?

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

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

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

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

    since is the last game of the regular season, I'm going to commemorate the night by pouring a big-gulp sized vodka-7. And none of this 2 finger-3 finger weenie gauge for the vodak, I have 8 fingers and two thumbs...if I'm counting correctly. And I may not be capable of counting by halftime. But I still will be able to post incoherently like everybody else here

    Assuming DEN wins, it's either OKC or Utah.

    Win, and we get OKC and #3.
    Lose, and we get Utah and #4.

    If DEN loses, we get Utah and #4 regardless of how we do in this game

    Since OKC won, how about this outcome to make everyone happy:

    Blazers win their 53rd game and show they don't give a fuck who they face in the playoffs.

    Nuggets lose to the Wolves and we can say we tied for the 2nd best record in the West but still are the 4th seed and play the Jazz.

    Everyone happy with that?

    I don't wanna play OKC.
    That's all I got.

    If this lineup is real, looks like we don't either.

    I still think OKC is a better matchup than Utah

    LMAO, that's the biggest White Flag I've ever seen. Stotts can claim he's resting players.....but we know. We know we don't want none of OKC.

    Meh. Go Blazers. Gonna be fun to see what the rookies and scrubs have tonight. I'm very interested to see what Labissiere brings to the table.

    I'm hoping they play well.....in a loss.

    This is why I'm even watching tonight, honestly. I wanted to see the youngsters. Not too concerned about seeding (for negative reasons so I'll just shut up about that)

    Good God you're really tanking when Collins doesn't even see the floor as a starter (and I love him, just sayin')
