?

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 prefer them over the Jazz. Jazz play team ball and defense especially with Gobert down low. Yes we lost to OKC all games this season, but they were close. We also beat them all 4 last year. Utah owned us twice. Westbrook is going to shoot a lot and that usually leads to good results for us.

    Yup, that's definitely preferable than seeing the Warriors in the 2nd round.

    Adams came back into the game... George would have played if it was the playoffs... They're fine. Nurk is not and we got swept with him.

    Holy fucking shit. How can we possibly intentionally tank more than we have already? I give the team props if they don't really care and are up for anything but I really don't want to face George and Wesbrook god damnit. Not yet.

    it’s embarrassing that people would be afraid to play a team. These players and coaches aren’t afraid I hope. Bring it on. They got home court advantage. If they can’t beat OKC they aren’t doing much anyway.

    So who is the last 19 year old in their first NBA start who had 37 points and 9 assists?
