Should Yao and Tmac play significant minutes in the Utah Game?

I think they will play around 20 minutes in the first half and build a lead of 30 points and rest for the entire second half

 

Avoid injury at all cost!
Do not disclose any additional playoff stratergy!
Do not disclose any additional weakneses!
Keep players active and focused!
All decissions about playing or not playing must focus on consideration of the above matters.

 

Yao and TMac should not travel to Utah. Surely JVG and the Rockets would not be so stupid as to risk injury in a meaningless game. Rest your stars, play the scrubs. They never get to play and would enjoy it. As I recall, Yao broke his foot last year in one of the last games. He had no reason to be on the court. This is a no brainer, and if JVG does this and Yao or TMac gets hurt, no contract renewal for you!

 

NO,no and no!

 

This is going to be the best game EVER. Think about it:

Neither the Rockets nor the jazz have anything to play for. No seeding will change. Utah has broken that losing streak, and this is the ONLY chance both teams will get to rest their starters. That's a chance you HAVE to take. Plus, neither team wants to go all-out before the season series; you don't want to risk unnecessary injury nor give your first round opponent something to motivate them in the upcoming series.

Which means SCRUBS VS. SCRUBS.
Which means we'll hear, "Lucas kicks the ball out to Spanoulis..."
"Novak for 3..."

Oh man. I can't WAIT.
