    We got this. Rest Harden for a couple of games. Dude has been unreal this year, and we should appreciate everything he has done for the Rockets and fans.

    Well it would keep House in the starting lineup. The Rockets have a road B2B coming up this week, so it would be nice if Harden could get a break.

    Be nice to see CP3, Gordon, House, Faried and Capela starting lineup

    He needs rest. Rest him against the lowly Wolves. We should beat them even without our best player

    Paul back, so rest Harden. Rockets didn't get a an opportunity to rest more than a day after the back to back

    These are bumps and bruises, strains and sprains but he’s fine I’m sure of it...

    HOWEVA

    You can officially put me in the “give him a week off” category. Stay at home, get extra therapy, lift some weights maybe work on that goal of 225 lbs, get some individual practice, maybe get Kobe and Dream to impart some wisdom...he’s grinding for sure. Stay at home and sharpen the blade for a week. Contemplate this chip and what it means to you. We got you for one week hoss.

    Harden has been shooting 25 percent from three since returning from the all-star break. He missed a game already due to this same injury.

    What are the chances that he never properly fully healed, has been playing injured, and has made this injury worse?

    It's recurring. He missed the GSW game with the original cervical strain, and his 3-ball has been off ever since -- 25%.



    All the more reason he needs to sit out some games.

    This neck stuff is a bit worrisome. A neck issue can very easily lead to nerve irritation in your arm and shoulder. They can also linger for awhile. It would be really nice if we could rest Harden for 2-3 games.
