    Next game after tomorrow isn't until Thursday. There is no reason to rest or limit the minutes of Harden or CP3 against the Spurs.

    I wouldn’t mind resting Paul under these circumstances. Anything that can mitigate his chance for an injury.

    nah, we need to keep getting wins. We don't need to sit them just because Pop does. If the Spurs were a lottery team no one would say something like that.

    I think they will miss playoff because they have too many questions. I hope we play them the first round and exit them out.

    I absolutely do not trust Harden to sit out when he needs to sit out. Keith Jones better watch him like a hawk.

    I would say give the night off for both Harden and Paul but we don't have a capable 3rd PG.

    Just play everybody but try to finish the game by half time so our main guys can get some rest.

    I have two bets for $100 each on the Rockets have a better reg season record than the Spurs, now I know it is looking great, but if Rox win tomorrow, they clinch....

    I want them to win....

    I hope you’re joking.

    Playing a healthy Spurs team led by Kawhi in the first round is what my nightmares are made of.

    I like to look at history and say we beat a Spurs team at full strength in the playoffs. We have many more years to become dynasty, the end of the Spurs is going to be soon when Kawhi leaves. I don't like the what ifs by avoiding the Spurs and for Harden to redeem from last year.

    I agree. The same goes with Paul and Capella... it is time for our bench to get serious time to get up to speed.

    Golden opportunity to give harden a good rest. Now. Hell I would look at restricting Paul’s minutes as well for this game.
