Future Rest 4 Tim/Manu

[spectator]

Even if this is a bit early, I wonder how Pop will manage his stars' minutes in the second half of March. With the rest from the MIN game, Tim & Manu prob. play tonight some good minutes. On the 16th, we play at Miami - and we prob. want to win that game badly, so I expect a full dose of minutes for everyone. If that is the case, does Pop rest Tim and/or Manu in the Orlando game?

I am inclined to say that he does, b/c his stars would play
13th - LAC
16th - MIA
19th - GS
and be semi-rested for the big push: 7 games in 11 days, featuring 2 away back-to-backs, and teams like ATL, OKC, LAL, CLE, and BOS.

I think Pop might be tempted to play Tim 35-40 minutes at ATL, and give him the night off against OKC.

What do you guys think?

I doubt Pop rests Tim for the OKC game. The Spurs are right on their heels in the standings.
