Should Greg Gard change the starting lineup?

It’s one of the few things that the average fan can bitch regularly about: the starting lineup. It is announced before every game on Twitter with a fancy graphic, people keep track of who is starting, there’s an award for the best player coming off the bench so you know you must be pretty good if you’re ahead of that guy and in The Starting Five.

However, a fairly logical and decent argument is to be made that the five players on the court to end the game are far more important than the five who are on the court to start it.
