I was just thinking about the consequences of closing out the season with a very large winning streak, vs. resting up the star players.

If the Nets go on a huge winning streak they could possibly pass the Heat for the 2nd seed in the East. Also if they carry that momentum into the playoffs they could do some damage. I care less about individual acheivements, but Coach Lawrence Frank might win COY if he closes out with a 20+ game winning streak. The same goes to Kidd/Carter for MVP chances.

BUT, if they waste all of that energy like they did last year, they might be worn out come playoff time. Getting the 2nd place spot this year is probably equivalent to trying to get the 8th seed last year. We would probably tie Miami at best and only win out because we won the season series.

Then again, our first round match up will be alot easier than last years.

Overall, I think everything depends on how Miami plays. If they continue stuggling we should go for 2nd place, but if they do good than we should just give up and rest for the playoffs.
