    I say let him sit. We can win this without him.

    We lost the last game against them WITH him..and that was against nearly all of their 2nd/3rd stringers.

    Don't hit me with them negative waves so early in the morning. Have a little faith.

    Aww c'mon maaaaan. Im driving in from San Antonio today to make this game. We need this win while LA loses to Ind and maybe Chi cna beat GSW. Keep the momentum going up and through the GSW game on Sun. We could be sitting in 6th up by 1 game come Mon morning....

    Well then maybe the soothing tones of Ho Chen can help

    Harden's going to force it? Man, this could turn out to be a disaster. Best worse case, Harden's foot never heals and he struggles in the playoffs. Worst case, it becomes another Grant Hill incident.

    Just kidding.

    Sort of.

    He should rest. If this team can't beat a crappy timberwolves team at home without Harden then they don't deserve to make the playoffs.

    Every game is a must win now. Games like the Bucks, Wizards, and even last time we played the Wolves, just cannot happen. We need to capitalize on teams that have a below .500 record. Every game matters, even against teams like this.

    Rockets have lost 5 of last 6 against the Wolves, dating back to last year. The one W was very close, we only won it by 3. McHale is just severely outcoached against Adelman every time. The Wolves put a 13 pt whooping on us with their 2nd stringers/D-League call ups in the most recent match-up too. Not to mention this team has looked extremely shakey against below .500 teams lately. And Harden may be out. We'll see....

    Harden is a warrior, but he needs to sit. Foot issues need to be nurtured and corrected.

    I rather have Harden sit. We can win this without him rather risk losing than risk him getting injured.
