The medical staff hasn't been what you would consider on point with their decision making. McHhale is the freaking coach. Make an executive decision. Time to ramp it up or it aint happening at all this season.
There are what 5 games left? You expect it to get better between now and the playoffs? That makes absolutely no sense. If he can play 25 minutes, he can play 30. It's just silly to me, but maybe I'm old school.

The thing about James is that when everyone expects it to be a loss because of how the stars seem to be aligning against the rockets... This is when he transforms & rises above the challenge. He will shine tonight.
Spurs also recognize how big this game is and how important seeding is. Pop would almost always play cautious with a situation like this. So for him to play Parker means he recognizes how important this game is not only for seeding, but for momentum and psychology.
So what was the reason vs Blazers series last year? He never rose up to ****. I really hope this post season is different. I can't take the loss of D-Mo... it's like I lost a child and I'm not even a father yet... or married.
This game is for everyone... Yao, McGrady, Bev, D-Mo.. here on out, Harden is required to play harder than he ever has, but I think he needs to play smarter than he ever has. Let's make this year CLUTCHfully remember-able. And lets reach that promise land again.
McHale better be giving an inspiring pre-game speech. Make the loss of DMO at least a motivation for the next two games against defending champ.
