Heat's Amar'e Stoudemire: Doesn't play in Game 6 win

Stoudemire (coach's decision) didn't play in Friday's 103-91 Game 6 win over the Raptors.

Analysis:

The writing was on the wall for Stoudemire to fall out of the rotation when he was sent to the bench for Game 6 after starting the previous two games. Though the Heat are thin in the frontcourt with Chris Bosh (blood clots) out for the postseason and Hassan Whiteside (knee) possibly in line for a similar fate, it appears coach Erik Spoelstra is content to lean on the small-ball lineups that were successful in Friday's win.
