Kawhi Leonard out for Game 6

Kawhi is not a Big Baller

 

This is the Rockets' chance.

 

I hope the rockets wont make Simmons an all-star tonight

 

NO EXCUSES AT ALL NOW. THIS WOULD BE MORTIFYING TO LOSE. GAME 7 HERE WE COME

 

If we cant win even with kawhi out, blow it up

 

ehhh he's a big baller lol. it's a spurstalk poster thing to make jokes about another teams injury haha

 

Game 5 still has me pretty shook. I'm just thinking of the ways the Rockets will screw up this opportunity..

Rockets lost with Kawhi on the bench..

 

As a Rocket fan since 1990, I dont want to hear about other teams injury problems in the playoffs.

I have been there, done that.

 

Golly, I have a bad feeling for what is going to happen tonight. When Pops used to sit all his stars, the role players turned into All-Stars.
I remember a few years ago him resting everyone important and they almost smacked Lebron's Heat.

 

Figured as much
If he is the LEAST bit of discomfort . . .. this 5 days of rest will be the best for him .
He won't be able to rest as much before the Golden State Series

Simmons will be able to hack slap and bump and get all the KAWHI treatment from the Refs tonite

i'm with you. it's not as much about empathy for the fans as it is empathy for the player. I'd be lying if I said I didn't want him out though. Maybe I'm just being overly politically correct

EITHER WAY WE NEED TO TAKE ADVANTAGE AND GUILTLESSLY GET THE W

 

I did suggest to Pops that he should rest the starters in Game 5 and 6 to avoid injury, since they can't win this year anyhow. Now look what happened.

Will Pops rest starters now for next season, since he can't beat GSW?

 

Still won't be easy. It certainly wasn't the last eight minutes.

 

Exactly why I'm worried. :/

 

PLUS, he will be right at home in the Houston humidity. I fully expect Simmons to be damp from 3. I have full confidence James Harden will take him for granted too. My confidence in James Harden is at all time low

 

Agreed.
Had we not lost Yao in the Laker series in 09, we would have been 2008-2009 NBA champions.

 

I called that one. Smart move by Pop. Win this series by any means necessary.

 

the real question is should James Harden retire from the NBA at age 27?
