    I feel that Harden being overworked in the regular season is why he is somewhat defeated by the post season.

    I wouldn't mind siting his ass down too. Rockets have to save Harden from himself. Just because we know he can go forever in the regular season doesn't mean they have to do it. Harden sitting means others will be forced to play without him bailing them out with his heroics.. I mean now is the time.

    You believe fans typing blog posts on a forum have any form of impact on how the game is played?

    Delusion.

    No one post or group of posts obviously, but the culture they cultivate and add to, yes. Each team/city holds a vibe and the teams pick up on that vibe. I.E. Cleveland with their losing culture and NE with the opposite.

    Houston doesnt really have a culture when it comes to sports.... The rockets, atleast. Have you been to a Rockets game? I know you have. And I'm willing to bet you were the loudest one there. Nobody cares at the games or throughout the city, sadly.

    Haha yea. When I am lucky enough to get a lower bowl seat it is frustrating how few people seem to care. Most are clearly there for social status reasons. Hopefully Fertita has some ideas to improve this. And of course winning a chip (or even making the finals) would improve the situation.

    Maaan just buy upper bowl tickets, tell the ushers down at the baseline lower bowl sections its your birthday and you wanna watch the players warm up from up close, go on flashseats and see which seats havent been sold and sit there so nobody claims them and bam lower bowl seats. Ive done it atleast 20 times without fail.

    But yeah, the lower bowl experience is pathetic. Nothing but oil executive suits showing up at halftime.

    Keep in mind its best to do when we play lottery teams so seats will be open for sure. I usually pick a lottery team loaded with good talent (like last year, I did this when we played the Bucks and Pelicans) Also, you gotta add the tickets to your cart to see what seats they are. Just looking at them on the site will just tell you section and row, then in your cart it'll tell you which exact seats they are.

    Use the bathroom before the game cause ya cant leave or you wont get back in that section ;)

    Yes get rest and return when 100%. I want to see Lob City(ClutchCity style) to Clint, Nene, Tarik Black, and to the rest of the team.

    Exactly. At his age, recovery is just slower unfortunately (I know from experience). He'll get right, but you gotta be patient with him.

    Yes, been to those Rockets games. I don't know if it's some polite Southern gentility or what, but I often feel like people around me are posing for an oil painting: "Now, don't move. Do not scratch your nose. Do not turn your head. Be very still."

    10 years ago at a game, my girlfriend and I were in section 405. "Hey, we're the only non-Asians in this section." We figured out they had to be Toyota employees and execs. They had obviously been forced to attend. Talk about lack of enthusiasm! By the middle of the third quarter rigor mortis was setting in for all of them; flies were gathering on their eyeballs, lips, and nostrils. I almost called for the coroner's office. Then, at the end of the third quarter, the HMFIC in the best seat (farthest down, first row) decided that he'd attended enough of the game out of politeness; he stood up and two-tenths of a second later the whole gang stood up as one and followed him in file up the steps.

    On, wait.....what's this thread about again? CP3 ain't playing tomorrow night? Good. Let him get that knee better.

    Good, let him rest even the next 10 games since we're not playing any contenders and should be fine without him. Let him get 100% healed.

    D'Antoni is right on the money. Get him to 110% before we unleash the monster. Dallas sucks. Save him for the Cavs on November 4th. We can go 9-2 pretty handily against the next 9 teams. 11-2 with a damn healthy as hell Chris Paul.

    A poster on this very forum made the Harden defense video.

    You gonna sit here and say with a straight face that that video had no impact on him?
