    Rockets finally give Harden a well-deserved rest. There is no bonus for playing all 82 games.

    Spurs about to make a run with Kawhi coming back this Thursday. I feel like they’ll lock down that 3 seed. If u wanna avoid spurs in 2nd round, gotta keep winning

    Harden should rest, but won't be sprites if he plays. Dude is tough, tough.

    I’d almost rather play the spurs than whomever else might end up at 3. Like Portland... different year. Better Rockets. Worse spurs (with or without Kawhi).

    Rest him for the mavs and the Spurs back to back. We have brutal three game road trip starting in New Orleans and Minnesota back to back and two nights later in an epic showdown in Portland.



    We will need our best player healthy for that

    rest him or have him play very limited minutes. don't we play Spurs on Monday? would be ideal to rest him tomorrow. but we also not wanna los to the Mavs.

    Spurs looking like the will not make it to the playoffs

    They can with a positive attitude and self belief. Resting James is very important.

    Don't even joke about that scenario. But the brief moments I saw Johnson, I thought the attempted pick n roll and some defensive effort were valiant but somewhat off timing. There's no way Joe should be getting any minutes over Green though.

    MDA is an offensive genius, he should be able to allocate PG minutes between CP3, Splash Gordon and The Prince and keep the offense running. While Splash Gordon is no Beard, he is a capable driver to the rim and surely he can run PNR with Capela. Get Beard some well-deserved rest, there are bigger fishes to fry on the horizon.

    His knee is fine. He just left for some dranks. Dranks are good for the joints.

    The mentality should be we’re gunning for that number 1 seed and we are not ducking anybody. Personally, i hope we face them and gsw when both teams are at full strength. This is a special year for us, and nothing would make it sweeter than to go through those teams.

    He doesn't need to play hurt, he needs to be fit for the playoffs. The Toronto performance was his best under pressure. Only biased selectors would give that award to someone else.
