Why would we rest the starters vs. Clips? It's the last game before the All Star break. Lin is just doing the skills challenge. Parsons in the Rook-Soph game. Everyone else is chilling. They're getting like 5 days off.
NOOOoooOo I mean it is for the best but without James our chances of beating the Clippers just went from slim to none. Don't disappoint yourselves expecting Linsanity guys lol remember Jeremy plays terrible on back2backs AND this is against THE best PG in the game, oh lord. And there's still no Toney right?
The funny thing is it's both sides. Some what to see him succeed while others want to see him fail. Either way, it'll be a spectacle! (and perhaps a good learning experience).

hey 14 points on 11 shots, not that bad....Harden has plenty of games where he might go 7-20 and drop 30 pts
Oh God, I know Harden has heart and is tough, but please rest... I really hope he can rest tomorrow night... I don't want to see something like tonight happen... *falls, holds on to knee, holds on the ankle, limp, limp, looks like he can't even move* This sequence gave me a heart attack.
No one really wants to see him fail except maybe a troll or two. It's all in Lin fan's head. There's no satisfaction for Rockets fans to want to see him do bad since Lin = play bad = Rockets no win. Criticism does not equal wanting to see someone fail either.
Against the Clippers a game like that is automatic loss. Lin's arc was incredibly high today, when he shot well the last 3 games, it was a different stroke.
