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

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

  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

  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

  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.

    12.2%

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

    I was so happy last year, celebrated 3rd seed and we all got a NW Division Champs shirt. This year I’ll celebrate when we at least win a playoff game.

    Also what if Denver loses to the Spurs? We would all be glad that we are the 3 seed if that happened.

    Won't happen. Nuggets are good at home and the Spurs are trash on the road. Spurs may have the playoff experience, but Nuggets have the way better shot to steal a road game over the Spurs.

    53 wins! Nice strong finish to the year. That's the way you head into the playoffs!

    I don't care who we face in the playoffs. We ended the regular season on a high note! Bring on OKC! Who's next?

    If he can try some new defensive and offensive strategies against OKC, then maybe yes.

    If you are talking about regular season games then yes, props to Olshey. Give him praise after playoff games.

    Although, didn't tonight give some pause about whether it's a good idea to play a lot of guys?
