    No: Rest them, keep them fresh for the playoff and avoid unnecessary injury.

    Mac played so long in the last 5 games, almost 40 minutes per game. i think he need a rest.

    no!! I am THIS close to winning my fantasy league and any TMac contributions will kill me...today's game was brutal even though i was immensely happy. I hate that feeling!

    oh yeah, the Jazz are up to nooooo good, someone's getting injured for sure if Yao or TMac play.

    Yao is exhausted after such a fast pace game.

    Give him some rest is a better idea. :p

    if we don't play our starters, jazz won't be able to make adjustments before game 1.

    We should start Matt Maloney at PG. I hear he's still on the team's payroll.

    sit yao, sit tracy.

    i'm too scared about the injuries, especially since we are playing the dirty jazz.


    pg lucas
    sg span
    sf snyder unless bonzi wants to audition for a team next year.
    pf novak
    c jake t

    thats your lineup.

    shane and rafer and deke should play limited minutes.

    No. But JVG will play them 30+ minutes for whatever reasons. Guys don't forget, that's JVG.
