    GREAT WIN!!! Kept fighting and put the Raptors away!! Great game by Montrezl and Harden. It's just great to see them play and not give up, a total 180 from last season, where they would have folded before halftime.

    Also Harden's 10th Rebound is on ESPN

    Harden has the ultimate lazy looking game. No wasted effort, the epitome of efficiency. It's why fans hate him; they can't look at him and see effort like they do Westbrook. He looks like he isn't trying when he is absolutely trying.

    It's actually amazing how the Rockets fight back, you can tell no matter how bad it looks or how hot the other team has been they never lose confidence.

    That team chemistry is everything, honestly I wouldn't mind going the rest of the season with this team. Even a big trade like Millsap or something I'm cautious about (unless for peanuts) because this team will only get better with Capela back in the lineup.

    Come back win from down 13 points in the second half against a top 5 team on the road! I begin to believe that this team can win a championship THIS YEAR!

    Yeah. I mean, I want to win a high % of games and get an amazing seeding with a less than stellar roster, but if Harden is turning it over too much what's the point of winning anyway? Who cares if we win as long as I can't go onto other message boards and refute criticisms of Harden's TO's?

    Honestly, we should start considering firing MDA if he doesn't have this talk with Harden. I know a giant part of his philosophy is not restricting players by focusing on mistakes and instead focusing on maximizing their positives, but I just need Harden to turn it over less. I NEED IT.

    But no worries, I'll be back in every game thread to say it in the first quarter before I know how things are going to end up.

    Correct. Problems cost the team wins

    I've watched this 47 times on a loop. I will now go to sleep with the words "Blocked, Harden w/ the block!" looping my head to sooth me to dreamland.

    Thank you.

    What is SOOOOO impressive about this team to me is that Raptors are known for some of the same things we're known for - great chemistry, amazing effort, lots of heart. On top of that, they are really good at grinding games out. This game is going to be low key, but it's definitely one of my favorites this season.
