    Maybe he had a little soreness and they wanted to give him the night off.

    But, I suspect he didn't play because the Rockets will play back to back games this Tuesday and Wednesday and Faried will have to carry a heavy load since Nene won't play in at least one of those games. The Rockets also play on Friday, meaning they play three games in four days. Now that the Rockets are at full strength, they now have the luxury of giving some of these guys a game off when the schedule gets busy.

    i was excited to see this game because i thought harden will sit out but when i heard in the intro that he will play i almost turned the game off..sometimes hes a major ballhog and makes the games ugly...but i am glad to hear its not on him but on cp3..hes is too impressed with harden...

    harden could improve his game and teams success by a lot by playing more offball...he is cooling off and disengaging teammates by the dribble dribble dribble stepback 3 schtik...

    past few weeks have been just fine for me. rockets have been rolling like i expected. all good on all fronts for me.

    move along? you made the effort to tag me with some irrelevant issue. I'm not exactly the one needing to move along. look in the mirror first. im loving all of it

    Maybe you should go be a fan of other teams until Harden retires because as long as Harden is here that's not going to change. It leads to winning and I would rather watch James iso to death, which is beautiful, to watching scrubs miss shot after shot with ball movement.

    If Harden playing leads to you not wanting to watch the Rockets win games, then you should check your fandom level vs your "right way to play the game" level and make a decision whether GSW bandwagon has space left.

    I am sure i am a bigger fan of harden and I respect harden more than you but lets not act like he doesn't have serious issues...when I as a fan find his ballhoging and 3'chucking ways frustrating and non/appealing I can only imagine how much more it negatively affects his teammates

    Rivers is slumping really badly. Shumpert needed some minutes to get going.
    Rivers needs to wake up. Faried and House are doing their job. Rivers needs to show serious athleticism and energy every night. He has got to show aggression and shooting in practice, before he can regain his spot off the bench.
    Tuck, Harden, Chris and Eric have been playing heavy minutes for years. The young vets do have enough minutes to play a productive role in the playoffs. I'm encouraged that Capela is starting to play better on defense.

    We aren't going to win without everyone playing their role in the playoffs. Fortunately most of the guys understand that.

    have to disagree bro. with league pass i've seen michele prepping for her interviews without the magic lighting and before her makeup, and imo she doesn't look very good. shelby on the other hand, tres magnifique

    btw, michele has also been extremely b****y often sneering and griping w/ the crew before they go on air. i don't know about you, but pdg don't play that

    You failed to acknowledge the main thesis of my post. We know why.

    Stop putting your opinion on things, then running.
