Q. Should Pacers rest Paul and C.J. Miles more than the original timetables? Make sure they both are 100%. Also, the recent Al Jefferson is the man. Seemed to have played himself into shape.

But rather than let him try to gradually heal his ankle and back while playing, they have decided sit him out and let him get over it completely.
