@Jonathan_Feigen: Rockets announce James Harden is playing. Kevin McHale had said if Harden does play, will be "on reduced minutes."
I don't understand this. If Harden and the medical staff say he is good to go then he is good to go. You could say we should save him for forever. This game could be a blowout early or it could turn out we really need him. You just never know, if he's obviously laboring out there just pull him.
So far there haven't been any games where both Harden and Lin were out. If anything, it's good timing that Harden came back.
It looked this way at the beginning of Tuesday's game (I was there in person). It'll fill up over the course of the first half. The lower bowl is always 30-50% empty though.
I've got it on http://www.feed2all.eu/watch/224349/10/watch-houston-rockets-vs-brooklyn-nets.html link 10, I believe.
Oh god, Ed Malloy and Violet Palmer. Two of the worst officials in the league. And MY GOD TERRANCE JONES!
