    fully agree with DNP's for Harden and Paul a lot over the next 7 games. Rest them, or play very sparingly towards the end of the season. Get them a little tuneup in the final regular season game for playoffs. Enjoy a healthier team :).

    Clinched with 7 games to go unbelievable.

    No one in the core rotation should play more than 20 minutes a game.

    Play Black, Joe Chee, Green, JJ, Hunter, etc 35 minutes

    I would still play everyone to keep them sharp, but I wouldn't play defense. Maybe just chuck threes and stat pad.

    Gotta admit, getting 68 wins would be an awesome milestone to have in team history.

    They would never do it but I would fully support sitting out Paul and Harden for 5 games each and let the first round be a warm up for the next round.

    The worst thing that can happen to the Rockets now is an injury.

    2 more wins and we have homecourt for every series we may play in. While unrealistic it would be cool to win out the rest of the season and riding that wave of momentum but I dont think it will happen with a road b2b to end the season.

    You are not going to get harden to time off, he wants to play too much.

    but have we clinched for the finals?

    I think not

    too much resting is premature

    a little here and there sure but not full blown bench balling

    Skip Bayless declares the Phoenix game is why Harden will not succeed in the playoffs.


    No, he hasn't yet but we all know that's what's coming tomorrow
