    Oh please let this be nothing too serious. Harden is a warrior so his no expression during post game doesn't satisfy me. Need to hear it from the docs.

    With less than a minute to go in the game. Scored a layup but fell down kind of awkwardly on it.

    Ugh, this is the SEASON right here. We need that wrist to be 100% by playoffs.

    It's obviously something given the way its been continously wrapped since the Denver game.

    The fact that he was clutching and attempting to flex it says a lot.

    I'm think it's somewhere between a grade 1 and 2 wrist sprain.

    A sprain, nothing more. I'd say 90% of the time it doesn't bother him then on certain angles it hurts bad. Re aggrevated landing on it.

    Lisa Slaters - Is there anything to worry about?

    Harden - Nah

    James has been super durable so hopefully it's not anything that will keep him out too long if at all ..... Still I have to question dantoni . Wtf was he thinking putting James back in when he did ?

    It was a move with no upside .

    20 point lead , 6 min left .

    Really it's only the next 2-3 minutes that matter . Either OKC cuts the lead or the game is over .

    If you put James and trev in and OKC scores a couple of buckets then they are gonna stay in the rest of the game .

    If you put James in and we expand the lead , that's the ideal scenario , but a 2-3 minute span is so small how likely is that ?

    If you put James in and the lead stays the same , what does Mike do ? If he can't let the bench do garbage time at 6 min is he going to give them time at 3 ?

    However if you DONT put in James your options are more wide open . The same scenarios with the score apply . But this way , the max minutes James will have to play is less .

    Plus there's a mental component . If OKC cuts the lead on our staters that's a confidence builder and they can rationalize they are back in the game . If they do it on scrubs then they know they have to face rested starters coming back in .

    Dantoni has done this many ****ing times and not once has James come in played a couple of mins and then left .

    If the goal is to get him rest , you have to take advantage of these games when you're up 20

    Yeah, that flexing and subsequent interview showed no thing was broken. I say take him out at least GSW game like the Spurs did for Khwai.

    No way Harden sits out Tuesday. He wants to have a big game and W versus Steven

    Of course he's going to say that. He doesn't want CF to blow up.

    It's a meaningless game. It's not like we are in desperation trying to fight for a playoff spot.

    You heard it from the horse's mouth. Shut him down or severely limit his minutes.
