    It's encouraging that even though the Rox have played like ass the majority of the 1st half that they are right there. Harden with 7 TOs in the first half. Just ridiculous. He has got to do better man.

    All that b****ing and crying after 1 quarter and only down by 3 at the half. Lulz. On top of terrible 3 point shootings. If we make 30% of those threes were up comfortable.

    Raptors have his number. Harden telegraphs his passes, and Raptors are one of the best at exploiting it.

    lol well... I definitely welcome the 2nd half. Take away 5 stupid turnovers and make more than 2 threes, totally different game.

    I hope we can make the right adjustments, completely winnable game.

    Harden needs to stop this obvious pass BS, hes getting picked off and tipped all game.

    We're going to pay big in the playoffs for some turnovers and lazy plays...we'll not face regular season (and most of times from scrubby teams) defense there...

    Not just lately, for about a season and a half. He went from being a relatively high turnover player to astronomically disgusting on that end. It's a shame because he's doing everything else right. But he had 12 against these clowns last time and he's up to 7 at half time tonight. I mean who here actually thinks this is OK?

    James MUST take better care of the ball, damn. We're 2/3 moves away from being title bound. One of which is another backup playmaker.

    I'm not worried at all. I've seen this squad turn it on when they need to. Just like Ackerman said, if the Rockets had gone even just 5-17 in the first half from 3, they'd be ahead...and that's with the Raptors hitting at a high percentage. We just need to play aggressive defense...the Raptors are gonna get tired in the 2nd half. ;)

    Aight. No way this team is going to shoot this poorly the second half. Only down by 2 is a mini victory in itself for going 2-17 from our money maker.

    How did we score 61 points in the first half while only shooting 11.7% from the three? The pace of this game is bananas.

    Unbelievable. Can't hit a 3, Raptors on a FT parade and nailing their 3s and only down 2.

    This team, never seen anything like it.

    Dude said Harden's played bad the last 5 games. I guess 53/16/17 is **** and three straight trip dubs is straight ****

    The Raptors have more turnovers than we do.

    Harden all over the place tonight, wouldn't mind him looking for his own shot more as he seems to be in a groove scoring tonight

    We're just TV coaches, analysts, and GMs... Basically fans... lol To be fair I just usually talk about certain plays not the team
