So much for Harden returning. I guarantee Adam Silver will make an example by suspending everyone on the Rockets involved at least 2 games.
Let's hope TNT and ABC pressure the league to avoid suspensions and keep the ratings up for the next two games. They may take a while to complete the investigation, suspending Ariza, Harden, Paul and Green for the Suns and Magic games. At least one game, I'd say. Next time Paul should throw his mouthpiece at Griffin, that we know doesn't account for suspensions.
Harden should sit out the next 2 games. We are gonna lose with or without him anyway, at least with him out we can use the excuse that the only reason we lost was because he wasn't playing.
No way he suspends them for an altercation that didn’t get physical. He probably fines everyone. I think Cp3 and Ariza only two to get suspended and that is for the Twolves game. No way a National TV game on Saturday prime time u suspend rocket players. Not after u had teams resting players last year
Luc is our best defender. Harden pressures opposing defenses. Nene provides thickness when Capela is struggling. Rockets have a lot of defensive versatility but it doesn't mean all their players are versatile. Actually it is the opposite where Rox have a lot of one dimentional players that can bring different elements. Which allows them to match up with anyone when healthy but you take 2-4 pieces away and the house of cards falls. You can't be Golden State where you have multiple guys that can shoot/pass/dribble/defend. We have one guy (Paul) who can do everything. All other players are limited.

(Photo by Harry How/Getty Images) The Rockets could have reinforcements on the way on Thursday – unless the NBA rules it out when it determines any penalties for the post-game incident in Los Angeles on Monday. Rockets guard James Harden was upgraded to questionable to play against the Timberwolves after missing seven games with a strained left hamstring. The Rockets have gone 4-3 without Harden since he left the game Dec. 31. Harden was among the group of players, with Trevor Ariza, Chris Paul and Gerald Green, who attempted to enter Clippers locker room after the game. He might not be the only player back from injury. Nene, who has been out with a bruised knee suffered Jan. 3 in Orlando, is also listed as questionable. Center Zhou Qi (elbow) and forward Troy Williams (sprained knee) have also been upgraded to questionable. Rockets guard James Harden upgraded to questionable to play vs. Forward Luc Mbah a Moute returned on Monday after missing a month with a dislocated shoulder. Tarik Black played after missing one game with an eye abrasion. Harden, the NBA's leading scorer, has not practiced since his injury, but Rockets coach Mike D’Antoni has said he was hopeful Harden would play either Thursday or Saturday against the Warriors.
no playing without practice, please do not play beard if he has not fully healed for the love of god, give this guy two more weeks, let GS get the 1st seed, we better get a healthy squad, because we don't look like a good team with anybody out
I agree does not seem smart to put him out their without practice you don't no how his hamstring will respond specially with contact
