    I can't believe we swept Toronto last season.

    It's another early game. A recipe for disaster....

    For the Raptors since they're about to play in overtime against the Bulls.

    I seriously think Harden binge eats or drinks and it takes him a long time to sober up. This game is 6 pm Eastern and will probably be a loss.

    Very good. Lowry, Derozan and Nogeuira all 40+ minutes, Carroll with 38.

    Not to mention OT means they get home later, so the turnaround time is even tighter.

    Here's hoping for double OT.

    I think you need to re-assess whether it's realistic that Harden binge eats/drinks, showed up to camp looking like an MMA fighter, plays 36+ minutes of 80+ games, drops 28/12/7, up for MVP award.

    He's just not a day person. Some people are not, and for some people it has nothing to do with food/sleep/habits, it's just the way they're wired. That makes a lot of sense to me.

    We're the best team they've beaten. Need to crush them tomorrow.

    Not expecting a win, but here's hoping.

    Can't keep starting slow like we have.

    Well the Bulls did not help us by beating them. Now they will be fired up.

    It's that this team misses alot of shots to start the game. I don't even remember the last time this team started out hot...

    Rockets have been a 1st quarter team, it's just recently they struggled early. Would be nice for the, to start fast again but I won't hold my breath. Rockets just don't play well in Toronto

    Won there last season after Hardens huge second half where he scored 30 points in the second half and hit countless clutch shots

    As of this post, Rockets favored by 2, perhaps reflecting the fact we are catching them on a b2b.

    on the raptors feed last night their color commentary guy kept mentioning 2 things:

    -- HOU is a great team
    -- TOR is a much worse defensive team without patrick patterson
