Momentum vs. Rest
Today or soon the Clippers will clinch a playoff berth. Soon they might clinch at least the 6th spot. When that happens, what do you do. Do you start to rest some of the guys for the playoffs (not bench them, but limit their minutes), such as Brand and Mobley especially who seem to be tired and not hitting shots they used to? Cassell who is old? Kaman to give Rebraca, Baker, and ndong time to see who needs to be on the playoff roster?
OR
Do you go for a push to get the "momentum" to start the playoffs...play everyone the same even if it might not make a difference in the standings or seedings, just to be able to have "good vibes" going into the first round?
Ive heard both arguments, just wondering what you guys think.
Personally, im not sure. Some Clippers obviously need some rest...then again, we dont want to go into the playoffs loosing 3 of 4 or something like that.
