re: With the Heat's loss tonight, the Pacers have clinched the tiebreaker over Miami

Heat don't really care where they end up. They continue to rest people every game and LeBron has played less minutes than lastyear and the second fewest minutes of his entire career, including his rookie season.

The Heat essentially know they will beat whoever they play if they are healthy, so that is all they care about. They will be a bit rusty once their entire lineup is in (including wade) and they will use the first round to work out the kinks and get better as the playoffs go on, especially considering fatigue won't be a factor. It is a logical smart plan by the heat imo.
