Rockets coach Mike D'Antoni would like to trim James Harden's minutes from last season's average of 36.4 per game, but he said he is more interested in lightening his load. Either way, he admitted it might not be up to him.
"You probably have to ask James that," D'Antoni said. "We can have really good plans and he gives me the death stare and guess what, he gets to play more. We'll see. We'd like to in theory, but we want to do it by winning a lot of games. That's how Golden State does it. Just don't play the fourth quarter.
