    Not if there is anything wrong with a tasteful Ewok anal sex graphic, but I'm more of a fan of subtle humor. Well played.

    He's actually gotten worse if that's even possible.

    His feet must be tired from playing 48 minutes of intensive defense against Lakers.

    No Harden? That mean there is no ISO and no last second dish to campers? The game will be boring.

    Harden appears to have been injured ever since the beginning of the season. I don't think you can really judge his play right now.

    You guys are brutal. Lets let Lin be the the man now and win 35 games lol. James hardens an allstar. He's the reason we even came back in that terrible lakers game. Last time I checked when you score 35 grab 9 rebound and drop 5 dimes to go along with 4 steals and 2 blocks your prob not the reason we lost. Has Lin ever even had a game like that????

    The notion that James harden is this terrible defender is so over blown. Is he a great defender? No, but he's not getting burnt every play. He played really good defense in the 2nd half of the lakers game. Jermey Lin is even worse on defense but his fan would have you believe he's all world. I like jermey Lins play this yr but let's keep it real. He's a 20-25 min bench player that can get hit and take over for stretches at a time, nothing more. He's not a superstar and never will be one. He's a solid role player who is a instant offense guy.

    Lin has been a much better defender than Harden. If you think he's worse, then I don't know what to say to you.

    And yes, he has had games like James did in LA.

    Then he shouldn't play if he gives up as many points as he's scoring.

    Your as bad as the LOF's. Why do you have run down Lin?

    I agree that Lin isn't Harden and he isn't close on offense but his defense is better than Harden and yes Lin is a good defender.

    Has Lin ever had a game like that ? Lets see, Dec 11th 20012

    38 points - 7 assist - 3 rebounds - 2 steals - 2 blocked shots

    Just because some of Lin fans are bad doesn't mean that Rockets fans should run down a good player.

    That's the coaches final decision not the players. You can't fault the player, every player (at least you would hope) has that deep desire to compete and win.

    Remember the first game of the year he had a sore neck, stiff back or something like that. The next game he said it loosened up some but if you remember he sprained his ankle pretty good but kept on playing. Since then you can tell he just hasn't been the same James Harden that we are used to. He looked better in the preseason than he did last year, so something has to be wrong.

    Maybe Jeremy stepped on top of his foot and bruised it :)

    Hope we can distribute the ball much better if he is limited. We should involve Chandler more.

    He had ice on his left foot this morning at shootaround but expects to play tonight.

    "I've got a bruise on top of my left foot that's sticking up pretty good," Harden said after shootaround.

    "On the right side, I've been having some problems these last couple of games," he added. "Just trying to get both of them ready to go."

    So ten days into the season, he's had concerns with his back, his wrist and both feet?

    "Everything. Everything," he said. "I'll be alright. I'll be good. - CSN 11/9/13 12:30pm

    This injury is a direct result of him exerting too much effort on Defense! Coach needs to tell him to focus more on his offense. Lin should compensate by playing better Defense and focusing less on his offense.
