    Chandler Parsons is 100% playing. You know he is milking this atmosphere for all it's worth.

    'The injured Parsons returns to his first NBA home to help secure Home Court'

    You know he wants to see that headline on the front page news. Dude is the biggest attention w**** there is.

    I am not buying his injury severity one bit.

    I think the dude is hurt. But the Mavs don't have the luxury of him resting a game or two. If this was the regular season, no way in hell would he even be questionable.

    Opinions on Hack-a-Rondo? Mchale chose to intentionally foul him once last game after they intentionally fouled capella. Rondo was shooting 33% with the Celtics and 42% with Mavs from the stripe, also takes the best defender Dallas has to guard HArden. But, you have to believe playoff rondo will show up especially with how he was shooting last night. :cool:

    A must win game, it would be great going in to Dallas 2-0 up and having 2 free swings to steal one on the road

    Rockets win by 15. Mavs are over-matched.

    Probably trying to lure our boys out with him. Don't do it Harden!

    It's business. Parsons comes from a modest family. You expect him to turn down millions? So you gonna mess with a dude just because he took the money. The NBA is a marketing arena. There are no real grudges. Players are friends are across team lines....

    People don't hate him because he left, they hate him because of how he left.

    the difference between going 2-0 and going 1-1 and then heading to Dallas for 2 games is so huge. This game is more important than Game 1.

    Game 1 is more important... in a 7 game series the team that wins game 1 wins the series 85% of the time.

    Would've been fine if he didn't trash the city of Houston on his way out

    This stat doesn't apply to the Rockets as we saw in 2005

    Ya I think the group of guys we have help his attitude. If he bolts to take more money on a less established team, he may fall of quickly.

    If we Hack a Rondo, we might take his -25 off the court. I love playoff Rondo, because Dallas sucks when he plays.

    Pistons already paying him big money next season and it's not like he's going to start anywhere else..I think.
