    Harden gassed out. Clint saves us. Harden got to chill with the hero ball all the time, especially if he's tired

    He played what like the last 18 or so minutes of the game which at the end made it so he only sat for 5 minutes and 21 seconds in the entire game.

    He was pretty obviously gassed with all those shots coming up short after being on fire the rest of the game.

    Harden was absolutely gassed. Not sure why Mike insists on not resting him. Every damn shot he threw up was short. Usually when he is gassed he just wants to dribble down the shot clock and take shitty shots. It never fails. Mike will never learn either.

    I thought it was pretty clear going into this season that Harden’s minutes need to be reduced if he’s going to be at his best for the playoffs.I get that Paul isn’t playing and Luc was out, but I’m not very confident in Dantoni’s ability to manage minutes even when they come back.

    Dude ran a 7 man rotation in the playoffs.

    Absolutely. CP3 would take so much pressure off Harden's duties as a pg.

    The 4th quarter collapses would be a thing of the past. No doubt.

    He's legit top 2 center in the league as of right now. He's not only grown performance/skill wise but I bet he's less than an inch shy of 7 foot in true height.

    LOL...

    Damn, I can't believe you guys are complaining about Mike D.

    Imagine Cavs Fans...they have Ty LUE!

    He's playing a stupid line up that let the Rockets, Clint, and PJ dominate inside.

    26 rebounds Cavs
    45 rebounds Rockets

    What a game by Clint. We need CP3 and LMM back. This team is gassed.

    This why we need CP3.

    Harden played the entire 2 half and was gas, missing layups, short on the same 3 he was making.

    But right now there is nobody who can play the point beside James

    I love how someone posts that the team needs to bail out the guy that dropped a triple double with 5 steals. Ok.

    Do people know Harden played 42 minutes in this game, the entire 2nd half? Jeez, give the guy a break

    Will the media or players ever call out MDA? This guy will cost us the season if he’s not careful

    Harden was totally gassed at the 5 minute mark.. MDA needs to find him rest. he can't go a whole half without rest, especially with his penchant for launching from Sugarland.

    How CP3 and Harden mesh is really not where Paul's value will show.

    It's counter productive to have Harden play the entire second half. He was dead the last 6 minutes and it would have cost us the game of not for Tucker's hustle. Being able to rest Harden will be an exceptional benefit.

    Mike D is a breath of fresh air after KM. I just wish he would have got our guys some rest. I know it's tough but man capela saved us from blowing that game. We looked so flat. He tried Bobby and it didn't work. Maybe Troy?
