I am on the fence on this one. I could see how playing too much Thursday could impact Saturday's game this week. Playing too much on Saturday is not a big deal if you don't have a game coming up soon. The real question might be, how much energy and stamina comes back if you sit down for a few minutes during a game. My guess is, not much. It's probably more psychological to come out of the game for a few minutes than anything else.

Imagine an opponent who is not used to playing many minutes being forced to guard Delly or Rob for an entire game? That might freak some kids out... Once you become use to it, it probably doesn't matter because you might self adjust during the game. There was a prior post which mentioned that Delly seemed to be tired in the 2nd half but kicked it up near the end of the game. Delly might have learned to pace himself for an entire game, who knows.

Great post Dirt!
