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

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

    Twitter is blowing up on us about how weak and pathetic we are for tanking....I agree I would have taken 3rd seed......But the more i think about Playing OKC we better avoid them, because NBA does not have lebron in play offs bad for TV rating and MR tripple double crybaby is a super star and rating wise OKC would get pushed by the refs to advance because it has 2 stars vs Dame.....Rockets are in trouble cause Refs will go for OKC just watch

    We obviously want the Jazz over the Thunder. Sorry your game viewing experience is shitty but I think getting Utah is important enough to piss off a bunch of fans that are being short-sighted.

    I see no shame in this big picture. Big picture. Nothing wrong with that. And there are many levels to the big picture. Smart move. I love Twitter but mostly they can just suck a dick.

    I love this for the long view too. Sacramento wants to get to 40 wins badly. It would be a nice benchmark for them going into next season. So put the youngsters in there and play vs a team that is truly trying for something that matters to them, yet a game that matters very little to us. It's great. It's the right thing to do under the current circumstances

    I remember when I had season tickets and Travis Outlaw hit a late 3 that I believe gave us 41 wins and the rose garden was electric. This was at some point after Oden's injury. It all became a blur after that but I remember it being amazing. Sacramento wants that.

    What may be even more impressive about Simons play tonight than 25 points so far in a scrappy/sloppy game, is 8 assists/0 turnovers without getting one rest break. Impressive for a 19 year old.
