Posted in the CP3 Injury thread but feel relevant to the discussion... Rockets front office is certainly tight-lipped but think how we played during the death stretch has afforded the team the luxury of resting these guys while there is an opportunity to do so. If the Rockets went 4-6 instead of 8-2, I very much believe at least EGO would be back in action at this point. I do not think the injury was worse than thought or anything of the like. I imagine the Rockets anticipated they'd be working off a significant deficit & would need him back sooner rather than later. My Deep Speculation: The Front Office & MDA have probably butted heads around minute restrictions. Mike clearly does not play the old Pop' game and is going to play them as he sees fit. In response, likely compromise, the front office / training staff is keeping these guys out longer, when they can, to keep their overall minutes played down (season perspective).
WHO CARES AT THIS POINT. I honestly keep forgetting he's on the team. He clearly no longer likes Houston trade him for beal.
Literally what does that have to do with what I just said lol Gordon does not like Houston anymore because of the trade rumors and he's playing like ****. Harden needs help. He and Ennis should be gone.
The Rockets need him right now. The chances of beating many teams with out Capela Gordon and Paul are probably quite small.
I'd give them a better than coinflip's chance to beat the Nets. Brooklyn is respectable this season, but they're still hovering around .500. They will need EG against the Lakers on Saturday unless LeBron is still out. And he must return by the time they play at Philly on Monday.
This is bigly. Gordon can run the offense. Harden or Gordon should be on the court 48 minutes per game.
Harden/Gordon/Rivers is going to be NOICEEEEEE... Bring on that Knight/Chriss/Nene for Bazemore/Dedmon trade and let's roll into the playoffs stackeddd. 1. CP3/Rivers 2. Harden/Gordon 3. Bazemore/House 4. Tucker/Clark 5. Clint/Dedmon
