    I mean this is a large reason we have CP3. I'm pretty confident the Rockets can beat the Bucks with only Cp3.

    Let him rest. He's looked a tad bit slower the past 2 games. Let him have 1 week off.

    Harden plays through pain - “Selfish. Worries only about the MVP.”

    Leonard/Curry - “Leaders.”

    Just have to accept that.

    Since when coasting in regular season games become something that a player should be proud of? Harden's philosophy is that since he is paid to play, he will play as long as his body allows him to. I think this is good work ethic, not something that should be laugh at, or viewed as being selfish or caring about stats.

    I just like everyone else don't want Harden to get injured more. But he is who he is because of his work ethic and dedication to the game. He ALWAYS tries to play through pain and injuries if he believes he can do so. He's an old school warrior, no f*cking pun intended. Now....

    LET'S GET IT BABY!!!

    Harden didn't even look all that great even against the Pelicans. He deferred a lot & most of his points were from 3. Pretty obvious he isn't completely healthy ever since that collision with Lillard.

    lol there is nothing noble about playing through an injury and then goes on to shoot 3/15 with 7 turnovers. Actually that chit actively hurts the team. If you think you can't perform to your standards because something is not right, sit yo ass down
