    No, no, no. A young man's knees swell up to the point of not being able to bend without any contact? This is disturbing.

    I've wanted him to take a few games off and heal for a while now, but for Harden's sake, I really hope he's okay for OKC.

    We should start limiting his minutes to around 30 per game until he heals up.

    according to rotoworld it was from banging Belinellis knee while trying to draw a charge in the first half; no problems during the game but swelled up afterwards. Doesnt sound too bad.

    If he misses tonights game, it could mean some real minutes for D Mo since morris and smith are going to be stretched so thin

    its easy to be optimistic when everything is going well, but true optimist have learn to sustain their optimism through hard times...only that way you can actually be happy and enjoy...perhaps this injury is just an opportunity for rookies to get more PT and perhaps we discover another pearl...

    Parson and Harden playing too many minutes in a 82 game schedule.

    Sucks if he can't play tonight.

    I think they will run with this lineup if Parsons can't go:

    Lin / TD
    Harden / TD
    Delfino / Morris
    Morris / DMo
    Asik / Smith

    They won't want to mess with our center rotation and offensive continuity, so I don't see Smith spinning down to PF.

    The main challenge is going to be staggering Delfino and Morris. When Delfino comes out, that means Morris slides down to the 3 and DMo plays the 4.

    Is this even necessary? I hope he it is not too serious and he can play against the Spurs this Friday.

    Starting Smith at the four closes off too many lanes for Harden and Lin. I'm guessing they'll start Delfino in his stead, although wouldn't mind shifting Harden to SF and playing Douglas at SG

    No don't start Tony. He scares me. Start Delfino. I trust him to make reasonably smart decisions over Douglas any day.

    Looking at how fragile he is... He's just destined to be hurt.

    Injuries are bound to happen especially in this run and gun offense

    I like Delfino com8ing off the bench and I think hes more comfortable off the bench. i would start Daequan, but since the Wolves start AK, I'd slide Morris to 3, and Greg Smith draws the start at 4. Id manage and sub Asik or Smith pretty quickly though depending on the flow of the game.'''Im not a DMO fan like most of this board. I see the upside, but right now he's simply not ready yet. We'll probably have to play Cole ALdrich more than id like, but he can at least pick up some cheap hard fouls vs Pekovic.

    It also didn't help that Nate Robinson pushed him to the floor for no reason after Harden blocked Butler's shot :mad:
