    You b**** and moan a lot. Stop posting for a while and watch more basketball. 24 year old superstars play a lot of minutes on every team.

    Clearly see something in Clutch's head. Why you have to mention Jeremy Lin's name here? There is nothing related to Lin.

    See you true color here.

    Couldn't we call up Daniels, or would we have to sign him (again) first? Not sure how that works.

    Are any Rockets well enough to play? Will we be able to field a team? Wow, these are young athletes, how are they always hurt? Is it something about the air in Houston?

    We would have to sign him up like a normal offseason deal. Teams can offer 10 day contratcs to players from January 5 and can only offer 2 10 day contratcs to the same player before either having to sign them for the rest of the year or let then go.

    Perfect time for Harden to work on his spot shooting?

    I am sure given the involvement he might have on his own website. Watching all the apologists for a benchwarmer tear down a true star gets a bit old.

    All this means is that Harden sits for a game, and Lin comes in to score 32/7/5 right before we trade him:p

    Kidding. It really just means that AB will have another out-of-nowhere performance and help us pull out a W against Chicago. Him or Parsons.

    This. Lin is a great facilitator, but he's so damn turnover prone. I guess it's time we let him work on that, because Harden will not last another year in the NBA with how many minutes he's getting. Our team (and fans) care too damn much about winning meaningless regular season games. We should beat the bad teams on talent alone, and if we can't then we are not legit contenders plain and simple.

    Start Lin and let Harden learn how to score off ball. When Howard is not setting picks for Lin early in the shot clock then James should be getting off ball screens for open threes.

    Did you not read the person he was responding to?

    It simply happens when you play your player at fatigue, especially when they
    are not even fully recover from previous problems. The balance of your muscle
    coordination is lower during these time, and very easy to sprain heavily. You
    just don't know why you land your feet like that at that time.

    High ankle sprains have really high chance lead to more serious feet problems
    during recover time. Usually during treatment periods, people should limit the movement.

    But I still see our coach
    said "He is not sure Harden will play tomorrow"
    seriously????? We still have AB, Berveley, and brewers.

    I thought Lin was out, going to back specialist for spasms?

    We only have 2 superstars, lebron and durant... they are the exceptions not the rule...

    I prefer better management of minutes specially during regular season (36 mins max for stars, 30-32 for starters, 18-20 mins for bench), you can increase the minutes during playoffs...

    I think the Rockets are waiting for the Asik trade to go down first, seeing who else might be incoming or leaving (eg Brewer, perhaps one of DMo or Greg Smith). If there's a vacant roster spot, then there'll be either a call up or they could sign Daniels and secure his rights and let him develop at RGV.

    Problem is we haven't been beating the bad teams.

    Even before this latest injury, I never understood why McHale played Harden 39.9 mpg at the start of the season when he was injured since training camp with bad feet. It took Harden missing 3 games out to recover.

    I could understand mid-season or late in the year to play your top dog those minutes to make the playoffs or for seeding but at the start of the season to play a hurt star those minutes was crazy
