    If you think about it, it is not really that far fetched. We played them well last year and this year.

    Of course Cousins did not play but they restrict Cousins' PT under 30 minutes so he is limited.

    Our players are always 120% motivated against them, more than any other team, other than the Thunder, Jazz, Lakers or Mavs perhaps.

    You might be on to something. Faried is our leading 3pt shooter at .429. Too bad our second best 3pt shooter is in the g-league (House at .390), and our fourth and fifth best shooters aren't with the team anymore (MCW @ .368, Ennis @ .367). :eek:

    The idea of seeing how the team looks without Harden out there for a whole game is becoming more and more appealing to me. Who steps up? My guess is Chris won't capitulate to the Warriors without a fight, Harden or no Harden.

    I wish the Rockets were in the east. The media and fans outside of Houston dislike the Rockets and Harden. If they were in the east I believe the NBA would love a Warriors vs Rockets finals matchup. It would be the "good guys" vs "bad guys". Since the Rockets are in the west, Harden and company are in LAbron and Steph's way. I hope he is sitting purposely. The Rockets need to do something drastic to change this or else you can't blame Tilman for being "cheap." Why spend more money and pay luxury tax when the whole world, including the NBA, doesn't want you to win?

    Sit both him and CP3 fack ABC/ESPN and their national tv ratings. A nice boring blowout on Saturday night would be fine with me.

    His decision making has been sweaty ass. He needs to get the hell out of Kobe mode and play more like Nash or LeBron. He’s been a negative since CP3 got back. Maybe rest can adjust him. But with that cancerous scoring streak of his I doubt it.

    That's horrible. Just sit him out until he gets completely healthy.

    It would be nice if we refused to play any starters because of the referees. Civil disobedience would be more than appreciate at this point if nothing is done by the league. We need the calls in playoffs.
    Really just resting on the down low.

    Two birds one stone, if you will

    JFC, lose two games in a row and Clutchfans has a total meltdown. The Rockets have already beaten the Warriors twice this season.
