Well it’s now upgraded to doubtful. It’s definitely looking like game 6. All KD has to do is somehow steal this one and the reinforcements will be there
Problem is the way Harden moves on the court. He may not be jumping out of the gym, but he is definitely doing some fancy footwork to get his moves off. The eurostep and stepback three take a toll on those legs. Plus don't forget he usually plays his best defense in the post which takes a ton of leg strength. I don't think he should go out there, but of course, I'm not a doctor. Hopefully the doctor's knock some sense into him if he truly isn't ready for NBA level game.
I don't think he'll play. IMO, the Nets are putting out misinformation and hoping that the Bucks will waste time preparing an alternate game plan.
That was my first reaction because just 12 or so hours ago it was definitely out. Then questionable. I think game 6 is the game plan .
Harden about to fck his whole sh*t up his hamstring gave out at the very start of the game the last 2 times…man, it’s hard for me to see him lasting the rest of the playoffs with the way this thing has been reoccurring
Harden will want to play. Nets will want him to play. But hammy dont care lol Sorry, but there is no magic cure for this type of injury. It needs time to heal. If there was a magic cure, CP would have played game 7.
Definitely not man. Reality is that Harden needs to start thinking about the summer, unless Durant can carry this team into the ECF by himself. I would hope that Harden comes back in the best shape of his life next season, although ultimately I rather this teams falls apart for the Rockets best interest.
CP3’s was a grade 2 strain tho while Harden’s is hamstring “tightness”…the worry is that Harden will go out there, overwork his hamstring, strain it, and then have to miss time again like what’s already happened this season
Harden needs to come back in 17-18, or at the very least 18-19 level shape I think the condensed schedule and shorter offseason is the main reason tho…too many guys have had soft tissue or season ending injuries this year never seen so many stars get injured in 1 season
Exactly, Let's call it a "pre-strain" He plays on it, he tears it the same game. Unless its magically cured or they replace his gimpy hammy, he is a no go.
Game 5 is not the time to panic I think the Nets with Harden and KD can beat the Bucks 2 games in a row. Rocket River
Dude he scored 30 in game 7 against the Clippers, you had to combine his shooting from game 6 and 7 to diminish what he did. It's amazing that it never gets mentioned.
