    He should see it.
    Exibit A why we need a 4th guard sooner than later. Good that it shows on the pre season.

    He's injury prone at this age in his career and Rockets probably want to take pre-cautions since it's just pre-season.

    well he can be pretty quick on offense. he should be able to stay infront of them if a thicc guy like PJ can. its just (as always with him) the effort. btw i love harden - its just annoying that he could be a so much better overall player.

    We would not be better than Spurs.

    Mbah A Moute has to be one of the best and underrated moves of the year, if not decade.

    Its preseason but this team don't feel right yet. Hopefully these doubts are put to ease when the real season begins and Paul is playing Full Speed.

    Team looks slower, smaller, and way less fluid. I don't get the purpose of holding Paul out. We need continuity. Last game, it was horrific. Definitely out of sync.

    I just really hate that there is no movement in the offense. Spurs are hardly playing defense. Rockets are running all over the place trying to find someone to guard.

    Well, this game has been eye opening. Spurs clearly still the better team if Paul isn't playing.

    uh.. with CP3's injury history you hold him out. I'm a big believer in preseason play too. CP3 is more important than this game

    The Spurs play a version of the triangle. There are certain things you have to do to disrupt the triangle and we're not doing any of it.
