    Is it just me, or does James Harden's floater look damn good? Like, I know he's always had it, but it seemed unstoppable this game, and he was shooting it from around the free-throw line, it seems.

    Holy ****, that game was too close for comfort at the end, though. James said in the postgame interview that the team was always finding new ways to win...well they're also always finding new ways to scare the **** out of their fans, *******.

    Also, the one good thing about having the game miraculously go down to the wire is that everyone can see Harden's defense on Kawhi. I think our MVP was missing so many threes because he truly expended great effort on defense the whole game.

    GOOD WIN!

    Kawhi seemed disinterested and lacking the fire he played with at the start. Clipper/Laker incoming? Methinks so.

    Bro, 1 bad pass out of 10 games in crunch time.....Back to back mistakes? Never!..... Cp3 has one of the lowest assist to turnover ratio's in NBA history......Last yr playoffs, he was magical in the last of games

    Raptors were kind of dumb going for the 3 there. They had the momentum at that point and should have gone for the tie.

    Hell no. Anthony Davis getting that. Maybe Far-'weed' can get 'most improved' Far-'weed' got 8 rebounds all in 1st quarter.

    Then he only grabbed 6 more for 2nd through 4th quarters. Lol. Far-'weed' is very suspect at this point!

    When rockets missed 14 3’s in a row...Gordon and Harden were shooting from 5-10ft behind 3pt line... pisses me off... i see if you are set right at the line or 1-3ft behind it

    That rebounding at the end was atrocious, but we managed to pull it out. Thank you JH13MVP!

    People are forgetting that the Raps are a really good team with a bunch of smart, HEALTHY vets. Also, their boogeyman Lebron finally moved out of the east.

    If you notice against the elite teams in the NBA the refs call it tight on James Harden and they allow the elites to bump him a little more. This game is an excellent tool for MDA on what is required of the roll players to be successful in the Playoffs.

    So glad they won this game. The whole team put in the effort to win this game, especially on D. It would've been awful for them to lose because of a couple stupid things in the last minute.

    As a side note, Kawhi Leonard may have quite a bit of talent, but his basketball IQ looked pretty average or below average from watching this game.

    Head of the Snake is Cp3. The Heart and Soul is James Harden
