    No way is Harden ever averaging 8-10 in a serious where he's the first option. Shutting him down at this point is him averaging 20 in a playoff series. If Harden is averaging 8-10 we're scoring 60 points a game. Not happening. He also put up 20+ the last two times we faced Denver.

    You can't be serious.

    No way Harden only scores 8-10 points in a series.

    At the least I say 20 points.

    I feel bad for that team and would never wish that injury on anyone. Having said that, this does help us on the 2nd game of the back to back coming up. I hope he comes back to full strength, this is horrible to happen to anyone regardless of how little I like their game.

    In a playoff series? No chance Harden is held to single digit points...

    10 pts would be double digits. But like I said earlier, we don't know how tip top Harden will be with his foot injury come playoffs. And with Iggy on him, it's going to be rough for him. So 15-17.

    damn, this definitely sucks for the nuggets, especially because it's only less than 10 games til the playoffs. As much as I fear the Nuggets, it just isn't the same beating, or perhaps even losing, to a team w.o their top scorers/players.

    I wonder if Morey will try to trade for him this offseason.

    Sorry but you saying that harden as a first option much less a 6th man off the bench no way he scores 8 points a game. Rotation in the playoffs typically shrinks and he will be playing 40+ minutes. What a dumb Dumb thing to say.

    Well it looks like Memphis or la will get the 3rd slot no? Meaning we can't face Denver in the playoffs.

    NO it is not the same as Drose.

    Rose had his own signature shoe.

    also, here's a video for those that thinking the shoe is causing the injuries

    Harden averaged 12.4 points(3rd option) against Heat who throwed Lebron and Wade against him and everyone considers that FINAL series as a shame for Harden.

    No way he averages 10 pts against Iguodala or even Scottie Pippen on his prime when Harden plays for Rockets with this roster. Not a single chance.

    Wilson Chandler isn't garbage at all.. And they have Corey Brewer as well.. They shouldn't miss a beat...

    Harden is averaging 18 points a game in two games played against Denver. I wouldn't call that owning him...

    And what top scorer has Iggy ever held to 8-10 points a game in a playoff series...??? Lol..
