As for Pat's health, assuming he's actually able to play this weekend, he should play. Winning the #1 seed would get him roughly 3 times more rest than resting him this week. It seems to me if we want him to be as healthy as possible going into the playoffs, getting a bye would do it. Again, it's all about maximizing opportunity.

Yes, agreed.
