Rockets shooting themselves in the foot early on. They deserve to lose
Not to be argumentative, but you have the luxury of saying "who cares if they're tired" because you're not the one out there exerting. It's not...
[IMG] This article actually addresses just about every point I was concerned about. So be it. Sounds like the players are all fine and coach...

Ok, after your broke down the actual amount of minutes they all played, it doesn't seem so bad. However, do you believe in carry over fatigue and...
I'd personally have a difficult time trusting my "safe" players if they are fatigued. A fatigued "trustworthy" player is worse than a fresh...
sure but the soreness and fatigue does carry over the next day and even to the next game. Just sleeping doesn't regenerate a person 100%. I've...
You're right. Unless the Rockets 7-man rotation can achieve a blowout early on, I don't like the Rockets' chances down to the wire.
But MDA has said he won't play even 8..let alone 9. He thinks 7 is sufficient because he knows better than anyone.
Rockets' overall ability to win this series in 7.....I have no doubt. But given the staunch 7-man rotation stance, fatigue will rear its ugly...

MDA is the expert especially compared to me. I concede that easily. However, I'd be comfortable (and feel is the right decision) in playing...
Is this a slight on Harden? Why is there an expectation for Harden to be superhuman? His usage is leading to fatigue which turns him into a bad...
I get what you're saying brother, but respectfully it sounds like semantics. His unlimited confidence in his 7 guys is also a testament to his...
In some ways MDA's stubbornness to play 7 guys is worse than another "insert name" worse coach for the Rockets. MDA's style might keep the...
or Dekker
A Fatigued 7-man rotation could even lose to a fresh Sacramento Kings squad. Fresh legs matter.
