to get a chance. He's recently been bothered by a calf injury and also dealt with a hip injury in the regular season but is healthy and able to go.

When asked about the need to expand the rotation, LeBron James publicly yielded to Blatt after Game 4 but hinted it could help him and others get some more rest.

"That's the coach's decision if he decides he wants to go deeper in the bench," James said. "We haven't played many guys throughout this playoff run. I think it would help some of the guys that are playing some high minutes, for sure. Just give guys a couple minutes here, a couple minutes there. But I think the coaching staff will try to do what's best to help us be physically and mentally prepared for Sunday."
