I am starting to be concerned about Harden's knee.

    Watching this Mavs game he has no lift and can't finish around the basket. He almost reminds me of the way t-mac used to play. Obviously I hope it isn't anything serious but what is the actual diagnosis of his knee?

    He freakin fell hard on it too. I would have liked to see him brace for the fall but he was so focused on getting the and-1 instead. Balls of steel.

    We should start limiting his minutes. Clearly he's still favoring his knee. Towards the end of the half, he stopped driving to the rim. He would stop midway from FT line to rim.

    Doesn't McHale see his star struggling??

    I would be concern too, when he's playing 40 minutes a game, even when he doesn't have to.

    And yea, it seems like him and Lin are the worst so far when he comes to injury. They get tons of minor ones that is adding up right now.

    That's why they sign AB0.
    The Rockets worry about Harden's knee and Lin's Ankle.
    They need more rests.

    harden does not rely that much on athleticism and explosion like Orlando Mac or Toronto Mac

    He's not wearing that sleeve on his knee tonight so I'm guessing it's getting better.
