    Joe Johnson was Garbage we can all agree
    But still CP3 needed to be better for us to win this game

    Definitely a winnable game. Great job Rockets! Now that a loss is behind us, lets win the rest of the regular season!

    Anyone got a link to a replay of the last play? Want to see if Harden was fouled?

    Raptors ran what the Rockets run on the PnR. They used JJ's man to set the screen and JJ switched on to Vanvleet. Even tho GG's defense isnt anything to brag about, those types of PnR plays would not have happened on GG.

    Even more surprising is CP had a worse +/- than JJ. CP3 did not seem very composed in this game.

    That is on coach as well, he played an 8 man rotation-4mins from Nene does not count. It is our 3rd game in 4 nights and he should have given 20 mins to GG.

    I'm not mad about this game. I'm more encouraged because early on, it looked like the Rockets didn't belong on the court with Toronto. I was worried they found some sort of weakness because how in the world do the Rockets go just 1-9 from three in an entire half?

    We may see some copy their approach, but Rockets did adjust and they've done a great job all season adjusting to defenses.

    I didn't think Chris Paul had a great game tonight.

    Oh well time to start another streak I mean they only just won 17 in a row. Yeah they should have had this one but they played the team with the best record at home and almost won

    CP3 passed up a wide open layup and passed to Clint who got blocked.

    Couldn't believe he did that!

    Game was so close, LOL!!

    Best summary. Only thing I will add. Luc should have been on Lowry all game long.

    The Raptors played their ass off and we had a below average performance... still only lost by 3. I don’t feel too bad about tonight’s loss.

    Right . Also the raptors shot great in the first and we didn't make a 3 . Even though our shooting was bad over the course of the game .... It wasn't 0 percent bad .

    I'm happy with our effort tonight .

    I think we could've done a few things better ( cough cough not play JJ )

    But overall , sometimes the other team just had a better shooting night and you are cold

    I'm actually happy about this the raptors played lights out for like 3 qtrs and scratched out a wire to wire win and we played a terrible first half... the raptors aren't ready for Houston in a 7 game series

    Old man game from CP3.

    Got to be better.

    I wasn’t able to watch closely enough to see what exactly the Raps were doing to limit the assist numbers. Or if it was just CP3, Tucker, Nene and Luc sucking...

    raptors are not our kryptonite. kyle lowry was 7-9 from 3, had 30 pts, and cp3 had 14. they were at home playing us coming off a brutal road swing, and BARELY hung on to win.

    get ****ing real. you guys are probably the same ones that thought our streak was over 15 games ago too
