My opinion is that Pop wants to be able to rest TP, but isn't ready to give up on the top seed, he can't risk sitting TP, and leaving the team in the hands of Patty and Ray. With Miller on the team I get the feeling once he gets in we will see more TP DNP rest games. That is an important thing. If it becomes obvious that we can't catch the Dubs, yet we still don't want to risk the #2 seed Andre Miller starting with a Patty backup insures we win more than we lose down the stretch. I am not giving up on #1 seed yet, especially if we easily handle the Dubs in San Antonio, because then having HCA over the Dubs will be huge. Otherwise getting all the players all the rest they need but keeping them from getting rusty will be the number one priority IF HCA is off the table.
