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

  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.

    We should go for the win. Karma is a bitch, if we do lose just to avoid OKC.

    RipCityDSCPL Could be worse, at least it's not Lonzo.

    That's illegal and good luck trying to get one to stand still long enough without goring you.

    Sure, fuck it, why not? Might as well soak up the feelings of victory while we can. I would love for us to win a playoff series, but without Nurk I don't see us beating anyone in the West, other than maybe the Clippers. I don't think our seed or playoff opponent or side of the bracket is going to mean anything. Whoever we face is going to do the same thing all of our playoff opponents have done since we've had Dame and Stotts and we won't adjust, and then we'll get embarrassed again. Better win while we still can.

    Paul George is hurt and too hobbled to play. OKC is barely winning against a Bucks team sitting all their starters in an exhibition.

    Why do we want to avoid OKC? So we can instead play Golden State in round 2?

    This is Dame's friend on Bucks, Tim Fraizer? Damn, he could get himself a ring.

    OKC has to be the luckiest franchise this Season, if Paul George wouldn't have made that shot, they would already play the Warriors in the 1st, and one day later they play b2b against the best team in the league and they play against their G-League players so instead of facing the warriors they can face a Nurkic-less Blazers Team smfh

    Blazers can choose their opponents on the last game... Utah or OKC?
