That's fine. Jimmy Butler can carry the load for us by November 2nd. (sound of crickets chirping) I said, "Jimmy Butler can carry the load for us by November 2nd." (thump thump thump) Is this thing on? Testing...
i swear we've never played the clippers with both our stars in the last 6 meetings with them. Could be wrong, but I'm sick of always losing harden or paul and then losing to them.
Is our medical / training staff doing enough to keep Harden and Chris Paul's hamstrings healthy??????? eccentric hamstring exercises?? See last paragraph. I know that is NFL but hamstrings are hamstrings. Texanstalk.com:
Blessing in disguise for cp3 melo brotherly chemistry? Me70 confirmed to turn a corner offensively and having a breakout game. Lets see whose defense better mellow or beard
I know for a fact that Harden trains eccentric hamstring loading. I can’t remember the video but I watched him work on it with a trainer as part of the strength programming he does to be able to decelerate quickly
Just frustrating. You would like to think this team could "hold down the fort" with CP and crew to win games with Harden out but it is such a struggle. Portland will not be easy. Brooklyn will not be easy. With Harden out, I would like to see CP look for his shot more. If he is open, even early in the shot clock, he needs to shoot it. We need "CP the scorer" while Harden is out. Can't play the "passive role" in this situation.
The Rockets could hold down the fort if everyone was on the same page and the defense and offense were running smoothly..... but it isn't. The hope is that the Rockets are .500% in games that Paul OR Harden miss..... and that the team gels. They expected there to be problems early in the season, but I think they expected to at least have everyone early on and that hasn't happened.
