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.

  9. No. Do not rest our players. The fans deserve to see our team play at full strength in the finale.

    I feel like Utah will destroy us in the paint but if Prick and PGs shooting is off we may win that series.

    Problem is, we will have to "bench up" at this point. Who's left? We gonna run this starting 5 into the ground?

    George is averaging 40 points or something against us, westbrook also very good against us.

    I don't recall, did we swap Biggie for Skal straight across or did we dump a 2nd as well? Either way. Skal is easily the better prospect, not even close

    Their FT shooting won't be off enough for us to win 4 games though.

    Meyers play is something only Ellie can defend.

    If Meyers couldn't shoot 3s we'd have dropped him years ago. I hope.
