Harden questionable for tonight with a sore foot.

Lof faint....

 

they are on a back 2 back but the starters didnt even that much of a burn last night considering it was a blow out. I REALLY want to see harden improve defensively the way he lets guys drive past him is cringe worthy. I agree we wont win anything unless we fix those things

 

It seems like everytime there is some beef with Harden, he doesn't play the next game.

 

CAN'T WAIT until the "kevin love is a perfect fit, Lin+Asik for Love" threads, LOL.

 

We can add it to the Lin+Asik for DWill, and Lin+Asik for Rondo proposals. Apparently people think these two can fetch anyone.

 

I have a bad feeling about this game. Rick gonna school Mcfail.

Martin drops 30 pts and Love with a double double.

 

Didn't we use to have a "Jeremy + Chandler = Love" thread? :grin:

 

Nope, Dwill has declined.

 

It's ok Dwight will take over.:grin:

 

The early part of this season is all about 1) diagnosing issues and 2) making improvements, while 3) win enough games so that you don't fall far off of your goal for a decent playoff seed.

I am not bothered if they have problems in game 14, as long as these problems can be fixed and we are not screwing up the w-l record too badly. There is a reason why people call "midseason form" by that name. Few teams are at their best early in the season, especially when you made a major personnel change (Dwight is one guy, but he is a major part of how the team plays. Also, the tem's never quite figured out what to do with the PF spot after the February trade, having just tried out a bunch of guys).

Harden is out for this game so the ball might move better but if its a close game someone better step up and get us a W ...

 

This is probably a good thing, he has been hurting the team more than helping and that foot can't get any better by him playing ridiculous minutes. Just need some one else to step up and if close be able to execute down the stretch.

 

Oh man... but good news is no back-to-back, so we're gonna run! :grin:

 

Only if McHale plays brewer meaningful minutes. Otherwise Bev and Lin will get hammered with minutes. Plus, you do NOT want a heavy-minute Lin guarding Kevin Martin. That's a recipe for disaster.

 

I'm stunned that you would say something like this

I really don't believe that he is that type of person. Pretty sure he wants to play and win more than anything else.

In addition, his feet have been problematic for weeks now --- it's not something that was pulled out from someone's rear end

 

may as well rest, Kevin Martin will run him ragged. Better off not chasing him on a bad foot.

 

Will Garcia start? With Brewer off the bench. I bet for it.

 

someone posted a pic of his foot, looked nasty as hell
