    Rockets/Wolves game is on ESPN. Another primetime opportunity for Harden to impress MVP voters.

    Rockets need these wins against lottery teams. Margins are razor thin for the 3 seed.

    Yep but adding House to the bench rotation. Did it right after the GS game purposely since GS thinks they have us figured out.

    GO GREEN!!
    7 for 7 = 14, 100% of the time, unless they are 3s, then you just add another 7

    I'd be surprised if he didn't insist on playing, but they should be able to beat an equally shorthanded T'Wolves team at home.

    The Rockets insist on letting inferior teams play equal to them this season. We shall see.

    In House we trust

    He wasn't able to talk his way into the Feb, GSW game.

    Ironically that's because I think the coaching staff believed that was likely a loss whether he played or not. The team was coming off the 19-point choke job against the Lakers and the bad loss at Minnesota right before the break.

    You make it sound like the coaching staff tells Harden when to rest or not. That's never been the case before, so we probably shouldn't be making stuff like that up just to narratify our posts.

    He also was coming off the flu.
