The concerning thing is giving him all this rest might not mean anything. Didn’t he have all summer to rest it?
So what's up with Chris? Are they dumb enough that they would rush him if it wasnt for Hardens Brolly mode? Or is dr Jones lying about timetable as usual? When he will start doing some oncourt exercises?
I really wonder how many games he can possibly last even when healthy. Has it just been bad luck or has his body worn out? We did get one 15 game stretch this season from him, He only played more games than that once last year without sitting out. So, if and when we hit the playoffs we need a whole lot of luck on our side that he can last til game 7 of the finals. He fell 2 games short last year when he got hurt after 15 games. That's where Rivers will help, but I still want that move for another big threat when Clint is resting or hurt.
Gordon will most likely be day-to-day for the next 3 months before Morey is forced to admit he has a season ending injury cause thats how the Rockets do it
Either way, when CP3 and Gordon come back they need to sit Harden for some games. Rustiness be damned... him having fresh legs in the playoffs is going to be crucial the only way we can make another great run. Maybe sit for 3/4 games...like a week/week and a half. I can't see how that would cause him to lose that much game shape and timing...as long as he isn't hitting the strip clubs every night until 2AM. (or is that asking too much? )
Problem with that is I remember harden being too prideful to sit out games without any injuries in the past....
It's nice to see him practicing again. Spoiler: Inappropriate I didn't realize Chris was packing so much junk back there...
