ESPN has been surprisingly considerate of Harden and his injury. Even after "backing himself into a corner" with his comments on resting, everyone has said rest AND his MVP is already secured. That's not just pundits talking, that's coming form actual MVP voters. whoa.
It's one thing to do well against the Pelicans, and even the Thunder. But the Warriors are the undisputed best team in the NBA and you have to hit them with your best shot.
I think in the final quarter it was really bothering him, he missed a few layups cause he was worried about it I think
If rockets would be smart, keep him to go. Play him in just 2 quarters. I say start Willams out there with gordon, and then bring on beverly and harden in the 2nd half. Limit him big time .If there playing to win on Friday to try to prove something, then sit him in portland game. The next 4-5 games are against non playoff teams after gs, should just let him DNP-Rest. Whats the point anyways, Houston bench can win a few or all of those games without harden. If he thinks winning the MVP is playing all 82, then let him play a bit in the near the end of 3rd quarter win most of everyone bench is out there. Just like that reporter said if the wrist gets worse it would bite everyone come playoffs.
I don't think this is a bad thing. Have Lou getting more minutes to run the offense will just make us a better team come playoffs. I would actually enjoy seeing what the team can do with Harden on the bench.
Harden needs to take some of this. http://menssupplementreviews.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/9b-Osteo-Bi-Flex-Review.jpg A couple of years ago, I suffered a real bad injury to my left wrist while doing some bicep curls at the gym. The pain was excruciating. My wrist would jam up on me. I couldn't even do push ups, lift 15 lbs weights or even comfortably shoot a basketball without feeling like my wrist was going to snap. Even my doctor couldn't figure out what the problem was. So after eight months of constant pain, I tried those supplements and it fixed my wrist injury after only 3 or 4 days of taking it. Doesn't hurt to try.
For me, the pain was pretty much gone after only a couple of days of taking the supplement but I continued taking two pills a days for about 2-3 weeks and I haven't had any problems since.
i gotta try this. still to this day since all my wrist sprains, i get pain if i play guitar for more than 3 hours at a time
rest him. 3 seed locked. Need him healthy for when it counts. Sit him 3-4 games, let him come back a few games before the playoffs start to shoot away the rust and then we roll with him and Anderson.
