    how low are we on ryan anderson that 9 points on 8 shots is considered a good game by him?

    his play in that first half put them in that position to be playing behind all 2nd half.

    This team shows the same problems year after year. Bad rotations, lack of effort, no leadership...

    Nah only one guy is really blaming Harden. The VAST majority of the criticism in this thread is on Gordon for his awful game and even that is qualified with "bound to have a bad game sooner or later." I don't think anyone (other than OTmaxhatred) is freaking out. Most of realize this is a blip where it all went wrong.

    Almost every page here is bashing the refs though lol.

    not too worried though, losses like this keep us focused imo

    The things that kill me about this game...

    19 TOs Rox/11 TOR steals
    Out-assisted by 7

    But here's the thing...

    The 2nd Q did not seem indicative of how 'well' the Raptors played........ a lot seemed gifted and Rockets could find no rhythm due to what was happening.

    Then in the 4th 2-3 wtf officiating moments killed all momentum of what was otherwise a pretty inspiring comeback.

    Raptors won by 16, and perhaps we didn't deserve to win, but this should've been MUCH, much closer. Infuriating game to watch as a fan of the NBA, as well as HOU.

    Harden's ridiculous 5th foul killed any and all chances of a comeback but that 2nd quarter defense is why we lost.

    I don't care what his stat was... that was a terrible game for him. Couldn't make any shot down the stretch except that 4-point play, turning the ball over like a dumbass, and not playing any defense. Why does he do this all at once when he's having a bad game?

    This game should not be about Harden. Even with those defensive lapses and turnovers, this was far from him being the reason. It’s clearly MDA for me and his system.

    brewersgoat, fiersdownbelow. There's plenty more and thats just from the past page or two. lol if you think losing threads are longer without a vast majority of them pinning the blame on Harden

    that and Gordon missing a white open three that would have made it a 6 point game

    All in all can't win them all, it happens.

    Looking forward to CP3 returning to take some pressure off EG & James because right now it's hard to win when one of those guys has an off night.

    & seriously wtf is up with our schedule? I feel like we've been playing really good teams.

    What was the Score when Harden got his 5th Foul?

    What was the Score when EGo got his 4th Foul?

    Those were two of the more ridiculous calls I have every seen
    Egregious!!!

    You are a damn idiot, harden if he were light skinned would be gunning for his 3rd mvp right now. He ain't no dumbass, he is a transcendent player. Best player in the history of this franchise
