Should we rest our main rotation players for this game?

Poll closed Apr 10, 2019.

  1. Absolutely, our main guys need rest. And we need to avoid the possibility of injuries

    8 vote(s)
    16.3%

  2. Yes. We've already guaranteed HCA. It doesn't really make much difference between 3rd or 4th Seed

    11 vote(s)
    22.4%

  3. Yes. Although the 3rd Seed would be ideal, winning this game doesn't guarantee it.

    3 vote(s)
    6.1%

  4. Yes. We need to tank for the 4th Seed so we can play Utah

    3 vote(s)
    6.1%

  5. Yes. We need to tank for the 4th Seed so we can avoid OKC

  6. Yes. We need to tank for the 4th Seed so we can avoid San Antonio

    0 vote(s)

  7. No. Do not rest our players because the 3rd Seed is still in play.

    16 vote(s)
    32.7%

  8. No. We want to go into the Playoffs w/rhythm & momentum. We don't want our players being rusty.

    6 vote(s)
    12.2%

  9. No. Do not rest our players. The fans deserve to see our team play at full strength in the finale.

    I'm fine with resting the players. Maybe they can devote their energy to working in extra practice on what to do when dame is doubled or work on defense. Enjoying watching Simons. Enjoying the game.

    Oh shit that sucks lol. If it helps I voted in the poll that they should play everyone for the fans. I think I was about the only one. Although I would have pulled everyone they're currently benching by the 2nd quarter. I'd mostly worry about injuries and I'm happy to get to see Simons play extended minutes.

    nope

    the news is Olshey is great at signing bargain contracts when there's almost no cap-space in the league and it's a total buyer's market

    when there's plenty of cap-space league-wide and he has plenty of cap-space, he's a total idiot.

    I actually believe we’ll make a run at them in the 2nd half. Their shooting has been ridiculous and isn’t sustainable.

    Trent's shots/touch has to be pretty high.

    We've just been letting Bagley shoot uncontested jumpers.

    Agreed but we didn't need to spend money unlike 2016
