    We won't have to shut him down. Harden will get injured as well. This season has made it obvious that everybody's getting injured. It is what it is.

    I just call it like I see it. Rockets have been cursed this season by forces beyond our control.

    No you definitely have your bias, you are pre programmed to see the worst possible outcome, regardless if it happens or not.

    I trust James Harden

    But I cannot trust the basketball gods right now. Too much cruelty.

    Does Harden have to average 45+ points a game now with 10-15 assists to win?

    He has to take on 11- 20 rebounds per game as Clint's substitute.

    Look at it this way, Harden has already sustained an injury this season. For Harden to miss any time at all with an injury is pretty damn rare. And hey, he kind of kicked-off this season's injury hot-streak we've been on.

    The way I've seen Harden roll his ankle and simply shake it off countless times gives me confidence that he'll be fine. Durability +100.

    Is it legal to lob it to yourself?

    No, but clutchfans seems to forget Harden carried a team without Clint with starting center, Tarik Black. And also did it before when Dwight went down.
