    according to reports. Faaaawwwkkkkk

    Hoping he would sit this game. Wanted beard to destroy Simmons, who got lucky quite a few times due to beard being winded.

    As for kawhi - Beard dominated him last game, believe he will again.

    Hope they put kawhi on beard. He can't guard him healthy, and if he's even slightly injured beard will destroy kawhi.

    There's no way he is at full power after the way he was limping out of San Antonio. He'll play, but he likely won't finish the game, and he will not be as quick offensively or defensively.

    I guarantee he plays, but no matter what it won't be long. If the Rockets dominate, he's out like a light. If they struggle, he's still out. Look for him to make major strides in the first half, then fall off and rest in the second. Pop will be measured about this.

    Test him for steroids BEFORE the game this time instead of AFTER.

    Let him play. I don't want to get past the Spurs because of injury and just be content to lay down and let the Warriors play with our butts and take our chon chon. If we want to go to the Conference Finals and give the Warriors a battle, we need to face adversity and beat the Spurs at their best for 2 games in a row.

    Good. We will beat him with or without him tonight. Knowing Pop, even if he plays, I am sure he will be pulled early, if Rockets have a decent lead.

    I'm fine with Kawhi at less than 100% - James is certainly not at 100% either.

    Just a gut feeling - he won't play. Spurs have to think they have a way better chance at Game 7 at home than pulling it out tonight, so why risk it if Kawhi isn't close to 100%?

    He'll play. Pop won't give away Game 6 just to have him a little healthier in Game 7. Anything could happen and he doesn't wanna risk that.

    Play team ball and make Kawhi move them feet.

    Attack. Attack. Attack. Be aggressive.

    Knock them out early and don't look back. Rest in the 4th. Prep for Game 7.

    I want him to play and aggravate the ankle injury. Plus we've shown that we're more that capable of beating this team with him at 100%.

    It wasn't that much of an injury. It look like he just twisted his ankle. They'd have to strap him in chains to keep him off the court because that's the type of competitor he is.

    Harden is shooting 29% when guarded by Kawhi this series.
