    I dont think he is trolling. What he said makes lots of sense.

    Steal, you see the two examples. both statements went to extremities. indicates nothing but LOF and LOH.

    at least you are better than other. you are still trying to debate instead calling out so i am willing to point out your mis-statement.

    I think the team will be fine. We just need to stay calm. The team needs to stay levelheaded and look for the open man and play good D. Do not let the other team outrebound them! And DMo need to play a little slower so that we can get more out of him! In the last game he was almost dying out there. He did a quick foul so that he could rest on the bench. I hope that T-Rob is ready this time and not just looking at the ball, but also go after it. Last time I saw that he was the last one in transition... even slower than Asik... Hope he knows what to do tonight

    Thank you. I guess any criticism of Harden or Parsons makes you a troll to some people. Probably the same ones that think "Jeremy Lin is a joke".

    actually when Lin was handling the ball at the end of the bucks game the rockets started to roll...then they went to iso ball with harden....how'd that work out?

    its not offense....its defense.....thats the problem...how harden doing there?

    worst team in the NBA on D.....best scoring....and Lin plays d....Lins not the problem... Harden with 7 turnovers....rediculous.....

    Nothing confirmed yet.

    Jonathan Feigen ‏@Jonathan_Feigen

    Harden (sore knee), Lin (sprained ankle) going through shootaround after sitting out yesterday. Lin said will play. Nothing yet on Harden. .

    Harden will play

    Harden was worried yesterday but said he'll be fine tonight. Will go with a knee pad.

    Okay! PHeewww... We need harden in the game, who else would play on his position? Anderson? Beverly? Delfino?
    I don't really see who could replace Harden there

    I would prefer Harden to sit this one out. This is a really winnable game even without him.

    Dallas, even though their not what they used to be, will be a much tougher opponent.

    Really really hope we can blow them out early so Harden can get some rest.

    Disagree with some what you said. Lin looks like being over coached. The hesitation in game indicates that, just a fraction of second, you have a turnover. If he is determined to shoot when he could not create for others, his game will become better, his turnovers will go down. Just stop following all your coaches' instructions, you can not just be out there playing other people's game, be a little selfish, learn how to balance it, he will become a very good solid PG in this league. It's just McHale's system and Harden's ball dominance make his transition a little bit hard for him. As McHale said it before, he is just a young player, you expect him have ups and downs.
