Harden has a sore knee is questionable for this game
Most likely sit this game out and play Monday against Spurs

Minnesota pretty much clenched the first seed for you guys, so you can definitely afford to sit him.

This is a good game for Harden to rest, but there's no way the team should be coasting at this point.

There's a good chance that either the Spurs or Thunder end up as the 7th seed. The Rockets should definitely still be the favorites against either, but that's still a tough first round matchup for a #2 seed.

And Houston has the way tougher schedule than Golden State. 6 out of 11 are against Western playoff teams.

We should capitalize on this. This is just the perfect setup that Minny has created for us.

Spurs and Thunder can fight for the 7th seed all they want. The Rockets are going after the 1st seed.

I question whether or not they will play all 4 quarters. Therefore, I'm not too worried. :D

Gordon is streaky as hell, but he's just what we need.

Is anyone watching the game via Dallas Fox Sports? These are very good at taking subtle jabs at our players. :lol:
