    It wasn't bad defense The Rockets just missed shots then Toronto capitalized. then it was a parade to the ft line.

    Harden only on pace for 26. What a scrub.

    Got mad at Faried for something at the end, too. What a bad teammate.

    Sucks we're only up 9 but maybe they'll come out focused in the second half because of that.

    Most superstars carry. He does switch pivot feet a lot though. They called him for two travels, that won’t happen in the 2nd half.

    Would have loved to keep that big lead, but feel pretty good overall. Don’t settle in the 2nd half. Need to keep attacking the paint so it will open up the 3. Need that same kind of energy coming out of the half.

    So as bad as that quarter was... they only outscored us by 4.

    We weren't going to steamroll Toronto (although the chance was given), but overall a good half. Honestly, if not for the AND1s and stupid shooting fouls, we'd have a 15pt lead.

    Pretty much . . . . .
    Which is why it is shocking .. . . esp for a guy 20 feet from the rim

    Give TOR credit they started hitting their threes, the and 1s didn’t help us for sure

    He also travels almost every time he posts up. It's like he has no concept of what a pivot foot is when posting.

    The NBA always gives 50-50 calls to the trailing team. It’s Mario Kart rules
