    I wish Linsanity were really something Lin could activate every time the star player is out, like a superhero power. :)

    Scrub by day, Linsanity by night

    James Harden is Lin's kryptonite! It all makes sense now o_O

    Harden: "I’m tough enough. My main focus is on tomorrow, getting the right treatment, icing as much as possible, try to get my ankle ready."


    James, we dont deserve you. Whatta guy

    No matter, I still think we can do it. F* the Clippers! We're gonna go into the all-star break like a boss.

    Harden should have sat out against GSW & played against the Clippers. Or McHale should have sat him when it was clear he wasn't himself. We could have beat GSW w/out Harden no way we beat Clippers w/out Harden. Really want to see how a healthy Hou team matches up vs Clippers for playoffs. Now we won't see that.

    Great decision.

    He could rest up his sore knee as well.

    Harden better rest. I'd rather have him play in ASG, then tomorrow.

    That's really not true at all.

    Also, it's better to secure one win and lose the other than risk losing both.

    Harden is a crazy mother, but I hope playing on a bum ankle doesn't turn into the grant hill incident.

    No way! Teams should always make sure they win the easier game. Expend full effort on the easier game of a back to back.

    A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush?

    I don't have a problem with Harden sitting out the Clippers. Sprains take some time to fully heal, and best not to aggravate it if it's hampering him.

    As for sitting out all the starters, I don't think McHale can afford the fine. :grin:

    If you're going to rest Harden, the Clippers game is a good one. I really don't see us stopping them defensively between CP3 and co.

    If we're lucky we can outscore them, but that's a lot to hope for...

    They should rest him regardless of what he says.

    We should just rest ALL the starters... That'll mind f**k Chris Paul and his balls and chain Griffin.

    For the love of god Harden better rest tomorrow. Don't want another McGrady, Yao situation. Players trying to tough it out against a barrage of nagging injuries is a recipe for DISASTER.
