    We made it respectable. That's the only positive thing I have to say, so I'll leave it at that.

    This game was over when we didn't take the first quarter seriously, and they treated it like the finals.

    Capelin had a wide open layup, how did he get blocked by jv there? If cp3 hits one more shot, we win, but capElla needs to step up in those big games to earn his check

    I would usually be pissed for a week after a game like this but I'm not even mad I'm actually proud. Damn I'm getting soft on these fools

    I want to mention Ryno was not there tonight. I would take Ryno over anyone on that bench.

    Can't wait to listen to Skip Bayless ignore how Harden single-handedly got us back into this game, and focus on that last-second desperation shot.

    Rockets have no quit in them but it would be nice if they wouldn't spot a quality opponent such a big lead. Oh well, games like this are why such long win streaks don't happen too often.

    The Rockets actually executed fine. Clint had a point blank dunk and was stuffed. CP3 had a good look in the corner and missed. Sometimes it simply comes down to making shots.

    End of the day DeRozan and Lowry showed up

    Only Harden showed up

    CP3 was a no show

    Not good. Other teams is going to copy paste the defense from the Raptors for their own team.

    You are wrong! We CAN’T beat the Raptors!! You have to be concerned if this ends up being the NBA Finals. What a shame it would be to get past GSW and lose to the Raptors in the finals. They seem to be on our level offensively, yet they may be better defensively. They match up with us so well... this team is a REAL concern for us.

    Cp3 was not aggressive enough tonight for sure . When he was confident and took midrange we went on nice runs .

    Ariza really brought it tonight too ... And Clint wasn't shabby .... I would've played him more

    Well, maybe Toronto is our kryptonite. Didn't they also interrupted what could have been a 21-game streak?

    Rockets are awesome. I’ve really been impressed with their past few games including the loss tonight.

    It just shows it takes a MASSIVE effort to eek out a win against a fatIgued Rockets team.

    Best team in the league...

    I'm not defending Joe's contributions over the course of the game by any means, but what exactly did you want him to do on that out of bounds play? EG was covered, so he passed it to the next option. He's against the clock there, don't forget, with no timeouts.

    Although I think he could be helpful at times, I don't see how Joe could possibly work with our "switch on everything" defensive mentality. Van Fleet was killing him on the switch.
