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.

  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.

    What if you believe that everything in life is predetermined ?

    Surely you at the very least realize that you're massively in the minority in this one. I mean, there's a reason that Dame's most recent commercial is about Hulu having "LIVE" sports.

    I agree with HCP. I think I'd even rather watch replays than live to be able to skip through all the dead times

    If you avoid the news then watching it later is still like watching it live. With exception if forum friends snd others you cant converse with. Out it.

    Im still on the edge of my couch watching though.

    Just cause one records it, doesn't mean its to just skim over.

    I like to record, then start watching about 30-45 minutes in. Gives me all the benefit of skipping over the dead time, but then I catch up to live TV somewhere in the 4th quarter. Best of all worlds, IMO.

    I think a lot of people record games, and its perfectly ok just not how I personally enjoy it.

    With how busy your life is what happens if you can't watch a game? Knowing I can watch a game later if I'm doing something with the kids or at work is great in my opinion. Sure, I'd rather watch it live (especially the playoffs) but watching some regular season games on delay isn't a big deal at all. I almost always am able to avoid knowing the score so it's still a good experience. Because of the DVR I was able to watch every game this year with the exception of the first game we lost at Minnesota. I was at a restaurant and there was a TV right by our table with the game on that was impossible to not look at. So I saw about 1/3 of it and knew we lost and didn't feel like watching it when I got home.

    I'm both pro-Live and pro-DVR.

    I missed more games this year than I have in the past I'd still say I got about 75 of them. It can be pretty hard to make things work out so I can watch every game. When I miss one I'll usually read some recaps. The good thing about being a nerd is my house and my work (heck even the gym) has "screens" almost everywhere so there were a lot of nights I watched games on my phone while I helped out with getting the kids ready for bed, not the best viewing experience but it works.

    I should probably get more into using my recording devices it'd make the evenings smoother, especially those stupid east coast games trying to watch those ones live is a real struggle.

    This is called premature ejaculation. It's okay, it happens to a lot of first-timers.

    Oh Bones has plenty of negative posts, I challenge you to find one by KS though, I doubt one has ever been written.
