    Exactly.

    No need to rush him even if he insists.

    Each win gives a great opportunity to let him completely heal instead of risking him reinjure it.

    He’ll be 100% for game 3. Couple games to get into shape. Can’t wait for Russ to join and lead a more diversified 2nd unit.

    One forgets that the Rockets each year have done this consistently against GSW. The Thunder are not even close talent wise.

    Im thinking OKC is resigned to the fact that James Harden Jr is that city's Step Dad, but now the Step Dad is hanging out with the Real Dad (Russ) and making everyone there uncomfortable because the new boyfriend (CP3) isnt as cool as the last two dudes.

    Seriously though - im certain OKC will make Jeff Green the target of reduction. Its the only logical guy they can think to contain. They may think if they can limit his scoring to 10-12 points they win the last game and GO ALL THE WAY YEAHH!

    NO

    Jeff Green is as good as he is BECAUSE OF James Harden.

    OKC is just outclassed. It was a cool story bro, but they ran into the worst possible matchup in the 1st round. Be careful what you wish for!

    But wait. This sounds like COACHING.
    We were lead to believe by some on here that MDA just rolls the ball out on the court
    and says 'go get 'em' :confused:
