Limit their minutes. test bynum to see where he is at. Jackson recently said in an interview that fisher will see his minutes go down so he can get ready for p-offs. obv

i'm a big advocate of rhythm and staying in it, so the starters need to play but their minutes should be cut

I have wanted them to shut down the starters for the last 5 games. They shouldn't play at all.

I don't think they need to rest the starters much. There's plenty of time until the playoffs start, and ample time between games in the playoffs. What I would be in favor of is giving Utah a different look. Maybe start LO instead of Bynum so when we do see them in the playoffs Utah will have to adjust to playing against Bynum and Pau. I'd keep the offense pretty vanilla tonight too.

The offense doesn't have a plan. The triangle is just a system that runs based on the defensive look. We may try to exploit matchups but that's it.

Playing the Odom-Brown unit is a good idea most likely as is more time for Andrew.

PG- Brown
SG- Vujajic
SF- Walton
PF- Odom
C- Bynum

Should get heavy run.
