I put no weight in the performances we saw today. The point was to rest players and get through 48 minutes with no injuries, and how anyone played was meaningless on the question of a playoff rotation.
We already know how the minutes will go, mostly, because their better players are already known. And (other than Kyrie and OMax), it looks like everyone will be full speed and available, as needed.
Usually the rotation gets shortened a lot, because after your top players get used 35-40 minutes each, and maybe even more, there's not so much left. However, I do think backup veteran players like Naji and Martin (and maybe even SD) will get more minutes than we might tend to predict, because the playoffs are a war.
