Why do you care? Keith Jones will be there. He is the center piece and the last standing piece from the 90's
With a 6.5 game lead over GS in the West, I would rest as many players as possible, while still playing them enough to keep them sharp.
Fair enough. If they don't win 3 of those 4 games they are going to be fighting for a spot. I was talking out my bum - but still go to the game!
I would say rest them against San Antonio, since they always to it to us late in the season. MDA said in his weekly interview on the radio, that his philosophy is leaning more towards keeping everyone sharp. So I doubt that he would sit all the starters but you may see him alternately sit Harden, Paul, Capela, or Ariza. I don't know if that is helpful to you.
No rest everyone. OKC is dirty as hell, remember when brewer kept fouling for no reason and almost injured Harden
Depends.. If there is a possibility to put them down into the 6th or 7th seed...hell yes do it.. if there is a possibility of putting them up on 3rd seed if they win out and portland lose a couple then yeah rest the starters.. I think Portland has built too much of a lead on them, so don't see them getting third.. but would love to put OKC at 6th or 7th so they get Portland in first and warriors in second.. At this stage sixth and seventh should be between OKC and Jazz, don't care who faces who.. That would mean either Pelicans or San Anton will have to step up and take fourth .
I think they'll play but not their normal amount. Maybe play a normal 1st half rotation and then either severely limited or not at all in the 2nd.
I’m planning to go to this game...I usually buy my tickets an hour or 2 before the game so if a lot of guys are gonna sit out then I probably won’t go I hope they play everyone, I’ve got some boos saved up for Westbrick
Like others have said, I think it just all depends on seeding. OKC has a really tough schedule left and if they’re on the verge of being knocked out of the playoffs then you absolutely go out there to destroy them. Yes I know it’s unlikely they don’t make the playoffs, but it’s still possible. Or let’s say they’re the 6th seed and if we beat them then they drop to 7 then you absolutely go out to beat them. It just all depends on seeding and what the Rockets ultimately want for matchups.
The playoffs start on Saturday, April 14, so chances are the Rockets will be playing at home for Game 1 on either Saturday or Sunday. I would just get tickets to that game instead.
