    Harden was fine when Clint got injured before with Tarik Black starting and did it when Dwight got injured too. Don't be surprised when he does it again.

    we just need someone to get rebounds. without clint needing to hang around the paint this will probably open things up for our guards anyways. man i wish morey could get markieff

    Hmm Clint is banged up, CP3 is banged up, Gordon is banged up.

    I can't believe I'm saying this, but maybe it is indeed time to shut down Harden and lose all our remaining games. This is getting ridiculous.

    bad injury year.

    Harden just needs to hover them around the playoff positioning.

    I feel bad for whoever is getting second or third seed. That would be quite unfair.

    Maybe Krisaps' current can't-do-much-yet level.

    That would still be an improvement - I'll take it.

    Well.... any idea of TF or Morey suckering the fans into thinking Rivers and an improved House is enough is gone.

    They needed to do something before and still do.

    Four to six weeks?! That's not nearly enough time to get Chriss the brain transplant he so sorely needs. Guess we'll have to just roll with his old, crappy one instead.

    What appears to be minor injuries shut Rocket's players down for months. Frankly, I don't understand. Gordon bruised his knee, we haven't seen him for weeks. A knee bruise? Seriously. Capela doesn't have a broken thumb, or a torn tendon in his thumb, or ligament damage, then why is he out for months?

    Yeah but if he is the only non vet min player playing he's gonna be in no shape to play in the playoffs. Capela's averaging 17 pts and 12 rebs a night, he's a big reason why the Rox kept winning without Cp3 and EG.

    Is Turbo, the Rockets mascot from the 90s still around? He could catch a few lobs from Harden.

    He had asik and made it into playoffs. I think Harden has a solid chance of making it work with other scrub centers. I'm just worried about him burning out even faster

    Moreknee needs to get Brandon Wright on the phone stat. Maybe even check up on Marcus Camby.
