Harden is back, will start, was pretty sick ... not fake flu symptoms

I don't think that Harden's wrist is a serious injury, but he's seriously been playing like a scrub since he aggravated it against OKC

he was still playing great from the time he initially injured it at Denver until the final minute of that OKC game

 

Harden's wrist isn't going to get better with just rest.

He needs to take this.

 

Jon F. is a hack. He's so deep in the Rockets' pocket it's not even funny. Not saying this is not true......but I'll need more convincing, like a video of beard vomiting.......

 

Glad he got the flu before the playoffs start.

 

After the last two horrid games, Harden has a solid offensive night tonight, 31 points on 42/40/73 shooting, 10 assist with only 4 turnovers

But, his defense was absolutely atrocious (despite him somehow coming up with 3 blocks), and even though he rounded out his game on offense by getting hot in the 4th he took a bunch of bad shots in the first 3 quarters. His shot selection, turnovers and most importantly defense has to pick back up, I'm hoping he gets his rhythm back and recovers from his flu/wrist before the playoffs or I could see a first round exit.

 

James was 11/15 from the line.

 

No first round exit but loads closer first round encounter than we would have liked maybe.

 

Whoops your right, I remember him missing 3 shots at the end of the game too, don't know why I was thinking 10 for 11.
