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.

    I don't know, but the TV just told me that Anfernee's 37 points matches the most scored by a first-time starter in the NBA since 1985-86.

    What i watched was the entire Blazer team not give a damn about tanking and pulling for a win no matter what. THAT IS MY BLAZERS!

    Now go take care of business against the Thunder!

    Big ups to @TorturedBlazerFan for bringing my wife and me to the game. Great time, great company, amazing second half. What a way to finish the regular season!

    Not sure about 'their first start', but here's a list of 19 year-olds that scored 37 or more points:

    upload_2019-4-10_22-34-48.png

    Only 5 different 19 year-olds have scored 37 or more points. Cliff Robinson (not the Blazers Uncle Cliffy), LeBron, Durant, Carmelo, and now Simons.

    That's good company Simons has there.

    How can we beat OKC when they swept us with a healthy Nurk?

    We have nothing to lose, no one expects us to win, pressure is on them. Me thinks pressure and Westprick don’t go together very well.

    It was really fucking loud. Best games of the year: opening night, Dame's 10 threes, Jake's 20 point quarter, and tonight

    Great question. I think there's a record there somewhere.

    Honestly wouldn't be surprised. The only surprising thing would be LA being a key-player getting his team past the first round. But DEN? They aren't as good as their record. If they had drawn OKC in the 1st I would have (I actually wouldn't, because I don't bet) put money on OKC knocking them out.

    I mean, he can take all of both Turner's and Curry's minutes. Curry can't pass, and Turner can't shoot - apparently Simons can do both!

    OKC sucks. Relax

    The regular season head to head doesn’t mean much
