    The real question is where the hell is Moute? I was looking forward to going 10 deep with Gordon, Tucker, Moute, Green and Nene getting rotation minutes.

    Looks more like a faked injury as usual the Harden style. Highly likely will not play against the Magic but almost certain will be back for GSW.

    Harden like Lebron are just not normal.

    We've seen harden play the very next day after spraining his ankle just like Curry who proceeded to miss 13 games.

    Only guys I've seen like this are Lebron and harden

    There bodies just seem to heal quickly but really they don't get out in any compromising situations to begin with.

    Iv actually never seen harden pull anything and not be able to continue. This is prob the first game he had to leave since when he was with okc and artest elbowed him in the head.

    What's crazy is I feel like he will miss the Orlando game and play the next night against golden state.

    In reality this schedule this month outside of the 2 warriors games is true extreamly tough. He should sit minimum 10 games. The twolves and Portland are the only games that imo are 50/50 games.

    Let the beard get some long over due rest he needs it. Guy hasn't missed really any games since he got to
    Houston.

    100%

    This team is still very good as long as cp3/Capela/Gordon/Ariza are in the lineup.

    Obviously harden is the engine he's the MVP but still cp3 is a top 10 player and his impact is profound.

    This is not the end of the world and it might allow harden some much needed rest and get to watch cp3 run the show from the bench much like cp3 got to watch harden early in the year.

    We need James healthy when's he's rocking with cp3 we're only beatable to the warriors and even that I think we can give them a run for there money.

    On a side note it's time for Ryno to
    Step up he's got to get 15+ Points a game while harden is out.

    We get it... you are still pissed that Jeremy Lin is gone but your irrational hatred of Harden is pathetic. Suck it up or become a Nets fan TexanASIAfan. If you become a Nets fan take BrewersGoat and Cheke with you.

    The Rockets need more depth. You can blame MDA for tight rotations but after player's get injured there is not much he can do. Rockets only have 8 serviceable players, maybe 9 with Green now. When CP3, Capela and luc when down Rockets had 0 depth whatsoever. Literally a 5 man squad.

    And once one player gets injured it causes a chain reaction since there is less depth players have to play more minutes and work harder....

    Well, let's get Lin back here so he can dribble off his foot. Dribble into the post where two big dudes await so that he picks up his dribble and throws it away in a panic.

    10 for 20 for 40 points with 11 assists doesn't cut it for you? Maybe you and swyyguy and the like can start a Hate Harden Meetup Group.

    It's very odd to limp like that off the court and be fine that night - when that happens and involved the hamstring usually it's months not days. But if truly it is day to day and he just misses a few games this team really dodged a bullet.

    On the other hand him being out even two weeks might get this team back to playing defense and give Paul a chance to take over this team which I think would be beneficial. It also give Harden a little rest.

    Harden is the best generator of offense for sure. But Paul can be the leader that everyone follows including James.
