    As a precaution, I've dumped some fresh Cheerios in the bowl that I've got Jerry Lin's bobblehead head stuffed into, with his feet sticking up in the air. I also lit a couple of extra candles and polished the small bronze Buddha that's staring at Jerry's feet. My little altar is recharged and good juju should be radiating in all directions. It is my mission. Someone had to do it. Right now, I'm wishing I had a Dame Lillard bobblehead, so I could stick pins in it. Probably best that I don't. I don't want Dame's bad juju interfering with the good juju headed towards our heroes.

    No way will Harden turn down the opportunity to break Portland's 13-game winning streak.

    I've heard rumors that it's bone on bone. Is it bone on bone?

    I posted this on twitter in reply to clutch's post.

    Honestly, Harden probably has some tendonitis in his right hand wrist. Probably flares up but also settles down. Rockets could look to strategically rest certain players during the Atlanta, Chicago, Phoenix run of games.

    Dwerr left some medicine they didn't bother to clean out. They come in different colors with s on them.

    Tastes great with beer.

    You might be right.

    Harden isn’t even a human, we all know he just faked the injury not to give up his true identity.

    Tonight he shot well from 3 ... I'm glad .

    I still think it's something we should be careful with ... As well as any other nagging injuries to ANY player .

    Harden has been driving more lately .

    As much as in enjoying winning almost every game ... The playoffs are a different beast and I think we NEED to rest guys preemptively .

    We are in the driver seat . We've got to save some juice .

    Couple replays midgame showed the Blazers slapping that right shooting hand on drives and Harden holding it when the camera panned out.

    The man is a tank, but if you've earned rest time before playoffs, use it!
