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.

    6.1%

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

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

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

    Also- Utah is one of the best teams post All Star break and OKC is one of the worst.

    I want us to play the team with the least amount of “SUPERSTARS” . Least amount of players the refs will give favorable calls to. I’ll take our chances with Utah.

    Because Its a 3 way tie. We got tiebreaker over Houston. But Houston has tiebreaker over Denver. But Denver has tiebreaker over Portland. So then you look at all 3 teams conference record. Portland has the worst conference record between Houston and Denver, so we would get 4th.

    Utah is the better first round matchup. The unfortunate thing is the corresponding second round matchup is much worse.

    Portland isn’t getting out of the second round either way, and let’s be real, getting out of the first would be an accomplishment and would probably save Terry’s job. I don’t think he’s safe if he doesn’t. Don’t think the Nurk injury is enough of an excuse to save him. He was almost fired last year.

    Bro stop thinking about golden State Please, i cant hear that shit anymore, After last years sweep we are not in the position to even think about Golden State, the first step has to be to win a Playoff game, or maybe a series, then later we can think about Golden State

    I don't think Denver is any more difficult than Utah in the playoffs, hell I think I might rather play them. They didn't even make the 8th seed last year, they beat teams due to depth and frantic pace of the regular season at mile high. They have been much worse post allstar break.

    It would be tough to make the WCF as the 3 seed, but its certainly possible. Against the Warriors I give us nearly zero chance.

    You may be right about Terry job security, I think thats a terrible way to manage a team though.
