    Oh good. We are short handed vs two of the teams we are most competing with for 2-5 slots (assuming Harden stays) ... but get them back for the Kings!

    I'm betting on a 50 point triple double.

    Does this mean EGWall/Cousins miss out on two game checks?? Oh I’d be livid!

    I am curious as well
    This is not a "suspension" as I have been told
    these are more like "sick days"
    so
    I suspect they still get paid

    I think it depends on whether they violated the Covid protocol. I am pretty sure EG didn't as he is in quarantine because he had contact with a staffer who happened to got Covid, which I think is normal. In the case of Wall/Cousins, I am not sure if going to a barber shop is considered a violation. My guess is it's not a violation, so none of the three will miss any game checks.

    Harden's stats tonight:

    6/27 FG
    28 points
    8 assists
    7 rebounds
    8 TO

    Rockets lose.

    All I know is looking at the board there do not appear any new atrocities, so I'm already counting today as a win.

    I wonder how many people want the Rockets to lose
    If it means Harden is punished.

    If you were coaching Portland against the Rockets tonight, what would be your strategy?

    Me, I'd double and triple team Harden all night. If I can take Harden out of the game, who's the Rockets primary ball handler?

    Seems like the logical way to attack these shorthanded Rockets.
