    Games that shouldnt lose but that is the price of of having a success . That adjustment period might cost us a few games but it will be worth it in the long run once this thing clicks and Hardens minutes are brought down for a fresh playoffs assault.

    In short lets not overreact to a few losses that will happen against a few teams that we should normally beat.My guess is he will be back for either the Raptors or the Suns game which btw is on national tv.

    Rockets will survive off talent while they adjust.

    Harden will be more fresh too in the 4th Q.

    We ballin. Main thing is postseason health.

    I think cp3 will integrate himself into the game slowly and organically

    Chris Paul has the best Offensive Rating of all time. This isn't Ty Lawson we're bringing in here. Chris is a machine and we are all about to see how effective he is now that he's out of that toxic Clippers culture!

    He'll return just as the schedule gets pretty easy(aside from the game at Memphis). It's a perfect time to ease him into the lineup.

    Based on Harden’s play last night I think it has already begun...

    Lol what? I assure you harden would rather win a ring than an MVP.

    Anyways I agree, but I'd honestly rather struggle a couple games and actually integrate him than have him and harden to my turn your turn

    Not concerned. Whatever happens will happen. As long as my electricity stays on and I have food in the fridge, then I am happy.

    I think it will be a smoother transition than people think. If you put Paul in the same position as Harden on the offensive end, he'll be successful. I just don't see him having problems with a spread court and running PnR.

    I thought that too. But this man keeps getting better and better. Harden has done his best balling with his players being injured. No Beverly, No, Howard.....etc This man is really the 2nd best player in the NBA behind lebron....but the media much rather talk about Durant, Westbrook, Curry,....None of these guys do anything better than Harden. Now Leonard is great and I would be tempted to saying he is 2nd behind lebron....but he misses to many games and not dependable. He won defensive player of the year and missed 20 games. Rmbr harden took the rockets to the playoffs in the West with On it Asik, a rookie Chandler Parsons, Patrick Beverly who we got from overseas, Francisco Garcia, Carlos Delfino, and Jeremy Lin.....

    I don't think Harden and Paul lineup is ever going to be too smooth, but Paul Gordon is going to be pretty lit while Harden sits.

    I don't want Harden to play that many minutes this season

    We have been saying that for 3 years now. I thought last year was Harden's best, now he is doing even better. One of these days we have to stop kidding ourselves: Harden is one the best (at least in the regular season).
