New post: Houston Rockets @ Phoenix Suns on 3/9/2013

Go Rockets! We gotta win this one. Cannot afford a let down game.

Is it just me or do other people want Harden to sit for 1 week or 2 weeks. I think we'll survive a few games without Harden and still squeak into the playoffs. However, we won't go ANYWHERE unless Harden is 100% healthy, and even then, it's unlikely. We need Harden well rested and healthy come playoff time. I think we can handle PHX without Harden and in my opinion Harden should sit.

In a word, No

[timetodienow1234567]

So you want him exhausted and looking like last night come playoff time?

[Cooper]

If we sit harden for a week we lose 2-3games we can't afford to lose

[timetodienow1234567]

True, but who are we playing, I think we could beat Phoenix without Harden the way Parsons is playing. So sit out those 2 games until next Friday against Minnesota. You don't think we could beat Phoenix 2 times in a row without Harden?

Nope

What's wrong with limited minutes?  Maybe play the first and fourth quarters?

Or just let him play. He's 23 yrs old. He will be fine.

Even without Harden I think we can easily split the games. I rather have him rest 2 games and be 100% than go 80% the rest of the way. It seems like he has a nagging knee and ankle injuries. I want him to rest, rather than have him make it worse or not be 100% for playoffss

[Richards]

Play like clippers and keep starters around low 30 min unless situation required. I knew I knew Clippers has deep bench. We don't have true backups.

[phaketrash]

Rather he play limited minutes after we blowout PHX early or something. LAL and UTAH are right on our heels, and it really is anyone's game right now. We have to pull out like 7-3 or (better) 8-2 out of the games from ORL down to Cleveland I think. We're 3-1 right now, so on track. Starting after the Cavs game, we have SA, Pacers, MEM, and LAC. o.O Tough stretch.

If Harden was closer to 30 I'd say let him sit, but he's 23. Hopefully we can blow PHX out and Harden only has to play like 26 minutes.

[Jeby]

It won't matter if Harden is fresh as a daisy for the playoffs if the Rockets aren't in them. He has to play.

[2016Champions]

We play the Suns 4 times, and a bunch of other horrible teams. I think it's safe to say we're making the playoffs lol

[Steven]

Especially considering the Jazz's collapse.

[Jason]

Ugly game so far

[Jason]

Wow, this is awful
