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.

    This is just an odd end to the season.

    Hey, way I look at it is we have home court. The difference between OKC and us is razor thing, but they won all four games head to head this season, so the law of averages has to even out. We're due.

    He's listed as 6'4"

    But he looks bigger than that to me (possibly because of his hair).

    This series is going to be chippy as hell. Should be fun. Too bad Nurk won’t be out there to troll Westbrook.

    I think we’ll get 1 but it’ll be another 1st round exit I feel bad for Dame he’s starting to develop that reputation nationally.

    Billy Donovan vs Terry should be a wash. Maybe even advantage Terry.

    Not so with Quinn Snyder

    I don't know why people were so keen on Utah. Rubio is a legit defender as is Mitchell.
    With gobert waiting in the paint and good help defenders on the wings. Seems like Utah would be very similar to pelicans last year.
    Westbrick don't play defense and the thunder gamble a lot on that end.
    Adams can't stop Lillard from getting to the rim like gobert could.

    53 wins? Amazing season. 20 more wins than ESPN predicted. Does Stotts get coach of the year?
