    It's hard to quantify love for the game but Harden just loves to ball.

    none of this matters if hes injured or gassed in the playoffs.

    He sucked tonight...hardcore and good chance it was due to his ankle. It doesn't help anybody to continue to play on it.

    i really do love his desire and passion.

    Even if I wish he would take a day off, I truly respect his opinion.

    You have to save Harden from himself. Force him to rest or just cut his minutes all the way down.

    he showed symptoms of fatigue or whatever the hell he had tonight. Don't want to hear that he was "gassed" as an excuse when it comes to playoffs.

    This is time for DNP coaches decision. Sometimes the coach has to know what's best for the players despite what they think.

    MDA isn't dumb. I bet Harden will be out the next game due to a sore ankle.

    I bet he rests at least a game down the stretch.

    He shouldn't play both of the remaining back to back games. Otherwise I am fine with him playing.
