    Give it a try. At least Matthews will lose his target and become purposeless on the court and keeps asking himself what I am gonna do, what I am gonna do.

    I can image a fight broke out between them on who shoots the damn ball every single time. Melo wants ball in his hand as much as Harden. He is not going to happy to be just Ryan Anderson in this team.

    Harden plays like 44 minutes. Bringing him off the bench isn't going to do anything. We need to start the game with our best players.

    If LeBron came off the bench, Bosh would get more touches. Maybe they should give that a try down in Miami.

    Interesting this becomes a Lin VS Harden thing. They do not even play the same position. Frankly Harden's play making is not too thrilling. It is hard to see him dragging his fat ass on the top of the key trying to either throw up a lob or shoot a contested 3. The Blazers figured him out pretty thorough.

    Might be the most profound thing I have ever had the pleasure of reading on clutchfans ever.

    Are you currently working for a team specifically? If not we have to get your name out there, a basketball mind like yours can't be put to waste.

    Really breh? Is that what is has BECOME?

    The starting lineup is currently...............................................Parsons/Asik/Howard/Harden/Beverley!
    If Harden comes off of the bench, who gets to start out of ......TJones/JLin/TDaniel/FGarcia?

    Be honest who becomes a starter?
    .......

    Probably sarcasm (or extremely frustrated at Harden) votes.

    Very surprised so many people think this is a good idea. Yes, let's start Harden on the bench and take the risk of falling behind very early????

    You want to maximize Harden's time in the game to maximize your chance of winning. He needs to start so he's in the game more, so he can take breaks and recharge at various point.

    I do think he should play LESS minutes through quarters 1-3. I wonder if Harden gets tired by the end there...

    It'll be a glorious day when Lin isn't a Rocket and his fans leave with him as well.

    so much bad in this one post. who is trading the entire team? we traded kevin martin, jeremy lamb and picks for him and this is a star run League. why do you hate Harden? are you still mad at Lin's benching, get over it he's doing good for the team from that role

    45% saying yes pretty much tells you all you need to know about how badly the GARM has eroded thanks to you know who. Poor Clutch.
