    Harden is injured, therefore he needs to play 45 minutes.

    Actually, if he turns over 3-4 times, I'd be happy, because it means that he is playing a controlled but aggressive game. If he plays too safely, then we're in trouble.

    He's young, he can play through that foot injury. He'll be fine. - McHale


    Ha, no he didn't say that but he probably thought that. Screw you McHale! But also, James should have done what Dwight said. Be humble, raise your hand, get yourself out of there.

    He's needs to sit until it's as close to healthy as it's going to get this season, hopefully 100% healthy. All the grief he's been getting here, and he's been playing hurt. Real classy, guys. (insert "roll-eyes" here)

    A storm is coming to CF, named "Linsanity" or "McFail": board up your windows.

    Honestly, he's playing on the court, so its fair game. No one's gonna feel sorry for him when he lets Reddick light him up and Ellis blow by him time and time again because of a foot injury. If he wants to be babied then he can rest until he gets healthy enough to play defense.

    As much as I hate to see Harden out, I think we'll be much better on defense tonight.

    It's a trap game. Game tying 3 for over time. Durant goes for 40. McHale benches Lin the entire game. Dwight Howard goes 1/100 FTs. Parsons ready to show the world he's on Justin Bieber's level. Am I missing anything?

    What is the exact injury? It can't be a bruise because those heal in a week or two.

    McHale seems fishy here.

    It would be pleasant if McHale would limit minutes to a maximum of 35 or so for Harden and Parsons. Especially when both have been playing with injuries. And the same applies to Lin, if he does one of his explosion things (won't be a problem if he doesn't).

    Harden played 42 minutes against the Mavs. If he's out, McHale is gonna run Lin 40+ minutes (despite only giving him 17 mins last time). This all-in or nothing approach can't possibly be a good thing.

    With all due respect, you are a "fill in the blank with a word I won't use here."

    All summer all I read was Harden playing pick up games over and over again. Rest and come back cause we are not going anywhere without him.

    "There's a storm coming, Mr. McHale. You and your friends better batten down the hatches, because when it hits, you're all gonna wonder how you ever thought you could play Harden so much and leave so little for Lin."
