    You gotta see if the momentum carries over with the 5 that played the 4th and bring Harden in as 6th man. This group had so much confidence and mojo down the stretch that I think it's worth a shot to see if they can come out hot on Sunday. It would be somewhat ballsy to do it, although Harden is still going to get the same minutes either way.

    Lmfao, No you start him.... He could win game 7 by himself if he gets hot

    However, You go to this lineup to start the 2nd and 4th and see what it gets you

    Moron, nothing trollish about it. It's a serious question and no knock on Harden. They're gonna need him big time on Sunday.

    Not trolling dude. But apparently, it's a moronic idea.

    Sorry man. It just doesn't make sense to not start Harden and no matter how you justify it it's borderline insulting to your star player.

    That second group has all the confidence in the world though and I would love to see that same group with that same energy in the final quarter of the last game.

    I'm so happy clutchfans posters have no say in what the rockets do.

    Yes. They need him big time.

    Which is why you start him. Absolutely. No question at all

    Not calling you a troll or an idiot for your suggestion but I think it's a bad idea. I would guess it has minimal margin of actual production but huge margins of Harden getting pissed. We don't want chemistry issues in the final game

    I mean yeah, I wouldn't do it if it was going to cause a riff or anything. But honestly, I was thinking that it would give Harden fresh minutes when Jordan is likely going to the bench for rest. With Jordan out of the game James is free to roam the paint.
