    Yea because CP isn't known to get injured too often

    Like I said, resting Harden after we're 1 or 2 in the West sounds fantastic. But resting him when ur 5th & 3 games from the 8th seed is playing with fire. You guys complain about stuff just to complain

    We don't know the seriousness of any of these "injuries". I would think all NBA players would have bumps and bruises at this point in the season. He's shooting poorly, but I don't know if that's due to any injury.

    I don't have a problem with him taking some games off if needed. But, superstar players play if they want to play.

    He just needs some stripper therapy. Once he gets some stank on the hang-down he will be fine.

    wouldn't mind harden sitting some games if he's dealing with all this. he obviously looks off out there for whatever reason. cp3 is getting back into his groove and is more than capable of holding down the fort with the rest of the team

    We won't stand a chance in the playoffs if he doesn't get healthy. First of all we can't count on Paul to stay healthy, so while he is we need to rest Harden. No way James isn't hurt when he has only hit 1 of his last 25 3's. That's a big flashing red light to Stop. I wish he would just chill out and heal. We are better off getting him healthy than making a bad situation worse.

    He's so desperate to win MVP. You think anyone's pressuring him to play. He wants to play himself. Maybe he should start dropping bad habits and making realizations like that at this point in his career.

    Until the injuries and fatigue come back to bite him in those inexplicable postseason games. You Harden stans surely can't be fine with this approach..

    I firmly believe that harden gets the last say in those situations. Problem is the dude is a baller and wont give a **** if he has 5 or 6 injuries, he wants to play with his guys no matter what, he definitely needs some rest.
