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.

  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.

    What do you mean didn't make them again with Nurk? Big difference (and I should possibly forgive Olshey for this), is we had to spend that money in 2016. Wasn't there a floor we had to hit?

    I'm there too. Even if we had Nurk, it's doubtful that we would win against OKC. We just can't overcome George. IMO, he's the MVP this year.

    This fucks my season win predictions up. Not happy. That said glad to be playing Utah over OKC. Plus its hard to see the Blazers lose even on purpose.

    For sitting players? If it bugs you, just write it off as a loss and turn it off.

    What a burn. Ok, troll. Nighty night. You're on ignore. Congrats. You're the 2nd person in 11 years I've put on ignore. I'm certain you're proud of it, as this is obviously the complex goal you drew up in your basement

    Seeing Skal and Simons light it up a bit is worth it.

    Turn it off? I'm at the game bruh.

    1 extra day of rest? Is it going to make THAT much of a difference that giving up the 3 seed is worth it? Really?

    Nice to know that with continued growth, they have the possibility of being contributors in the future.

    Utah has already been quoted as preferring us to be their 1st round opponent. We’re just giving them what they want.

    This is a wash, Den let us win a few days ago. They sat 3 starters then the other 2 weren’t allowed to play in the 4th. Even Steven in my book.

    I mean we didn't throw the bank at him. We signed him to a good deal.
