    Time for him to unleash an epic Jordan-like performance tonight.

    I believe in the Rockets!

    After his past two games, this entitled self absorbed selfish star will make us better off by not playing.

    Our rotation is just ****ed if we have neither Harden nor Lin. Who's going to fill the gap? Are we going to start Garcia and Delfino? Who subs for them?

    A sore throat? Seriously? He better play.

    The bright side is by publicizing this, he can cough on his defender tonight and make him take a step back out of fear of catching what he's got.

    Ridiculous. We all saw Harden struggle - but one of the main reasons Chandler Parsons was able to have the game he had was because the Thunder had game planned to stop Harden. That's where their focus was. Without Harden on the floor, it'll be a LOT harder for Parsons to play like that. It will be harder for guys like Delfino and Garcia to find themselves open for three. Everything will be harder.

    Love him or hate him, we absolutely NEED James Harden on the court.

    If Harden gets Durant sick and Durant misses games in the next series, the city of Houston might be invaded by a mob of angry Okies.

    He was probably sick for game 4 maybe 3 too. People usually don't realize they are sick until the coughing comes but it definitely affected his shooting this series when his body has to work extra hard to fight the infection while exerting so much energy during the games.

    Yeah, and when Harden coughs up a 15 point 10 to game again, it'll be the "sore throat" that was bothering him all game. Well all know how this works

    Seems like an isolated incident.

    I hope his game tonight does not makes us sick.

    Just avoid the dumb TOs and move the ball and yourself

    Is his condition contagious?

    He needs to be kept in isolation.

    McHale get r done...

    Hopefully that means he will pass the ball to the open man at the end of the games since he won't have the energy to go all out ISO like the past end of 3 games.

    its sad that you guys forgot how he came back from a rolled sprained ankle to play n the same game during the REGULAR SEASON.

    he will be fine..and motivated.
