    OK.

    A) not good
    B) I assume this means Lin starts at SG? He keeps trying to get settled on the bench, and they keep yanking him back...

    Harden went through shootaround, chatted about playing SA, but did not do his usual long shooting session after. Was hurt at Memphis on Sat.
    — Jonathan Feigen (@Jonathan_Feigen) January 28, 2014

    Per Feigen, Harden originally hurt his thumb on Saturday against the Memphis Grizzies.

    Harden is averaging 23.7 points, 5.5 assists and 4.9 rebounds per game this season. The Rockets are 4-2 this season when Harden doesn’t play.

    Damn no Harden? Well they are missing some players as well. Lets see how this game plays out...

    In before Lin has a great game and Lin fans demand harden gets traded and claim the rise of linsanity. (happened last year too right? Lin played great in the loss without Harden)

    Surprising that the Rockets website says only that, with Harden out (and probably Garcia and Brewer) Lin is only "likely" to start. So Brooks is now moving ahead of Lin on the rankings? Wow, how the mighty have fallen.

    Good grief! I hope it isn't serious. This a chance for the rest of our backcourt to step up and show what they can do. Let's hope we enjoy it.

    Perfect chance for Lin to show if he can make that entry pass to Howard. Lets go Red Nation!
