Sigh On one hand I hope they're able to play next game because we need them. On the other I'm always nervous about players rushing back in before they're ready, and possibly worsening said injury.
Hmmm... Add Jeremy to that list? "Houston Head Coach Kevin McHale mentioned that Jeremy Lin took part in about half of Thursday’s workout, but said he fully expects Lin to be ready and available to play Friday night." http://www.nba.com/rockets/news/news-and-notes-october-31-2013
Personally, I'd definitely keep Harden active for the game, but just give him limited minutes unless we really need him. Not worth worsening injuries when its only the second game. Let Lin run the offense.
I really hope not. Howard is an awful post player given his superstar status. His post moves are ugly. Otherwise, he's dominant getting his offense in the flow or on the pick and roll which he doesn't seem to like. He barely set any picks yesterday. Most picks are exclusively asik. Sad Howard would limit himself like this.
we talking about mchale giving harden limited mins & letting lin run the offense ? wont happen but good wishful thinking though lol
If you recall, Lin was limping a bit after a layup vs Al Jefferson when Ramon Sessions hit Lin in the back of the leg. Lin fell down (after making the layup). It didn't look intentional, but Lin was definitely limping afterwards. Wishing Bev, Harden, and Lin a speedy and full recovery. I'm most concerned about Harden. Back issues are not to be taken lightly, as I'm sure you all know.

Yeah I was afraid once I saw lin limping, but I really liked the way he played off the bench, aggressive, hopefully everyone is okay it's a long long season
Either way its not good. Rarely do lower back issues just disappear completely, but it could be jut tightness due to his APT loading his back 24/7 source: me
Play against the Mavs, and beat them, they can both rest against the Jazz, and rockets should still pull out a W in Utah
We can should sit them, we still have the talent and depth to win without them. Lin/Brooks Garcia/Brewer Parsons/Casspi Asik/Casspi/Motiejunas Howard/Asik
srs thank god we got brooks. next 2 games are a b2b so if they play it safe, he should be there against the mavs
You mean it's the first time it happened? That's good if it's the case. Ouch. Great shot tho, good to hear he's fine.
