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.

    Oh I won't know the outcome before I sit down to watch. I always stay away from social media if I plan on watching a game later. There are some events, like a Timbers game or Ducks football game that I'll watch even if I happen to have heard what happened.

    Was it an acquired taste for you as life got busier?
    Or was it just something that really never bothered you to watch recorded games?

    Ya, I think because I am always working sports, I never actually watch anything in a "group", besides the wife and kids. If you notice I never post in the game threads. If we are on the road, the team will have viewing parties. Like for the Super Bowl, or the other day with the NCAA Championship. Thats the only time I watch anything with other people.

    I thought you stayed away from game threads because its, (wow how do I say this gently) a little emotional at times...

    Until you've worked behind the scenes at sporting events, you don't really know what it's like to watch the entire thing and see little of it. Re-watching later is the only way to take it all in.

    Now with technology it's obviously easier to record and watch later. But when I was a kid, I'd record almost every NBA game that they aired. Back then it was only Blazer games and CBS/NBC/TBS games. So a handful a week. I'd set the VCR up to record games. Even if I was watching. At low quality, you could get 3 NBA games on one tape. I'd label the tapes, then throw them on my parents bookshelf. Watch them again in the summer. I have always been a hoop junkie. My mom recently brought over a huge moving box full of the tapes from her garage and they are now in mine. Eventually transferring them to MP4s and keeping them on a drive.
    Was just looking at them the other day with my son.....some great old Lakers vs Sixers and Celtics battles of the mid 80s. And all the Bulls runs. Plus TONS of old school Blazer games from the 80s and 90s.
    So I guess sitting down and watching a recorded game for me is no big deal.

    If I didn't do what I did, I'm quite sure I wouldn't check out game threads anyway. Too many bi-polar nut jobs in here. Trade CJ one minute, he should be in the hall of fame the next. Fire Stotts at halftime, by the end of the 4th he should be coach of the year!

    Well I love watching “old” games, even just a season back or two, I can do that. Watching 80’s basketball the ball movement back then was so awesome to watch. Its more like the experience changes for me when its the “current” thing.

    I love the suspense of knowing the rest of the game hasnt happened yet, and that I'm watching something as it develops. Could never record games and be into it the same way.

    But when you watch them recorded, isn't it the exact same situation? You don't know what has happened yet or what will develop.

    Tunchi thought he was slick with his avatar picture but his twitter was also a pic of Tupac. It's like he's just flaunting being here still now.
