    Probably the worst quarter of the season

    James needs to pull his head out of his ass but so does MDA .

    Foreelz, though, we have to be approaching some kinda NBA record for most blown big leads... How do I look this up on basketball-reference?

    It's even crazier when taking into consideration the fact that just last season, we were the comeback team. It just makes no sense.

    leaving Harden in there with 4 fouls so they can score over and over on him 1 v 1 while posting up with no help. absolutely hilarious coaching

    You need to always find a way to get over the officiating hump.

    c.f. the Tony Brothers game.

    Stop blaming the ref. Toronto is playing good basketball game. I agree this is an excellent test game for the Rockets.

    Yup.

    One of the most moronic decisions I have seen.

    Raptors coaches and players were laughing their asses off making basket after basket while exploiting Harden's 4th foul.

    Defensive Rebounding also killed the rockets in the last quarter, and really even the 2nd somewhat.

    Feels like Tucker and Capela are the only guys on the boards right now. I know Harden has 4 fouls, but if Gordon is going to give nothing on offense, he needs to rebound, especially when they play small. Clark needs to as well.

    Chris and Eric need to start making some shots here, we need to make a good run now.

    It’s crazy how luck of the bounce can favor one team, it’s like every carom is bouncing right to a raptor.

    Rockets not shooting very well at the rim either.

    Essentially what the Raptors has done is double team Harden and triple team when he drives to the paint.

    Harden has made the pass when the lanes were available and our perimeter role players have gove 13 for 33.

    It would be easy to blame the refs, and they didn't help, but the Rockets just can't keep their focus and composure through an entire game. They blow huge leads as they breathe.

    This is what the NBA looked like 10 years ago for those of you who are relatively new .

    A nice game in the mid 60's after 3Q

    We can still take this one. Clint needs a big quarter. Harden will be able to play defense a bit more about the 4 minute mark.
