is everybody crazy-please sit isaiah

It depends on today's games.  If the Raptors lose, absolutely sit guys tomorrow.  If the bench guys beat Brooklyn (which isn't impossible), then you can see if Wednesday's game has a chance of mattering in terms of clinching the conference.

If the Raptors win, I'd play people tomorrow, clinch the two seed, and sit them Wednesday.

What if Cleveland loses against ATL? They have Miami and Toronto coming up as the last two games. The first place could still be obtainable if ATL manages to win again.

Knicks rookies cooperating thus far! Mid-3rd Q staying ahead of Knicks. It would be nice to be able to sit IT4 until  playoffs

If we play the starters tomorrow vs. Brooklyn to clinch the two, it's our backups vs. the Bucks backups for the one seed, in that case.  IT needs a day off.

resting them for 1 game makes sense. 

resting for both, I'd wait to see how Cleveland and Washington do before we play again.  We're 2 games up on Washington with 2 to play - want to secure #2 (not sure if we hold the tiebreaker --> if we do, then no problem here).  We're .5 games behind Cleveland for first.  sure we need to be ahead of them to get first but until Cleveland locks that up with another win, I'd play for it.

no need to beat Nets to secure their worst record so that's no longer a concern. 

At this point, it's the hope of getting back to the #1 seed that would be the only reason not to rest the starters.

This is not accurate. We're 3 games up on Washington, but only 2 up on Toronto. In addition, if we lose our 2 remaining games, while Toronto wins their 2 remaining ones, they would have the tie-breaker against us. So as it stands we can finish no worse than third, but still have an opportunity to get the #1 seed if the Cavs lose 2 out of their last 3 and we win out.

You're right.  I meant Toronto not Washington in the standings
