Probably Terry...It could be Brewer but he's a great spark off the bench to lead the second unit along with JSMITH
If Harden can play, he should play. Can't afford to drop any more games we should win, it's the stretch run.
If Harden sits: Rockets 112 Nets 97 Dmo 21 pts 10 reb TJones 16 pts 7 reb JSMOOVE 20 pts 12 reb 3 stl Brewer 15 pts 6 ast KJ 5 pts 3 reb 2 stl Terry 13 pts Ariza 16 pts 5 reb Prigs 6 pts 11 ast If Harden plays: Rockets 119 Nets 104 Harden 31 pts 7 reb 8 ast DMo 14 pts 8 reb TJones 15 pts 17 reb JSMOOVE 14 pts 7 reb Brewer 15 pts 7 reb KJ 3 pts 1 reb Terry 12 pts 2 ast Ariza 13 pts 4 ast 3 reb Prigs 2 pts 3 ast
Don't they still have Joe Johnson and now Thaddeus Young. Give Harden a break these last couple games and have Brewer and Kostas Pap have at it. Ariza needs a break too..
Hate to jump ahead, but I'd rather sit Harden until the CLE game (Sunday). We really need him rested for that game. The BKN game is at home, which is huge. We should be able to win that game without him. Let him rest up.
A little off topic, but I've noticed the Rockets as a team are moving up on the assists list. For much of the season, we've been bottom 10 in assists, and now we're like 12th. Not forcing ineffective post ups to Dwight will raise that number.
Let's give Harden some rest. Let the team learn to play without their MVP and see what they could do.
Hey guess what? Just F'n handle your business. The Rox need to not take them lightly and just get the W
Both wins are equally important. We should be concerned with tonight and making sure we get this win before we start thinking about Sundays game.
Should add Kostas in there too. If Kostas gets a handle and his shot squared away this team would be set for the PlayOffs..
