Nets make prudent decision to rule James Harden out for Game 4

The season is far from on the line for the Brooklyn Nets and Sean Marks, Steve Nash, along with the rest of the team's medical staff made the right call by continuing to rest James Harden with his injured hamstring.

It's very unlikely the Nets will follow up a miserable shooting night they had on Thursday with another poor performance on Sunday in Game 4. The Nets brought in Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving to chase a championship and now they'll be asked to win a critical game on the road to take a stranglehold on the series. It's true that a series has not started until a team has won a game on the opponent's home court and thus far each team has protected home court. If the Nets are able to break that trend in Game 4, then in all likelihood Harden will be able to rest his hamstring until the Eastern Conference finals, assuming the Nets advance past Milwaukee.
