    They could rest a bunch of guys Saturday and let the Pelicans win. Then bring most of them back(let Luc sit out all weekend) for Atlanta on Sunday and get the easy win.

    I’m not making a topic out of this.

    Harden loves Tillman F

    More so

    Than Leslie.

    Facts. Trust me.

    He's going for the MVP. If he rests too many games down the stretch, he's afraid someone will steal it from him like Westbrick did last season. I do think he'll sit for a game or two once the best record is clinched, but he'll probably play the rest of this homestand.

    I can see why jj haters uses +/- as evidence, most of them just box score and play-by-play watch. Pretty cancerous night with dem harden haters coming out also. At least we got a win. Dem haters Complains about jj, if he didn't play basically would have been 7 man rotation (luc left early 7 mins in da game). If that happen dem same haters gonna complain why rotation so small.

    Our beloved hero James has led us to victory, despite being injured.
    He is the REAL MVP.
    Sit him, Ariza, Luc and Paul out against the Pelicans. Nothing is more important than being healthy down the stretch. Get healthy guys. Go
    Houston Rockets!

    What happened to not playing too many B2B this season. Seems like the Rockets were not included in that planning. Since last Saturday Pelicans/Woves B2B, Tuesday Portland Thursday Pistons, this Saturday Pelicans/Hawks B2B. That is 6 games in 9 nights. While the Spurs play 6 straight at home with no B2B even when they will head out on the road in this coming weekend. WTF! Oh well. Go Rockets!!

    From the highlights we got bullied by Blake, didn't get back on defense on plenty of occasions and Tucker was trying to guard two guys or held his own and then nobody secured the rebound. We all have to hustle, can't just rely on individuals!! We got a bit lucky here

    Tilman is more of a show man than Leslie. And way better with the media.

    That said, Leslie did a lot for the Rox. A third championship or a Final appearance never happened under him though. He gave the OK for CP.

    Seriously someone needs to tell Harden you are The best and most important player we have so take a game or two off and get fresh for a month of nonstop grind. Get fresh and healthy by taking a few games like the Atlanta game off Sunday night.

    I hope TF will tell Harden personally that he will be rested whenever he is hurt, and in the last few games before the playoffs.
