    sit russ until he really is good to go.. russ when he isn't attacking the basket consistently is an anchor that brings down the team. and we'll need russ fully healthy if we manage to get further into the playoffs.

    play jeff green as the pick and roll option in d'antoni's offense with the starters a la capela/amare until russ comes back.

    Obvious but equally important facet of this is they get the Lakers in the second round. Or the Blazers - at this point maybe a scarier matchup!

    mid they can’t beat OKC they weren’t getting out of the second round anyway.

    as for predictions, as with everything Rockets over the last 4-5 years, imo it has less to do with Harden, or the second best player that is almost always a guard... but the forwards/forward-centers.

    cause so far, RoCo and Tucker have been horrific in the restart. Sure they’re active defensively. But they’ve been horrid offensively and get clobbered on the board.

    you can give up rebounding if they can shoot better. You can keep bad shooting if they can rebound better. If they do neither, the wins will only come on above average 3 point percentage nights From everyone else and low turnover nights.

    the Rockets has 20 turnovers today and no one but Harden could hit.

    Apparently OKC is not afraid to play us, or they wouldn't have made the effort to come back and beat Miami.

    I'm mocking JR LOL, of course I don't think we are losing. Itll be a challenge, if Harden is Harden, we are fine.
