?

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.

    Actually, I'd be okay with that. Start the scrubs and rookies, then when the opposition is tired, put in our starting lineup and watch them go ape shit.

    I know, I know....it doesn't work like that in real life, but still......

    Simons is so strange to me. He's so young and slight but fuckin' A that dude is twitchy fast as fuck and has explosive athleticism as well. He just pops off the screen to me.

    That was literally the dumbest foul I've ever seen Nards commit.
    Puts himself in position to contest at the rim. Instead reaches and gets all arm. Great job nards

    Are we sure we match up better with Utah than OKC?

    Thank you sacramento. I feel dirty to root for the opponent, but it is necessary

    Meyers drives me crazy. He's got to be the only guy in the league that consistently jumps to contest a shot after it's already been released. Half the time he crashes into the shooter.
