    What's the story with this?

    PBeverley was obviously not fully fit, I think, esp this early in the season.

    Why rush him back when ABrooks was doing a reasonably
    adequate job covering?

    I see other teams doing it too (eg NYK with Melo and Stoudemire last season
    and the Bulls trying to get Rose to play last year).

    Would you risk playing a not 100% fit player and/or aggravating the injury
    further?

    The injury bug seems to be coming back to H-town.

    <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p>James Harden day-to-day with bruised left foot.</p>&mdash; Jonathan Feigen (@Jonathan_Feigen) <a href="https://twitter.com/Jonathan_Feigen/statuses/398893794461900800">November 8, 2013</a></blockquote>

    Given that there are like 4-6 players on the roster completely un-utilised,
    it seems a little silly to risk further injury to the injured player
    and lengthen the recovery time.

    Just my 2 cents worth.

    Did you watch the Utah game? AB basically played the whole 2nd half of that game on 1 leg... he was injured himself but couldn't sit because Beverley was already sitting out and Canaan wasn't listed as active. I figure they may be keeping him out of the rotation to let him rest some.

    I was gonna say I hope Harden plays next game, but then I remembered the last game vs the clips.

    Just speculating, based on that he was 'supposed' to be out another week
    plus
    he did shoot 1 for 10.

    Would have thought a normal PB would be better than a 1 for 10,
    esp against this Lakers defence.

    I know it doesnt work like this but if only he could have shot 2 for 10,
    or Howard make 2 of his 11 missed free throws or if etc etc...

    Nash used Beverley to make a double screen.

    His D is not as great as people think.
