    That was poorly executed and still looked like Harden got fouled on that shot

    Bad game from Cp3, Nene was shaky early on and that put us in a bad spot for the rest of the game and do I even have to mention JJ? Props to Harden and Ariza for getting us back in the game though! Hopefully we'll bounce back quick, for the next game.

    Yeah, they played out of their mind, we played like trash for most of the game.

    I missed the last play. Did harden once again force another shot?

    It took a monumental effort to beat the Rockets. The Rockets hurt themselves the most in this game. That's what is most disappointing. It was still a good game after a depressing first half.

    Great game Rockets

    MDA being married to Joe Johnson is what killed this. Gerald Green still won't get playing time.

    Good game though. I like the fight to come back against a very good team at their house.

    Rockets had to leave the country to lose.

    Should've put Gerald Green in for the final shot. No one can get a shot off faster.

    Oh well. Turned into a pretty good game. I don’t think the Raptors can hang with us for 7 games. We’d played like ass and still almost won.

    Bullsh1t First Quarter

    Toronto was favored anyway, so hopefully Rockets covered the spread.

    Bullshi1t game. Healthy playoffs is the primary.

    I am worried that tonight is an example of how missed free-throws are going to be our Achilles’ heel in the playoffs

    Joe Johnson might be the end of this team. Not even kidding. Coach loves him.

    I bet Green would have had at least 4 points.

    Meh... whatever. We're still way better. They treated this game like game 7 of the finals while we treated it as a regular season game.

    ****ing Lowry couldn't miss ****.

    Now looking back at the whole game, Rox should have won the game. CP3 coming out passive, pacing himself, team getting outhustled, etc. cost them the game. Oh well on to the next.
