?

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.

  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.

    I had to go look this up in the official NBA rule book, but apparently DEFENSE is allowed. Not sure if anyone told our team about that little known rule.

    Simons showing some serious garbage time ability. I think some of that can translate.

    Giving up 87 points at the half....well, offense comes easier than defense.

    Well this Kings team would be awesome, but they don’t give a flying fuck about defense. I can see why they didn’t make the playoffs.

    Old news. New news is he seemed to learn from those mistakes and didn't make them again with Nurk.

    well, if any player is capable of fouling out when the officials aren't blowing their whistles, it's Zach

    Why? You over most should know its a business and numbers.

    The math says rest the players and avoid okc. Win win in my book. And im not on the tank train.
    One game.
