    The entire bench had a great game, the starters had a bad game. GG stood out to me, 18 points in 21 minutes. CP was a +13, 1-10 shooting so I cant say it was a great game for him either

    Bench
    +17, +16, +17, +23

    Starters
    -10,-4,+13, -10,-2

    Then again Gary Clark was a +17 without even attempting a basket.

    Can somebody compile all the horrid posts in the 3rd quarter? Please? I'll give you all my likes. This is not the Rockets of two months ago. This is not the Rockets of one month ago. This is an (almost) fully healthy juggernaut that can beat anybody and make it look easy!

    For all the flak James had taken recently about poor finishing in the 4th, he absolutely closed this one perfectly. He didn't settle and took the opportunities that Toronto's defense was giving up by playing so close on the perimeter. I think he hit 4 floaters in a row, too. I still think he has the weirdest floater in the NBA, but boy does it work great. The floater may be the Rockets' best middle-of-the-season acquisition this year.

    The 2nd unit to start the 4th was crazy. Gerald Green proved his worth today. And the momentum swing provided by the Paul-Green-Lin-Gordon-Nene unit was pivotal in the anti-comeback run. I'm proud of how the team handled adversity today.

    But to be sure guys, we currently do not have the tiebreakers vs either team, though we can tie OKC if we beat them in the last game. Standings will show us 3rd because ‘Houston’ comes before ‘Oklahoma’ before ‘Portland’

    Every playing member of Toronto's bench was -15 or worse. Unbelievable.

    Yeah, i still have to digest that home loss against OKC...but i'm actually more "scared" about the Blazers here, they have an easier schedule.

    Man am so proud of James. The game was super physical and no calls was going his way. 19 points through 3 quarters. Came in in the 4th and scored 16 points. Motha****ing mvp bruh.

    Thought they had blown it, but a great comeback. Paul had a horrific night, but Harden came back after an awful first half.

    Chris Paul running the second unit gave us the lead, both in the second and in the fourth. The Rockets in general play so much better when they push the ball for early offense, especially when Paul is pushing the ball and making decisions. Eric Gordon should shoot only or drive only to score. He seems to have mental lapses any time he has to put the ball down and make a decision.

    We would all be saying CP3 had an awful game if the bench hadn't shot lights out to let us go on those runs (along with the D ) he shot 1-10 lol

    James’s floater is old school lol. It’s a perfect move for a guard. It’s the giant slayer lol
