    Raptors this double teaming Harden at mid court defense is such a gimmick. Every Rockets jumper is so wide open!

    Just sucks knowing we could get up 30 and I’m still not comfortable at all.

    The coaching staff has failed to get him an easy look. They are asking him to play like James Harden when he isn't James Harden lol.

    Toronto will come back. It's almost impossible to blow a team out at home.

    Real quick: is James scoring 51 tonight? Heard that's what he needs to average 40.

    Is a goaltend reviewable during timeouts, or only by challenge?

    I'm a little lost on the line on this anyways right now, no replays shown anyways.

    Double Harden if you want Raptors, it is just opening it up for us to use good ball movement

    When the bench and role players score, rebound and defend consistently we can blow teams out.

    Eventually they have to move Harden back to single coverage or we can maintain the lead.

    I just provided you 3 examples on how you can keep the defense guessing with Pick and Rolls. I'll give you one more....you could always run a Spain pick and roll. I'm just going to assume that you haven't played or coached in organized basketball leagues before.

    Its official, Bmac needs to start just so he can shoot better. House is playing amazing off the bench.

    Everyone is playing really well.. maybe except Westbrook but I don't want to give people ammunition, he is hustling. Harden is passing the ball before the double even comes and everyone is hitting open shots.

    As a Rocket fan I know this will end in the 2nd half.
